Denim Jacket was first popular in
1900s
In the late 1800’s, designer Levi Strauss created the “working blouse,” which was essentially a preview of the jean jacket as we know it. Cowboys, who preferred denim because of its durability, as well as the fact that it happened to look great, were big fans of the garment. Once the 1900’s rolled around, Levi’s introduced another iteration- the “Type I” jacket. This style was simple, but was essentially what everyone would recognize today as a classic jean jacket. The design featured a single front pocket and buckle cinch in the back.From then on, denim jackets became increasingly incorporated into both work and leisure wear. In the early 1900’s, the U.S. Army issued “working blues,” which included either a denim jacket or work suit.
