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 7 months ago

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 7 months ago

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 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

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 7 months ago

Just like we ride moose to hockey practice every day eh

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 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@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Get after it!!

[-] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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 7 months ago

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

[-] all-knight-party@kbin.run 15 points 7 months ago

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

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 7 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.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 7 months ago

Mine is corduroy :)

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

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 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] Ginger666@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Nope.

Not Canadian

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 months ago

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

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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

[-] n0m4n@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 5 points 7 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.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

No. Never owned one. Not really my style.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 7 months ago

I owned a black denim jacket in the 80s.

[-] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

No. I'm more of a hoodie person.

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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 7 months ago

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

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.

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago

Nope. I have texture issues with denim.

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

No, but now I want one.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

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

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 2 points 7 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.

[-] ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world 2 points 7 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@lemmy.world 2 points 7 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.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 7 months ago

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 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Visibly denim counts in my book. Pic?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] MadBabs@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmy.world 2 points 7 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.

[-] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 2 points 7 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

[-] BallsandBayonets@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

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.
