Interesting denim jackets?

[Mark_O]

Thinking of buying myself a nice quality denim jacket in the future.
Would like one with a interesting design, different pocket design.
One that caught my attention is the tellason coverall jacket. Really like the look of the different pockets.
Another is the levis type I, think the rear cinch and single pocket is interesting.
Any ideas?

This is an interesting jacket. But it's better to buy a denim jacket with a historical design

Type 2 is more balanced than type 1 imo, that 4 different pockets coat is more chorecoat than denim jacket, probably better in blue fabric perhaps canvas etc, unnecessary in denim. Imo

I have coverall jackets and denim jackets. For coverall I prefer lighter weight fabric like chambray or lighter weight denim so that it drapes and is less rigid, especially because it's a longer length. Coverall jackets are infinitely more useful to me in terms of carrying everything I need, gets my keys, wallet, earphones, etc. all in separate pockets and not worry about scratching.

I think in terms of looks, traditional denim jackets like the Type I and II look way better, more recognisable and more flattering, but in terms of function, coverall jackets are supreme.

Not necessarily.

I like the Lee 101j “cowboy” design:

But I also love an interesting collar, so some of the 70s models top my list….
Wrangler:


Or Vintage Dickies:


I have an Apolis “chore” jacket in selvedge denim that I love and wear for work too.

Ciano Farmer has some interesting jackets that he can make in any fabric, including denim.

This is his Field Hand jacket, I have one in light blue denim with a wool lining.

Excellent suggestions! Like the look of that Lee 101j. Looking on lee's website, pretty expensive for a new jacket.

Cool jacket! The light blue with the black stitching gives it a interesting look.

Not really a denim jacket though.

I like type I over type II and much more than type III when it comes to denim jacket. If I were in the market for another denim jacket, it would be either Mister Freedom or Iron Heart 21oz (type III with handwarmer pockets added)

Whatever you do, don't pay a cent over 100 dollars for it.

Lee used to make great "Dungaree Jackets" and a nice "Chore Coat".
Now they make ridiculously long stupid looking coats.
Nothing dumber looking than a thigh length dungaree jacket imo

Easy to say if your a smaller size. Much harder since I'm a larger 46 size. Did find a couple vintage sherpa lined jean jackets on ebay for reasonable.

I love rear cinch on denim jacket, I have a custom type2 with rear cinch
