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!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] kender242 5 points 9 months ago (4 children)

While I find the Canadian tuxedo slightly dubious male fashion advice, I enjoy the conversation and would also like to know

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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]

I have a denim vest with band patches on it, battle jacket type thing if that counts.

[–] TexasDrunk 5 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Mine is corduroy :)

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I'm Canadian so it's the law.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Just like we ride moose to hockey practice every day eh

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 2 points 9 months ago

Get after it!!

[–] ShadowCatEXE 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 2 points 9 months ago

As long as you did it once you have upheld the legislation.

[–] sanguinepar 12 points 9 months ago

Sure, here, let me come over and show it to you...

[–] Hobbes_Dent 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You can re-dye them! (Not sure how well that works with any wool parts.)

[–] Ginger666 9 points 9 months ago

Nope.

Not Canadian

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I do, and I wear it, as is my God-given right as a Canadian

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 3 points 9 months ago

I think Trudeau is questionable but I did appreciate his full dedication to the Canadian tuxedo.

[–] n0m4n 7 points 9 months ago

Nope. Cotton in the wet and cold are miserable to wear. I avoid denim jeans, too.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends 6 points 9 months ago

Yes. It was part of my costume when I was cosplaying as a character from the film The Warriors.

[–] Rhynoplaz 6 points 9 months ago

No. Stopped wearing those in the early 90s.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

[–] multicolorKnight 5 points 9 months ago

No. I'm more of a hoodie person.

[–] xantoxis 5 points 9 months ago

No. Never owned one. Not really my style.

[–] dual_sport_dork 5 points 9 months ago

I inadvertently left mine hanging in a hotel room in Atlanta time time in the late '90's and never looked back.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I owned a black denim jacket in the 80s.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

No, but now I want one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Nope. I have texture issues with denim.

[–] ultranaut 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

Not blue but khaki. Basically the same material as jeans.

[–] VaultBoyNewVegas 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Can I ask where you live that that would suffice for winter?

[–] VaultBoyNewVegas 1 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Nope, I don't dislike them, but they won't fit my current style

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] felixwhynot 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Not since the 90s. I don't like heavy coats.

[–] ME5SENGER_24 2 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] frickineh 2 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My jacket is a utility jacket made with denim, ripstop and kevlar (basically cut proof) and is green; would that count?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Visibly denim counts in my book. Pic?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

The seams are like jeans, but from a distance you couldn't really tell it's denim.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] MadBabs 2 points 9 months ago

No, I always feel too restricted in the shoulders and arms and it bugs me

[–] RedditRefugee69 2 points 9 months ago

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.
