8 Classic Denim Jacket Looks for Men (How To)

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to denim jackets, covering their American history from the 1880s through modern times, and teaching viewers how to select quality denim jackets based on fabric, hardware, stitching, and fit. They then demonstrate multiple styling approaches for denim jackets across different seasons and formality levels, emphasizing classic simplicity and proper color pairing.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends prioritizing 100% cotton denim, particularly selvedge denim woven on shuttle looms, as it is more durable and improves with age compared to blended fabrics or loosely woven alternatives
• The Gazette team advises ensuring proper fit by following suit jacket principles: comfortable buttoning without sucking in, free arm movement, sleeves reaching the wrist, and body length meeting the top of the hips
• The Gazette team advocates avoiding the ‘Canadian Tuxedo’ by ensuring denim jacket and jeans differ in shade, keeping styling simple without embellishments, and choosing classic blue denim rather than trendy colors or distressing
