Etymology

The word 'jacket' originates from the Old French word 'jaquette', which is a diminutive of 'jaque', meaning a small or light coat. The term came into English usage in the late Middle Ages, around the 14th century, as a reference to a similar style of clothing worn by laborers and soldiers. Initially, jackets were made from durable materials suitable for outdoor work, but over time, fashion trends led to a wide variety of jacket styles, such as blazers, bombers, and leather jackets. As fashion evolved, jackets became an essential part of modern wardrobes, offering both practicality and aesthetics.
