Denim has been around for a long time. Its fascinating journey starts through the great sea explorations of the 1500s, to French and Italian fabric weaving, to slavery and gold mining, right to present-day $3,000 designer denim clothing.
The name of this fabric was serge de Nimes, and it later transformed into a more easily spelled and pronounced “denim” afterwards.
Over the course several years, a textile mill in Lancaster started producing a cotton fabric that somewhat mimicked the famous wool and silk textile from France.
The modern fabric as we know it was first produced in New Hampshire in the middle of the 19th century.
It combined one indigo colored thread and one plain thread to form a blue and white weave trademark.
Denim jacket was first created in the early 1880s by Levi Strauss & Co, which was generally liked and accepted by people, due to its overall durability and toughness for a lasting comfort.
Today, denim jackets have become a trend – especially when layered.
Contrary to popular belief, greasers and cowboys aren’t the only people who need denim jackets and can actually pull off the look. If you are on the fence, the following advantages might change your perspective about the jean-jacket.
One of the key benefits of a denim jacket is that it is fit for wear throughout the year.
The fabric is light enough to be worn in a warm spring day but cozy enough to work for the chilly parts of fall.
The only times when a denim jacket will not work for you are in hottest and coldest parts of summer and winter.
Denim is one of the toughest materials that don’t wear quickly, thereby requiring minimal maintenance.
Depending on the rest of your outfit, you can make your denim jacket look casual or dressy. For instance, a collared shirt will add a more sophisticated look to the attire.
Pulling off a denim jacket look is not difficult, provided that you know what you are doing. If you are unsure of where to start, the following tips will help you.
The secret to looking good in a denim jacket is to make sure it is snug and straight, and fits well in the first place. You can always seek the help of a professional tailor to make any adjustments, but it is always important to start off right. Make sure there isn’t any sagging in visible folds of the garment, and the length is cut around the waist.
When shopping, you will typically come across two denim hues: light blue and dark blue.
• Light blue – Recommended for a more day-to-day casual wear. Steer clear of any ragged or distressed products.
• Dark blue – Indigo and dark blue are ideal options for those occasions where you want to dress up a little.
Unless you are opting for a Canadian Tuxedo, you should always spice things up a little by contrasting your jacket and pants. Chinos, cords, and khakis will look fantastic as long as they don’t match your jacket.
Now that you have the basics down, let’s get rolling.
