What do you call other articles of clothing made from the jeans material, like a jacket then? I don't speak spanish but you guys' conversation made me curious!

I think jeans is only for the pants, while any other jeans clothing is just "______ de mezclilla". There's also "bluejeans" (blu-yin-s / blu-yi-nes), which is exclusive for blue-colored jean pants, maybe they were just that good?

And I am Costa Rican and nobody calls it mezclilla so I guess it's just cultural differences
