Ask Angie: Your Denim Jacket?

JoyAlison

Angie,
I was wondering if you might be so kind as to tell me where you purchased your wonderful denim jacket (the one seen in the flower pin post). I seems the perfect wash, length, and style. I love it!

Thank you!

Hi JoyAlison,

Angie's denim jacket is from Diesel. She's had it for a while, and it's also been extensively altered to fit her. A lot of denim jackets are too boxy, so if you find one you like, but it doesn't fit quite right, you might think about having it taken in. I had to do that with my denim jacket. Another option is to get a "shrunken" style, or to buy one that is a size smaller than you usually get so that it is very fitted. Now is a great time to get a denim jacket because I've seen quite a few in stores.

Sure! I'm not sure what your budget is, or what style you'd prefer. I mostly just looking for the "classic" denim jacket in a variety of washes and price points.

These are more "smart casual":

(I have my eye on this one as well. I've seen it in person, and it's great):

You might have to try quite a few jackets and maybe even end up altering one before you find the "perfect" denim jacket. That's what happened to me. I wear mind a lot now, though. It pretty much goes with everything except jeans.

Thanks for chiming in Ana and if I could replicate it for you Joy, I would. I’ve had this Diesel denim jacket for 10 years and it’s been hectically altered, which has been worth every penny. I am NEVER giving it up!

As Ana has kindly suggested, there are denim jackets everywhere at the moment. If you do a search AND alter - you’ll find one right for you.
