What is the best way to choose the ideal denim jacket?

 

The structure of a good denim jacket is as follows:

•    There are no tears, repairs, or pins on this item. It's all about personalising your clothing and expressing yourself...as long as you do it yourself. Store-bought denim jackets with pre-sewn patching, fading, or rips to make them look "worn-in" should be avoided.

•    Pockets are a must-have feature in a denim jacket. When you put on a jean jacket, you can't help but want to put your hands in the side pockets. Many denim jackets aren't going to have side pockets. Seek brands offering these if at all possible.

•    Button-closures and two-chest compartments This is a denim jacket in the traditional trucker design. Denim jackets lacking chest pockets or with zip fastening are common. Unless you currently have 1-2 truckers and wish to vary stuff up, most men aren't big fans of these. Adhere to a traditional trucker type denim jacket featuring flap compartments and metal button fasteners for your first garment.

Which denim jacket colour would you want to get?

•    Choose an ultra-versatile med-blue hue for your first jacket. The med blues washing is the first choice for some men who wish to keep their attire as simple as possible. The moderate blue, often known as "Mid-wash," is an excellent year-round colour because it isn't too bright for Fall and doesn't get too deep when the temperature gets hot. Denim jackets in med-blue washes are frequently broken-in, making them exceptionally comfy. This is the denim jacket you should buy if you only have the money to buy one.

•    For something more traditional: An good choice is a dark indigo denim jacket. The majority of these designs will be in raw denim, which is stronger denim that requires breaking in. What's nice about it is that it will mould to your physique as it develops, create specific wear patterns (just like your favourite pair of jeans). If you don't like raw denim, some manufacturers provide broken-in dark indigo denim. Dark indigo is a terrific "dressier" denim jacket colour, but it can be too deep for the Spring and Summer months.

•    The soft wash (bleached) blue is a great spring/summer choice. This one is completely optional, particularly if your blue is a mid-wash. When the temperature becomes warmer, though, a great light wash/bleached denim jacket, particularly when paired with white jeans or tan chinos, will liven up your style.

•    Denim jackets in white, grey, and black are the big hitters. These hues, like the soft washed blue, are accessible. They should only be considered once you've chosen a dark or mid-blue wash. White denim jackets are a terrific way to freshen up winter wear for men. If you want to go for a more edgy, monochrome appearance, denim jackets in grey and black are ideal.

How should a denim jacket match up?

Consider how well it fits. The fundamental criteria for how a jacket must size should apply to your jean jacket. Shoulder creases should be nearly parallel to the tip of your shoulder bone. It shouldn't be too tight that you can't zip it up. For a tidy appearance, taper your sides slightly.
Try it on over the items you'll be wearing it with the most. Try on your jacket above a t-shirt if you're in a hot city and intend to use it over only a tee. If you're going to wear it in the Autumn when it can get cool, try it on with a sweater that you regularly wear.
