    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.

      While I find the Canadian tuxedo slightly dubious male fashion advice, I enjoy the conversation and would also like to know

          But what other pants exist for everyday wear?

          I ask, being about 60% serious. To me, nothing is as comfortable yet good in almost all situations as jeans. Anything more formal makes me feel afraid to get dirty, and I don’t wear sweatpants outside of the home. Ok, maybe I’m closer to 80% serious; but fortunately I also don’t care if I’m judged for wearing jeans with jeans. I have yet to also wear my denim shirt under my jean jacket with jeans, but that day will come (albeit with the intent of looking a little ridiculous).

            Ah! Well, I get where you’re coming from. Here’s some ideas:

            • Black or grey jeans. Still jeans, but avoids the Canadian tux look.
            • Chinos! I have some light brown and green ones. Mix great with a jean jacket and a white/black button-up or t-shirt. Or polo shirt, why not.

            Of the above, only the black jeans are not easier to get dirty than blue jeans. But not disasterously so, really. I did just get some grease on my brown chinos from my bicycle which I need to clean now, so yeah, that is a point. But it doesn’t happen that often, and some clothing soap generally does the trick.

      I still have mine from the 90s. I haven’t worn it in more than 20 years, and it’s far too small for me (I’m regular sized, but in high school I was painfully thin). It’s got a bunch of punk band patches, both famous and local, most of which no longer exist.

      It hangs out with my guitars.

    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.

      You can re-dye them! (Not sure how well that works with any wool parts.)

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

    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.
