There is a specific gap in most men’s wardrobes between a good jacket and a proper coat, and the denim jacket lives there better than anything else. Not trying to be smart, not trying to be athletic. Just a clean, considered layer that makes a weekend outfit look like it was actually thought about. The problem is that most denim jackets either fit too boxy, fade in a way that looks tired rather than worn in, or come in a shade of blue that belongs on a 2004 rinse. We’ve been looking at the ones that avoid all of that. Cuts that sit right across the shoulder without pulling at the back. Weights that work from early spring through to a cool August evening. Colors that have something to say. A denim jacket worn well is one of the easier wins in casual dressing. These are the ones actually worth putting on.
