Few garments get older with as much dignity as those made from denim. Take a look at the outfits Dolly Parton has worn since the 1960s to see.

Moreover, the queen of a country’s style is far from being a brand as massive or timeless. The jacket stands out for its durability and utility among all the denim garments, the halftime’s undisputed queen.

The Trucker Jacket, or trucker jacket, began its ascending career towards the Olympus of icons after World War II (1939-1945). However, its origin dates back to 1880, the year Levi’s house put the sale of the Levi’s Triple Pleat Blouse.

It was Type III, denim, with its characteristic of three pleats on each side of the central buttons. The buttons to promote movement, rivets in the pockets, and openings in the cuffs. It was not a lie, as the perfect companion for the first pants marketed the Type I, a decade earlier. That had caused a sensation among farmers, ranchers, railway engineers, and miners in the United States.

In the 50s, the less conventional or anti-establishment youths appropriated the denim jacket. Two decades later, no child from La Columbia escaped its benefits: comfortable, light, and combinable.
