First associated with cowboys and the American Wild West, it was in the 1970s that the suede jacket gained its letters of fashion nobility. At this time, it became one of the symbols of the hippie counterculture. Young people in search of freedom appropriated it for its bohemian and authentic aesthetic. Great figures of music such as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles also appeared in suede jackets, contributing to the popularity of the garment. Later, in the 1980s, singers of the grunge movement, led by Kurt Cobain, brought suede back into the spotlight in a more raw and nonchalant spirit. Fashion designers then became interested in the piece and declined it in couture versions. The suede jacket trend was born.
