What about Jeans Jackets ....

[Quoise1203]

I haven't noticed any arm twist, but there is some nice roping on the waistband and hand openings which I I really love.

Samurai:

By the way, this is the same 15oz texas cotton denim as Samurai uses on the s0500.

^^ got that jacket on the way to me as we speak. last 44 Samurai had at their HQ.

about the twist. yeah I would say that heavier denim twists less but then, brands like Fullcount, Warehouse, Denime usually have denim with a lot of leg twist. more than Samurai

Sell one of your lesser needed organs Hog you wont get much for your liver but im sure your other ones will be worth a few quid.

Keep me in mind for the size 40 btw.

Any twisting of the arms or body of my lvc 506s was minimal to unnoticeable, and they're much lighter than anything samurai, etc are making. I think you'll be safe. And you're going to have to learn to get over leg twist to wear 95% of the jeans discussed here! ;-)

Hogg's problem is that he's all heart.

I love that jacket Double O.

Lovely blue hue and fadings on the jacket 00

[Double 0 Soul]

I can't take the credit im afraid. A friend of mine was downsizing to live on a house boat, he bought the jacket new in 69/70 the majority of the character developed in the following decade. It was given to me 5 years ago when he took it out of storage.

Jacket question......the back of my jacket is hitting about half an inch to an inch above my belt. Too short? I've done some looking around the Internet on proper denim jacket fits and see jackets hitting the back in all different places. I've found that to get a jacket to fit slim in the arms and chest, they are smaller and shorter in the length. When I get a length that falls to my belt, the overall jacket just looks too big. Anyhow, any input to my original question would be appreciated!

[Bobbo]

Well I suppose it comes down to what kind of fit you like. There are both shorter and longer models to choose from for your liking.

Personally I prefer a shorter cut. I'm wearing my jackets pretty much like you describe yours are fitting.

Thanks guys! Sounds like personal preference, then. So a retro look would be a shorter length and a longer length would be more modern?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

You could also fix that problem from the other end...just buy jeans with a high rise et voilà...the back of the jacket hits the (now higher) belt line

[Double 0 Soul]

I like a snug fit on denim jackets, i tend to wear them fully buttoned-up under other jackets during the winter.  If you have a long torso and dont like the shorter cut denim jacket, you might want to consider a denim chore coat.

 

Edit- as b-F says "pull your damn jeans up"

Here's a shot of where the jacket hits me at it's lowest point. Sometimes there's a little gap in between the jeans and the bottom of the jacket and you can see some shirt, even when it's tucked in.

My first post to SuFu, been reading for a long time. Inspired by Double 0 Souls jacket I decided to share my circa '69 deadstock single stitch big E Levi's type III that I bought last september from Hawaii. It's still crisp and stiff and with beautiful color. Tag has been torn off unfortunately, size is propably 42 and perfect fit for me. I live in Finland, and as we get maybe 4-5 months of jean jacket weather here it hasn't been worn by me yet. But in a few weeks...

How much to cop? kop.

You mean how much I paid for it? I guess it was about the same as one would pay for a repro LVC type III. I prefer the real thing  I also got a big E vest with some original 60's motorcycle club patches on it. These were in Bailey's Antiques and Aloha Shirts store in Honolulu, really cool place and the owner is really nice too.

You often get that with Gap jackets.
