As the leaves start to fall in the Northern Hemisphere, and the days get inevitably shorter, it’s time for a touch of a wardrobe shift. My first thoughts when the weather gets cooler are “I need a jacket?!? What do you mean I need a jacket?” After the initial shock of realizing that the months to come might be a little chilly, I just remember that denim jackets are perfect in times like these. With origins in workwear of the Wild West, a jean jacket will keep you warm enough while adding panache. The long and short of it: you’ll look fancy free and fresh to death in a denim jacket, regardless of your style.

With all the new iterations and variations of jean jackets, it’s easy to find something that feels right for you. I’m on that denim tux/all denim everything vibe of late, how do you wear your denim?
Just this morning I decided that it is time to find a better fitting, more stylish jean jacket! Perfectly timed post! Where do autostraddlers find their favourite jean jackets? I’m willing to put down a little bit of cash for good construction/lasting power!
I’m all about Gap’s jean jacket. It has so many pockets I don’t need to carry a bag.
Saved awhile for this one: http://www.railcarfinegoods.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=RMJKDEUCEX012
It’s technically a men’s jacket, but the durability, build quality, denim, and craftsmanship is stunning. Also looks amazing when broken in, thanks to raw denim.
I did not even consider a raw denim jacket! good tip!
Levi’s!
This is amazing as usual but it’s already what I would call “Winter” here in the UK, Lydia. Jean jackets would have been perfect this summer :(.
So what to wear now ?
Layers! :-)
A (zip-up) hoodie under the jacket.
Oh god you’re right that would be very hot.
It’s a look I frequently wear.
I also love the look with my suede jacket.
damn I wish I could have a fashion sensible person help me unleash the hot MOC lesbian in me
This is so accurate! I’m all about the hoodie under denim jacket/suede jacket. Living in my print denim bomber switching out hoodies, l bet in a month we’ll be in need of down gilets or duffel coats. Eee it’s nippy up north.
just showing up to support what’s going on here
Jean jackets look a little weird on me for some reason — it’s the square edges at the bottom middle (where it buttons). But one day, many many years ago, I found an amazing jean jacket with rounded bottom edges and it was MAGIC. I wore it every day for years and years and years until it completely fell apart and I have never found one like it again. If anyone has any suggestions, or has seen anything like that walking around recently, pleaseeeee let me know! :-)
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
So into the Canadian tuxedo representation happening here.
Youuuuuu know!
Not to sound obsessed, but last night on Empire Cookie was wearing a patchwork denim situation (including a jacket w/ gold patches) and was asked, “Why you look like Mr. T?” and it was so funny I fell over laughing. I do love plain old proper denim jackets, though. Levi’s forever!
Also also there is nothing more chill than a denim jacket thrown just over the shoulders. It’s like, “I already didn’t care and now I care so much less, what even is caring, oh wait, I don’t care, so…”
In a Canadian Tux right now.
