Denim has a long and varied history, being used as far back as the 18th century. The use of denim in jeans has long been associated with American teenagers, and it has also been used to make denim jackets.
Worn by American cowboys, denim jackets have become fashionable, and since the 1950’s, a number of icons have been associated with the jacket, including James Dean, who’s early death in 1955 guaranteed him cult status across the world.
Denim jackets gained a reputation for being stylish just by being associated with him. These jackets are still fashionable, and popular in the West.
Denim jackets are available in a range of colours, although the most common kind is the ‘blue jeans’ denim of tradition. Many designer brands now have their own special range of denim jackets, and these are sought after, not only by teenagers and people in their twenties, but also by adults, many seeking a fashionable coat for the spring. |
