Which Jean Jacket Are You?

My jean jacket is dark blue, cropped, fitted, with 7/8 length sleeves. Bought in 2000, so 22 years now. When it was brand new, a colleague saw it and spontaneously said “That’s a childrens jacket with long sleeves!” (I guess cropped jackets were a new thing then; mine’s bought abroad.)

I have the Levi’s “Trucker” jacket and I am not at all fond of trucking, unless the Grateful Dead are involved.

I (still) have a black denim moto jacket I found at French Connection in like 2001 and ended up throwing over my dress when it started raining at our wedding years and years later. After the ceremony and before the reception we all walked together to a pub, because my grandfather had given me a few quid just before he died to buy myself a pint on my wedding day, and when I stepped in the bartender said, “We’d have played Madonna if we’d known!”

Bahaha, just recently bought myself a chore jacket and this couldn’t be more accurate.

So timely! My 14-year old daughter has just discovered her dad’s jean jacket from middle/high school (late 70s …. not sure why he’s kept it around), which falls into the first category. It’s a bit big and a bit frayed with a few motor oil stains, but very cool!

My favorite jean jacket is a men’s jean jacket that I bought at Goodwill for my husband for a halloween costume. It’s oversized and can fit over a sweater which is an issue I have with smaller jean jackets.

At my high school, in the 70’s, EVERYONE either had or wanted to have a Levi’s Jean jacket. My poor parents excitedly gave me a jean jacket… it was a dorky, fake-denim looking Wrangler jean jacket… I wore it as seldom as I could and was so disappointed… I still love the look of a good Jean jacket…

Has anyone else seen the movie Nope? My first association with Jean Jacket was…kind of weird, LOL

Interestingly less fond of actual chores lol

I bought my jean jacket around the end of college – 2006/2006 – from the Gap. It’s fitted, cropped, no collar, and it’s perfect. The elbows are starting to wear and I’ll patch them when they do. I can’t think of another item of clothing I’ve had as long and worn as regularly.

I’m a floral chore jacket for sure

Anyone have a good Jean jacket rec for plus size women? Jean jackets are somewhat of a trigger piece for those of us who didn’t fit into the mall availability in middle school. I’m too nervous to even try them on in store….
