how to pull off a denim jacket..

[jschenkkan]

i recently came into a old levis denim jacket, but having really never worn a denim jacket or having friends that do, i was wondering if i could get some tips on what would look the best with it? do you wear jeans, or pants of a different material.. etc.

i tried to find this info, but couldnt find a thread about it. hopefully i didnt miss one thats here already...

dont wear jeans and a denim shirt or you could risk looking canadian

Denim jacket with chino pants. But, denim on denim does work as well.

should both denims be the same wash, or totally unsimilar?

[cultpop 0217]

imo the jeans should be darker than the jacket. black overdyed jeans look really good too.

or with a patterned shirt to take the eyes away from the denim frenzy

:confused: doesn't seem like a Canadian thing to me....

If anything, a plaid shirt, a beard, and an axe over your shoulder is Canadian.

Isn't denim jeans and a denim jacket called a Canadian Tuxedo...

although I've also heard texas Tuxedo, I'm not in the U.S. so I have no idea, but this has been discussed somewhere before?

and a large oversized cowboy hat to boot?

i've seen that kind of thing in australia too.

but it's all those cowboy look-alike guys with their leather boots and stuff like that.

oversized belt buckles, etc.

"Intellectual Vagabond", huh?

Comedy.

Light on top, darker on bottom.

I actualy preferr, when denim jackets are paired with jeans as opposed to chinos, or wool pants. I got an old bleached out Guess joint I wear with black diors or Skulls and it always gets compliments...

[sycamore no more]

Wear it open.

Don't wear it with the same contrast of blue as your pants (or don't even wear blue jeans at all.)

[jschenkkan]

alright, thanks alot for all the advice. is the denim jacket purely seasonal or year round?

I'm just fuckin' around....

But that's not to say that it doesn't amaze me that some people can't figure out what to wear with what, and when, without the help of the internets...

that's when you need to move to tropical climates...there's only wet, and wetter. dressing the self becomes easier in these conditions.

"intellectual vagabond", yes

Cheap, that really is one of my absolute favorite fits of yours.

On the topic, i dont really see the problem with pulling of a denim jacket. My only "rule" is to stay away from the denim shirts while doing it...

[jschenkkan]

thanks for the help everybody

[MharcI]

like that.

Sick fits/look. Whats the make of the jeans and shoes?

Fresh from the press.

[-questionmark-]

wearing a hoody under a denim jacket(or any light jacket for that matter) tends to look really good too.

Very Good point.

[doctorgnar]

Yeah, layer that shit. I like 'em with a nylon windbreaker (hoodless) under it, or with a heavier twill or wool jacket over it.

I think that japanese guy, Yojiro 'Yoji' Harada, off miami ink wears denim jackets very well, actually a lot of japanese guys were denim jackets really well.

Yeah, but I think it's more how they wear them than their build or skin colour. Denim jackets can look really boring by themselves, especially paired with jeans of the same colour. I think it's important for a denim jacket to have a 3D look, be it textures, fading, extra denim parts etc. I also think pairing it with patterned items, or items that pertrude the jacket, like hoods, and colours add a lot of detail to a fit. Same can be said for badges, pins, etc. on jackets.

jeans are ande whall grifters, shoes are clarks

Word, denim jackets should be short and tight, just hitting the belt. I wear a denim jacket all the time, usually under something in the winter and by itself in the spring/summer season. I like to wear them with jeans also, so you definitely need to break that up with some dope shoes, a slick hat and a loud top.
