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.

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.

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!”

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!

My favorite jean jacket is a men’s jean jacket that I bought at Goodwill for my husband for a halloween costume. It’s oversized and can fit over a sweater which is an issue I have with smaller jean jackets.

At my high school, in the 70’s, EVERYONE either had or wanted to have a Levi’s Jean jacket. My poor parents excitedly gave me a jean jacket… it was a dorky, fake-denim looking Wrangler jean jacket… I wore it as seldom as I could and was so disappointed… I still love the look of a good Jean jacket…

Has anyone else seen the movie Nope? My first association with Jean Jacket was…kind of weird, LOL

Interestingly less fond of actual chores lol

I bought my jean jacket around the end of college – 2006/2006 – from the Gap. It’s fitted, cropped, no collar, and it’s perfect. The elbows are starting to wear and I’ll patch them when they do. I can’t think of another item of clothing I’ve had as long and worn as regularly.

I’m a floral chore jacket for sure

Anyone have a good Jean jacket rec for plus size women? Jean jackets are somewhat of a trigger piece for those of us who didn’t fit into the mall availability in middle school. I’m too nervous to even try them on in store….

Love this!

My niece and nephew seldom argue, so my sister was surprised to find them both in tears recently over who got to wear the 80s Gap jean jacket she’d thrifted to school. The issue was short lived! I pulled my out of my closet, washed it, and shipped it to them, and now they each have one.

Bummer for me, though–I was still wearing it on the reg, and now I have to break in a new one!
