There are classic fashion pieces that remain unchanged for decades. Small details and colors may change, however the classic garment is so because its function and design are not easily improved. Like the human body (unchanged but for size and color) a classic remains constant. Garments established to cover, adorn and protect the body can evolve. Examples of classic garments include military inspired garments such as the Navy pea coat and the trench coat.
Like classic garments, the essentials have roots in utility with symbolic function or essence of original purpose. Denim Jeans are a classic garment icon as well as symbolic dress of American culture. Roots in India, the indigo and cotton fabric for dungarees
The American blue jean is made from denim; cotton twill
