Which Jean Jacket Are You?

I like the summer white jean jacket best. That said, I tend to gravitate toward jean vests instead (not technically a jean jacket!)
I have been eyeing chore jackets for a while now, and I feel SO SEEN. 😬
I haven’t found a.jean jacket that I like yet. They feel so stiff and stifling to me! I do love the look of them though.
If you’re not afraid of vintage or thifting, buy one second hand… someone did the work of breaking it in for you. :)
Oh so many yrs ago, my very smitten self, wound up with the denim jacket of the house painter my Mother hired. Waist length, male cut, held his cologne within the fibers. From that young girl crush, a jean jacket has always been a part of my wardrobe. Impressions are made early.
Love this! I was just singing the praises of my 20-year-old Gap Factory denim jacket the other night, bought on an outlets shopping spree in 8th grade. Still my go-to for adding structure and fun to any outfit :)
I’m a loooong time COJ reader, big time fan of the weekend round up, and I just realized that these comics always bring lightness to my weekend. I always feel a little more optimistic, a little more connected to my fellow humans after reading them.
My dad passed away from ALS in 2020. When we were cleaning out his things, we found his denim jacket from the 1970s. It’s original Abercrombie (like before all the disasters of the 90s) and it’s my most treasured item. My dad was 6’4” so it’s hugely oversized, but I just figure a good jean jacket can never go out of style.
I have a blue denim jean jacket, a white denim jean jacket, a waxed black cotton jean jacket, and a corduroy jean jacket. And I love them all!
Cut like a blazer, found on a Nordstrom junior’s department clearance rounder for $15 in 2003, still in regular rotation in my closet!
Love mine. I bought is while studying abroad in Salamanca in 2001. It’s so special to me,!
My jean jacket is dark blue, cropped, fitted, with 7/8 length sleeves. Bought in 2000, so 22 years now. When it was brand new, a colleague saw it and spontaneously said “That’s a childrens jacket with long sleeves!” (I guess cropped jackets were a new thing then; mine’s bought abroad.)
I have the Levi’s “Trucker” jacket and I am not at all fond of trucking, unless the Grateful Dead are involved.
Me too! I love mine so much.
I saw something a while ago that said that jean jackets are out of style but I’ve been alive just long enough to know that will never be true.
Me too!! I got one on Poshmark and I love it.
I (still) have a black denim moto jacket I found at French Connection in like 2001 and ended up throwing over my dress when it started raining at our wedding years and years later. After the ceremony and before the reception we all walked together to a pub, because my grandfather had given me a few quid just before he died to buy myself a pint on my wedding day, and when I stepped in the bartender said, “We’d have played Madonna if we’d known!”
Love this Lauren! I can just picture you.
Bahaha, just recently bought myself a chore jacket and this couldn’t be more accurate.
So timely! My 14-year old daughter has just discovered her dad’s jean jacket from middle/high school (late 70s …. not sure why he’s kept it around), which falls into the first category. It’s a bit big and a bit frayed with a few motor oil stains, but very cool!
