When was denim jackets popular

The stitches across the pleats could be removed to give the wearer extra room. A single piped chest pocket and silver buckle cinch at the lower back rounded off the look, but these details would be modified for later models in the form of an additional buttoned flap for the pocket, and a bronze cinch buckle.

Legend has it Crosby had the set made in reaction to an incident in where he was denied check-in at an upscale Canadian hotel due to the fact that he was underdressed, wearing a denim-on-denim outfit.

A whole new generation of young people were embracing denim, transforming it from exclusive labourer attire into the quintessential uniform for rebellious teenagers coast to coast. The sophomore jacket retained the overall shape of the Type I, albeit less boxy and slightly longer, and added a second chest pocket this time reinforced with bar tacks instead of rivets as well as swapping the cinch back for buttoned waist adjusters.

Initially, the jackets were produced with leather two-horse neck tags, although these were changed to the more familiar paper tags to meet production targets. Originals can fetch several thousand dollars on auction sites. The Type III, or , was introduced that same year, after being sketched out by designer Jack Lucifer, son of the woven red tab label creator Chris Lucifer.

Eliminating staple detailing such as pleats and rivets, Lucifer went about creating a more slimmed down silhouette by fashioning two V seams to run over the pockets and toward the hem. One unique feature of this jacket is the vertical grain of the fabric. Its name is derived from the three pleats that run on either side of the center front.
