Men’s denim jackets for every season
A denim jacket is one of the most dependable layers a man can own, easy to throw on over a tee, a hoodie or a shirt. Compare men’s denim jackets in washes from pale blue to black, with trucker, western and oversized cuts. Click through to the retailer selling the one you like, and check the fabric weight and fit notes on its page before you decide. Colours and finishes vary widely, so it is worth looking closely at the photographs to judge the wash and the stitching before you click through.
Choosing a men’s denim jacket wash
The classic trucker jacket has a snug body and chest pockets, while a looser jean jacket suits layering over knitwear. Mid-blue is the easy everyday choice, black denim looks sharper at night, and a mens black denim coat adds length for winter. Lined versions with a fleece or sherpa collar feel warm. For the full range, including womenswear, see our denim jackets. Distressed and ripped details give a rugged look, while clean, unwashed raw denim feels crisper and fades into a pattern unique to the wearer over time.
Styling a denim jacket for guys
Wear it open over a plain white tee with straight trousers, or button it up with a shirt underneath for a neater feel. Avoid denim-on-denim in the same wash, and try contrasting shades instead, such as a dark jacket with light jeans. Boots and clean trainers both work. If you are shopping for a partner, her equivalent is covered by women’s denim jackets, cut with a bit more shape. Pair it with a hooded top underneath for the cooler months, and roll the sleeves once or twice in summer for a relaxed, easygoing finish.
Sizing and caring for denim
Denim relaxes with wear, so choose a size that is comfortable across the shoulders and lets you move your arms freely. Wash it rarely and turn it inside out to protect the colour, using a cool cycle. Hang it to dry rather than using a tumble dryer, which can shrink and fade the cotton. Over time, a good denim jacket develops its own creases and character. Check the rivets and fastenings after washing, because a firm finish is a good sign of a jacket that will last for years of regular wear.
