The denim jacket was created in 1888 by Levi Strauss to compliment his jeans that had taken off. Originally dubbed the Triple Pleat Blouse, it was favored by cowboys, railroad engineers and miners. Although the piece has evolved over time, the innate coolness of the piece has earned the jacket the title of “rebels outerwear of choice.”
