Perfect denim jacket?

24 replies

Hi, first time poster but long time lurker on these boards Smile I'm hunting for the perfect denim jacket for the spring and wondered if anyone had bought one recently that they'd recommend? I'm looking for a mid blue, quite fitted but not cropped or shrunken. There's one on Boden that I like the look of, but it's a bit pricey - looking to spend about £60. Any tips gratefully received!

Joules have a nice one.
I'd look at Gap, M&S and the high street brands.

Mine is a Levi's one and I've had it decades. I'd try ebay for one of those.

If you like the denim chore jacket try Toast or Seasalt.

Mines a few years I’m old but I love it and fits your description- it was from White Stuff

I bought the M&S Per Una Single breasted denim jacket .
I sisn't want a short bomber style , I wanted my bum covered
It is very soft but not floppy , it's still a proper denim.
No frilly bits, embroidery or sequins thankfully Grin

Fat Face

I just got one from Gap with 40% off and it’s perfect... replaces my 99p charity shop one that I’ve been wearing for the last 6 years 👍 will try and link

I have a lovely one from Fat Face - I practically live in it during the warmer months and it looks fab, just a lovely shape.

ladyvimes · 06/03/2021 20:57

Maybe not your thing but I just got a second hand Levi’s off eBay. It’s awesome. Slightly oversized and looks fab. Cost me a tenner!

KirstenBlest · 06/03/2021 21:02

The Levi's ones last better than the more fashion ones.
The men's are better for pockets.

Fashion denim jackets are often to be found in charity shops, for as little as 99p as pp.
I have a Levi's one that I got years ago for £4 in Age Concerned, and I donated my rather worn identical one to a delighted relative.

Another vote for Gap, great, comfy denim jackets. A little big in sizing though

uncomfortablydumb53 · 07/03/2021 17:01

I bought a Levi one from eBay years ago and still wear it now
I find the second hand ones are nicely softened Obviously I gave it a hot wash
Bargain for £8

Karmatime · 07/03/2021 18:32

I have one from Fat Face from a couple of years ago, it’s soft and a lovely shape, by far the nicest one I’ve ever had.

TooMinty · 07/03/2021 19:22

I got one from Fatface last summer, think it was about £60. Very comfy and IMO a great shade of blue. Just waiting for the weather to be a bit warmer so I can start wearing it again 😊

BlueSussex · 07/03/2021 19:30

Best one I ever had was George at Asda Grin

Agree M&S do good denim jackets.

lindyloo57 · 07/03/2021 19:31

I got mine from H&M

luckyrabbits · 07/03/2021 19:37

Looking for an alternative to All Birds, I really like them but the never seem to stock my size. Any good alternatives out there?

luckyrabbits · 07/03/2021 19:38

Sorry wrong thread!

Berlioz23 · 07/03/2021 19:46

I love the monsoon ones, very soft denim and smart.

They do other colors and styles.

Thank you for all the responses (and sorry I went missing, didn't get any notifications for some reason!), lots to look at there. It looks like Fat Face comes highly recommended! I have quite a lot of my clothes from FF as they tend to fit me pretty well. I've never managed to get to grips with Gap sizing. I'll have a good trawl of eBay too. Thanks again Smile

Just thought I'd update in case it's useful to anyone else. I ordered the Joules one mentioned in the first response, and it's exactly what I was looking for, really nice quality denim, quite fitted but plenty of room (as far as I can tell - I'm six months pregnant Grin). Looking forward to getting lots of wear out of it over the next few months!

The Joules jacket is a great choice
Timeless and versatile
Enjoy wearing it

pookypup · 16/03/2021 06:55

@stickybear thank you for updating this thread. Im looking for a jacket to wear over maternity dresses and have just ordered this. I’m 6 months pregnant too Smile

Freetodowhatiwant · 16/03/2021 07:33

This is a shallow park question I know because we should wear what we feel comfortable in but...what style denim jackets are more in fashion this season? I have small and cropped and large vintage (80/90s) Levi and am wondering which is likely to make me look the coolest 😂
