I do. Love a good jean jacket, it's like pants for your arms. Wear it with jeans and you've got yourself a Canadian tuxedo!
Certainly. A men's fashion staple, if you ask me. I'd like a black one, too.
Is there a male fashion advice Lemmy, actually? I loved that sub back on Reddit.
While I find the Canadian tuxedo slightly dubious male fashion advice, I enjoy the conversation and would also like to know
Turns out there is one! !malefashionadvice@lemmy.world
Not very active, but it's up to us to change that, isn't it? I have some colour combination infographic lying around that I can share there, I think.
I have a denim vest with band patches on it, battle jacket type thing if that counts.
I still have mine from the 90s. I haven't worn it in more than 20 years, and it's far too small for me (I'm regular sized, but in high school I was painfully thin). It's got a bunch of punk band patches, both famous and local, most of which no longer exist.
It hangs out with my guitars.
Mine is corduroy :)
I'm Canadian so it's the law.
Just like we ride moose to hockey practice every day eh
I ride caribous. Through 1.875 meters of snow. While rolling blunts. To watch a game at the 'local' "pub".
It's pronounced meese, btw.
Get after it!!
I'm a bad Canadian for not wearing a Jean jacket. Just don't like the feeling of denim... Pants included. I do recall owning a Jean jacket as a child though, so maybe I'm not so bad.
As long as you did it once you have upheld the legislation.
Sure, here, let me come over and show it to you...
I still own the best jacket ever made, the Lee Stormrider.
Got it in like 1986-1990 ish, not totally sure.
It’s pretty discoloured so I only wear it for dirty work, but it’s still completely structurally sound except for the standard slice in the wool liner to make a pocket and path down the sleeve to hide your cigarettes in.
You can re-dye them! (Not sure how well that works with any wool parts.)
Nope.
Not Canadian
I do, and I wear it, as is my God-given right as a Canadian
I think Trudeau is questionable but I did appreciate his full dedication to the Canadian tuxedo.
Nope. Cotton in the wet and cold are miserable to wear. I avoid denim jeans, too.
Yes. It was part of my costume when I was cosplaying as a character from the film The Warriors.
No. Stopped wearing those in the early 90s.
I inadvertently left mine hanging in a hotel room in Atlanta time time in the late '90's and never looked back.
No. Never owned one. Not really my style.
I'm wearing one right now as I sit in the local library. They're easy to get I guess, not sure how much thought I put into it aside from whether they'd pair with my skirts.
I did at one point, not now.
They're durable, but I don't really put a lot of wear on my jackets.
I enjoyed it when I had it. Not very well suited for rain, though.
I owned a black denim jacket in the 80s.
No. I'm more of a hoodie person.
Not blue but khaki. Basically the same material as jeans.
Yep. Got a Sherpa denim jacket last year for winter and it was a great decision. Kept me toasty warm and was a good alternative to a heavy winter coat.
Can I ask where you live that that would suffice for winter?
I can't speak for him but that would be too warm for most of winter where I am. Maybe in the two days it gets down to freezing or whenever it sleets it would be fine.
Except for the snowpocolypse or whatever the fuck we called it when our elected official ran like a bitch leaving the guy who lost and an out of state rep to help people who needed it.
UK. So not particularly cold but I'm prone to anemia due to a chronic illness and I don't deal well with cold weather.
Sw sask, se Alberta
I own 2 black ones. I bought them because I was going for a kind of 70s look at the time and remembered loving my jean jacket as a kid.
Walmart near me had a sale on black denim jackets for like 10 bucks each. I bought all they had in my size lol.
Nope. I have texture issues with denim.
Nope, I don't dislike them, but they won't fit my current style
No, but now I want one.
Hell yeah. It's my favorite piece of clothing. Got patches and pins all over it, a real battle jacket. Thing will probably outlive me, too, particularly at the rate we're going.
Nice, I love a good battle jacket
No, I always feel too restricted in the shoulders and arms and it bugs me
Ugh, I wish I still had the one I had in college 20 years ago. It was lined with fake fur kind of fabric and it was so warm, and I'm always cold, so I wore it constantly. Sadly, I gained a few pounds and it didn't fit.
I do have one. It holds my cool pins! I wear it sometimes when I wanna look edgy. It’s a little tight in the shoulders but I like it a lot.
My daily wear is usually a bomber jacket
Not since the 90s. I don't like heavy coats.
I don’t own one. Don’t recall ever seeing them for sale. In any case, it’s probably too hot to wear them here.
I’ve always wanted a Sherpa lined one and every time I have tried one on I look like I’m wearing a blue refrigerator box.
My jacket is a utility jacket made with denim, ripstop and kevlar (basically cut proof) and is green; would that count?
Visibly denim counts in my book. Pic?
The seams are like jeans, but from a distance you couldn't really tell it's denim.
No. I don’t like the way pants feel on my legs. Why would I want them on my arms.
That being said I don’t know anyone that does so maybe it’s really just cuz I’m not Canadian like others have suggested.
Yes I have multiple that I wear regularly it's because I think they look punk as hell
It's my niceish early spring/fall jacket. Unfortunately that season usually amounts to a grand total of four days per year; the rest is either too cold, too hot, or both.
No. Denim is a miserable material.
Did back in my 30s when i was in better shape. Too stodgy for it now
No. Availability. Don't know where to get one.
