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!
I'm Canadian so it's the law.
Just like we ride moose to hockey practice every day eh
I ride caribous. Through 1.875 meters of snow. While rolling blunts. To watch a game at the 'local' "pub".
It's pronounced meese, btw.
Get after it!!
I'm a bad Canadian for not wearing a Jean jacket. Just don't like the feeling of denim... Pants included. I do recall owning a Jean jacket as a child though, so maybe I'm not so bad.
As long as you did it once you have upheld the legislation.
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
Not very active, but it's up to us to change that, isn't it? I have some colour combination infographic lying around that I can share there, I think.

Good bot.
Hey now, a Canadian tux is a whole different story, I'd never combine the jacket with jeans
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 have a denim vest with band patches on it, battle jacket type thing if that counts.
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.
Mine is corduroy :)
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.
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 do, and I wear it, as is my God-given right as a Canadian
I think Trudeau is questionable but I did appreciate his full dedication to the Canadian tuxedo.
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 inadvertently left mine hanging in a hotel room in Atlanta time time in the late '90's and never looked back.
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.
No. Never owned one. Not really my style.
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. I'm more of a hoodie person.
I owned a black denim jacket in the 80s.
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.
Nice, I love a good battle jacket
Nope, I don't dislike them, but they won't fit my current style
Nope. I have texture issues with denim.
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.
Walmart near me had a sale on black denim jackets for like 10 bucks each. I bought all they had in my size lol.
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.
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.
Can I ask where you live that that would suffice for winter?
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.
UK. So not particularly cold but I'm prone to anemia due to a chronic illness and I don't deal well with cold weather.
Sw sask, se Alberta
My jacket is a utility jacket made with denim, ripstop and kevlar (basically cut proof) and is green; would that count?
Visibly denim counts in my book. Pic?
The seams are like jeans, but from a distance you couldn't really tell it's denim.
Not since the 90s. I don't like heavy coats.
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
Not blue but khaki. Basically the same material as jeans.
No, but now I want one.
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.
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.
No, I always feel too restricted in the shoulders and arms and it bugs me
I'd be more interested in a used one. The wear is part of what makes them cool.
Should check something like vinted. That's where I got my Tommy Hilfiger Sherpa one for about 30 quid unworn last year.
I like Sellpy myself. Found some nice things there.
Yes I have multiple that I wear regularly it's because I think they look punk as hell
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.
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.
Did back in my 30s when i was in better shape. Too stodgy for it now

No. Availability. Don't know where to get one.
