The fashion definitely started in the '60's, part of the hippie Native
American stuff. The earliest fringed jackets I can remember in a band is on
one or two of the members of Buffalo Springfield. They broke up in '68.

Roger Daltrey from the Who also wore them a lot, as early as the late '60's;
Jefferson Airplane, other psychelic bands, too. The style went more
mainstream in the '70's. You can also look for pictures from "Hair".
Have you discovered VH1 Classic yet?
