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!

[–] toothpaste_sandwich@feddit.nl 16 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] toothpaste_sandwich@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year 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: !malefashionadvice@lemmy.world

I'm Canadian so it's the law.

[–] n3m37h@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just like we ride moose to hockey practice every day eh

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Get after it!!

[–] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] all-knight-party@kbin.run 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Mine is corduroy :)

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year 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.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] Ginger666@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Nope.

Not Canadian

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] n0m4n@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

No. Stopped wearing those in the early 90s.

[–] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No. I'm more of a hoodie person.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No. Never owned one. Not really my style.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] tal@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year 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.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

I owned a black denim jacket in the 80s.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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.

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.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

No, but now I want one.

Nope. I have texture issues with denim.

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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

[–] ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Visibly denim counts in my book. Pic?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MadBabs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

No. Denim is a miserable material.
