    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).

      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.

    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 can’t speak for him but that would be too warm for most of winter where I am. Maybe in the two days it gets down to freezing or whenever it sleets it would be fine.

        Except for the snowpocolypse or whatever the fuck we called it when our elected official ran like a bitch leaving the guy who lost and an out of state rep to help people who needed it.
