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
Turns out there is one! !malefashionadvice@lemmy.world
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.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !malefashionadvice@lemmy.world
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 ride caribous. Through 1.875 meters of snow. While rolling blunts. To watch a game at the 'local' "pub".
It's pronounced meese, btw.
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.
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.
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.
I think Trudeau is questionable but I did appreciate his full dedication to the Canadian tuxedo.
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.
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.
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.
