Few clothing items are as iconic (or American) as the denim jacket. First introduced to the market in the late 1800s (many credit Levi Strauss & Co. as the originator), this type of outerwear quickly became popular with blue-collar workers (think: cowboys and locomotive operators).
While denim jackets gained more and more traction throughout the early twentieth century, it wasn’t until the counterculture of the sixties and seventies that they really started to obtain mass appeal.
Thanks to famous musicians like Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and Bob Marley, denim jackets began to pop up everywhere. Designers quickly took notice of this and started to build-out entire collections, and now, they’re still a hot commodity (especially with the crisp fall air right around the corner).
