Ask Lemmy

I do. Love a good jean jacket, it's like pants for your arms. Wear it with jeans and you've got yourself a Canadian tuxedo!

Certainly. A men's fashion staple, if you ask me. I'd like a black one, too.

Is there a male fashion advice Lemmy, actually? I loved that sub back on Reddit.

I'm Canadian so it's the law.

I have a denim vest with band patches on it, battle jacket type thing if that counts.

Sure, here, let me come over and show it to you...

I still own the best jacket ever made, the Lee Stormrider.

Got it in like 1986-1990 ish, not totally sure.

It’s pretty discoloured so I only wear it for dirty work, but it’s still completely structurally sound except for the standard slice in the wool liner to make a pocket and path down the sleeve to hide your cigarettes in.

I do, and I wear it, as is my God-given right as a Canadian

Nope.

Not Canadian

Nope. Cotton in the wet and cold are miserable to wear. I avoid denim jeans, too.

No. Stopped wearing those in the early 90s.

Yes. It was part of my costume when I was cosplaying as a character from the film The Warriors.

I did at one point, not now.

They're durable, but I don't really put a lot of wear on my jackets.

I enjoyed it when I had it. Not very well suited for rain, though.

I'm wearing one right now as I sit in the local library. They're easy to get I guess, not sure how much thought I put into it aside from whether they'd pair with my skirts.

No. Never owned one. Not really my style.

I inadvertently left mine hanging in a hotel room in Atlanta time time in the late '90's and never looked back.

Nope. I have texture issues with denim.

I owned a black denim jacket in the 80s.

No. I'm more of a hoodie person.

Yep. Got a Sherpa denim jacket last year for winter and it was a great decision. Kept me toasty warm and was a good alternative to a heavy winter coat.

I own 2 black ones. I bought them because I was going for a kind of 70s look at the time and remembered loving my jean jacket as a kid.

No, but now I want one.

Not blue but khaki. Basically the same material as jeans.

Nope, I don't dislike them, but they won't fit my current style

Hell yeah. It's my favorite piece of clothing. Got patches and pins all over it, a real battle jacket. Thing will probably outlive me, too, particularly at the rate we're going.

Not since the 90s. I don't like heavy coats.

Ugh, I wish I still had the one I had in college 20 years ago. It was lined with fake fur kind of fabric and it was so warm, and I'm always cold, so I wore it constantly. Sadly, I gained a few pounds and it didn't fit.

I don’t own one. Don’t recall ever seeing them for sale. In any case, it’s probably too hot to wear them here.

I’ve always wanted a Sherpa lined one and every time I have tried one on I look like I’m wearing a blue refrigerator box.

No. I don’t like the way pants feel on my legs. Why would I want them on my arms.

That being said I don’t know anyone that does so maybe it’s really just cuz I’m not Canadian like others have suggested.

My jacket is a utility jacket made with denim, ripstop and kevlar (basically cut proof) and is green; would that count?

No, I always feel too restricted in the shoulders and arms and it bugs me

I do have one. It holds my cool pins! I wear it sometimes when I wanna look edgy. It’s a little tight in the shoulders but I like it a lot.

My daily wear is usually a bomber jacket

It's my niceish early spring/fall jacket. Unfortunately that season usually amounts to a grand total of four days per year; the rest is either too cold, too hot, or both.
