The country roots of our Owens

The country roots of our Owens

As lovers of music in general, and country music in particular, we couldn't miss the opportunity to pay tribute, in our own way, to one of the greats of this style such as Buck Owens and therefore, one of the most demanded Captain Denim jeans. bear his name -or rather, his last name-.

Owens, was a Sherman, Texas-born artist who went on to score several country music number 1s in the United States in the late '50s and early '60s. Undoubtedly, many of you will be familiar with the song 'I've got the tiger by the tail' , his biggest hit, which reached number 25 in the US.

The American also demonstrated his television skills as host of the program 'Hee Haw' -1966/1986-, focused on country music and the rural culture of the southern United States.

His last big hit came in 1988 with a new version of 'The streets of Bakersfield' , opposite Dwight Yoakam, Ringo Starr and Emmylou Harris, which placed him back at number 1.

As you can see, an internationally recognized country music artist, who created a style with his own stamp, could not go unnoticed in Captain Denim.

Thus, the Owens jean is a 5-pocket straight cut, high waist and slightly elastic fabric that makes it pleasant, current, comfortable and resistant. Like the music of Buck Owens, this is a timeless Texan.

It is a model available in a wide variety of sizes: from 44 to 64. For this reason, we like to say that at Captain Denim we have pants “for great people”.

In addition, the Owens is a local, ethical and sustainable basic garment that cannot be missing from a good wardrobe. An example that denim is the universal fabric par excellence.
