When Dwight Yoakam wore a jacket designed by Manuel Cuevas, famous Western tailor to the Stars, on the cover of his "Hillbilly Deluxe" album in 1987 his record company received over 3,000 enquiries about the jacket. Dwight Yoakam & Manuel decided to form DY Ranch Wear & sell a similar version of the California Jacket (as Manuel called it) to the general public. In 1989, the jacket retailed for $300, one-third the price of Manuel’s showroom garments. That’s the equivalent of $750 today. The jackets are extremely rare and hard to find.
