Recently, one of the men's magazines we love to hate published the following. They're pushing the 501 especially as more than a rebel youth, cool-weather jacket. As long as I've lived on the East Coast, I've never seen them worn as anything but. Is this fashion hype, or am I missing something?
"The jean jacket may be the most egalitarian article of clothing a man can own. Embraced over the years by both the Establishment and the anti-Establishment, it transcends time, class, and trends. Wear an inky version with a polo shirt and khakis and it's unequivocally preppy; put the collar up on a washed-out model and it reads punk. But the most versatile, and modern, breed of denim jacket is close-cut and worn and looks like it came with a built-in history." (Emphasis mine)
