Final answer:

Levi Strauss was the businessman who made heavy-duty work pants for gold rush miners.

Step-by-step explanation:

The businessman who famously made heavy-duty work pants for gold rush miners using tent canvas and then denim was Levi Strauss. Levi's blue jeans became the most recognizable American fashion. However, between the early 1980s and 2003, all of the US Levi's factories were closed, resulting in thousands of workers losing their jobs.
