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! [email protected]
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.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Hey now, a Canadian tux is a whole different story, I'd never combine the jacket with jeans
But what other pants exist for everyday wear?
I ask, being about 60% serious. To me, nothing is as comfortable yet good in almost all situations as jeans. Anything more formal makes me feel afraid to get dirty, and I don't wear sweatpants outside of the home. Ok, maybe I'm closer to 80% serious; but fortunately I also don't care if I'm judged for wearing jeans with jeans. I have yet to also wear my denim shirt under my jean jacket with jeans, but that day will come (albeit with the intent of looking a little ridiculous).
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.
No. Stopped wearing those in the early 90s.
Yes. It was part of my costume when I was cosplaying as a character from the film The Warriors.
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.
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 inadvertently left mine hanging in a hotel room in Atlanta time time in the late '90's and never looked back.
No. I'm more of a hoodie person.
I owned a black denim jacket in the 80s.
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.
No, but now I want one.
Not blue but khaki. Basically the same material as jeans.
Nope. I have texture issues with denim.
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.
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.
Nope, I don't dislike them, but they won't fit my current style
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Not since the 90s. I don't like heavy coats.
