Where have all the plain denim jackets gone?

Looking for a plain mid-blue denim jacket for dd. Everything seems to be embellished or with logos or ripped.

I did find a plain one from Gap but the sleeves came up awfully long so want to see if there are any alternatives. She's a size 8/10.

Turn the cuffs over.

Dancergirl · 19/06/2017 11:09

I did suggest that and we tried it but she's not keen!

Does she want a big jacket or a more feminine one? I have Levi's ones from about 15 yrs ago that I kept because they have lots of pockets.
They cost more than twice what I paid now.
You could try the high street I suppose. A quick go ogle search and they all showed rolled up cuffs. H&M has one. www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0453069004.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9NCnytbJ1AIV4b_tCh3QawA2EAYYBCABEgIBJfD_BwE&s_kwcid=AL!850!3!45210899130!!!g!310992041676!&ef_id=V78aLwAABIhr153s:20170619101643:s#Denim blue

She wants it quite fitted, not oversized or anything like that. That H&M one may fit the bill, thank you.

You're welcome!

I bought one recently from Mango. She'll probably need an XS if it's to be fitted as the sizing is generous. I'm a 10 with an ample chest and have an S.

Dancergirl · 19/06/2017 13:31

Thank you chloe might order the Mango one too to try. How do the sleeves come up?

I've just tried it on! I would say the sleeves are fairly long but not overly so. I'm 5ft 6 and they come about one cm under the wrist bone.

Peacocks! Took me ages to find one too

Oasis always have plain denim jackets in store. Come up true to size.

NEmum · 19/06/2017 15:43

Hush had one in a John Lewis store, lovely, normal, £59 I think.

RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime · 19/06/2017 16:25

I have this Land's End one

Another one here

dinodiva · 19/06/2017 17:07

I recently got a nice one from Fat face. Really pleased with it.

Sainsbury's Tu - gorgeous navy denim, fitted and not too long in the body. I'd definitely recommend it

ThinkFastNotSlow · 19/06/2017 21:08

If she's an 8 /10, she might still fit into a Zara Girls jacket - their largest kiddie size is age 14/15 but would fit a slim teen IMHO (depending on height maybe). They're very plain currently, and much cheaper than adult's ones.

TowerRose · 20/06/2017 08:28

Have you tried Next OP? They have lovely plain denim jackets in a few different shades? I had one from there last year and it looks lovely and goes with everything

Dancergirl · 20/06/2017 09:41

Thank you so much, brilliant suggestions. I've ordered one from Next and might try another too for comparison Smile
