The slim fit denim jacket had its moment and that moment has passed. What too many men are still buying sits fine on the hanger and then spends the rest of its life restricting movement across the shoulders and pulling at the chest. A regular fit does not mean a boxy fit. It means room where you actually need it, through the body and across the back, without the silhouette going soft on you. The best ones are cut with enough structure to layer over a hoodie in fall and trim enough to wear over a shirt in spring without looking like you borrowed it. We have been looking specifically at washes that age well rather than ones that look great on day one and odd by month six. Medium indigo, worn but not destroyed, is where most of these land. The fit makes them sharp. The fabric and construction make them worth it.
