Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

@Iron Horse

Big welcome to you!!

But, I finally decided, not to get the bright-blue "Buckman"-coloured sherpa from Levi's. If I will get one of their sherpas, the next time, it would definitely be the "Lucky Town"-coloured one!
It's just my colour, like on my storebrand jacket.

just last week when I went to the workshop who I ordered my jackets, they did lots of those tan faux suede microfiber and also faux shearling liner, order from Japan (materials also coming from there, and also washing instruction tape in japanese) there was 36size on the table and they asked me to try on, too wide on the shoulder too short on the sleeve, boxy cut, maybe meant to be oversize look like that, but I don't dig.

But, on the other side, the bright-blue "Buckman" would probably not much heat up in the sun.

Um...

Thank you; on the topic of denim jackets, I'm a big fan of the Sugar Cane type II. I also have a Levi's x Supreme (!) hickory stripe type I that is nice.

And I'm probably the only person with a denim-sherpa jacket, here in the middle of Germany, woohoo.

Wonderful, just wonderful! Ther sherpa-lining, the sleeve-paddding, the whole sherpa-jacket absolutely windproof.

The most German would call this weather the most ugly weather. Around +2°Celsius, windy, HEAVY wet, so that the wetness wants under your clothes.
But all is fine, with the sherpa. Warms perfectly.

Everyone should own a Levi's Sherpa lined denim jacket. My sage advice for today LOL

Been wearing this dead-stock Big Ben that I picked up recently (hanging on a rack at the back of a long-time clothing store in a small Missouri town). Made in USA, Talon zip. Circa 1980? Excuse the dirt ... it is a working jacket.

Godfather of turtleneck-pullovers:

I'm sorry Trench, but those turtle necks are ruining it for me. Haha.
A Troyer in merino wool would be great!

 

[Trenchfriend]

@A-1
No problem.
Troyers are ok and I got some of them, but I prefer the basic (thinner) cotton-turtleneck pullovers, underways, because I never liked the feel of usual knit-troyers on my neck, when they are closed. It's too inconvenient for my neck, with these troyer-zippers. That's the whole story.

I've just stuck the eBay link to my vintage Lee 101-J jacket in the Lounge classifieds if anyone's interested.

Would you all like to buy another nice blue Denim-jacket or a new coffee-brown Canvas-(field)jacket?

If I buy a denim jacket again, I'd be looking at black or brown cotton duck. I've gone off the double denim look and I wouldn't really wear a denim jacket with anything other than jeans.

Every time I wear my 80s Levi denim jacket, my SO starts "Denim on denim on denim on denim..."

Which is why with all my denim - and I have lots of shirts, jackets, jeans - I got some khakis to break it up when I'm feeling Canadian
It's a tough balance between looking like the creep at the mall and fashionable with lots of denim.
