Battle of the jeans jackets

All jackets that I ordered are here. Not styled, just thrown over my lounge wear. I am also showing you jackets buttoned to show you the fit, but I will never wear it like that.
Help me make a good decision here. Any winners? Some of them worth trying in size up?

My favourite is the Hugo.

I like #2 best, then 3, then 5.

I think #1 looks too small and too short, but a size up might be worth trying, especially if you want a more cropped silhouette. I like all of the others except for the pearl and ruffled one. That looks too busy to me.
You’ve got some nice options here with the different washes. How do they feel?

I like the three blue ones - but not the one with the ruffles. My preference is the Hugo- I think photo 2 and 11. I find that a super flattering summer jacket shape and colour.

You have some terrific options here. My faves are 2, 3 equally and then 4. I would probably get a blue one first simply because I find it the most versatile.

I like Hugo and American Vintage best. The Diesel is okay but looks too tight. I don’t like the one with the ruffles. The white one looks good, too, but only as a second jacket.

My picks are the same as Sally's.

It seems we are all in agreement. I don’t care for either of white jackets and for pearl/ruffly one. That was experiment to see how I feel about different color or less classic style but now I am sure - I really want classic style in blue.

Regarding the remaining 3 blue jackets- I had high hopes regarding the Diesel because it seems very similar to my lost jacket. But I worry that it is too small and too dark. I tried size bigger in the shop before ordering this one, but that one was not good - shoulders too wide and sticking out and sleeves too long.
I really like the other 2 - Hugo and American Vintage and I think size is OK. I am not familiar with American Vintage brand, do you know it?

What a super selection.

1 and 3 are my preferences. I really like the white - it looks so clean and fresh.

#2and #3 are the best to my eye.

I like white for you (1) and the medium blue (3)... I guess both are cropped. I’m not sure about fit tho. I do like a jacket to close neatly and am not sure any do.

#2!! Love the colour, fits you nicely I like the pockets and they hit you at a flattering place.

I love you in white and love the short cheekiness of the first one but the pockets hit you at a weird place and looks a smidge too small. The second white one looks too long.

I also like you in the darker denim but don’t like the pockets or the buttons.

#2 and #3!

Agree with the crowd, but the right white jacket would be gorgeous on you.

2, because the fit is so nice it looks like it belongs to you already

I think you need a white jean jacket. The right one will look spectacular with your coloring.

#2, #3 and #11

Agreeing with Angie. If you want a white jacket, I like 4 better than 1, but it would depend on what you wear it with.

I think 3 first, then 5, then 2 which is a nice colour. I think all of those fit well.

Jean jackets seem like they should be so easy, right?

I like 2 and 3 for fit...I think. I do think you need to style them as you would normally to tell for sure. A half and inch in the cropped or not cropped direction can make a big different. I prefer my own quite cropped because I tend to wear them with skirts/ dresses in summer.

You definitely need a white denim jacket, too. Just not this one.

I love #2 both buttoned and unbuttoned.

Does #3 go with picture #10 or #11? Maybe it doesn’t matter if you don’t plan to button it, but I hope it’s #11!

I think you should consider a white jacket too - but I don’t think either of these are quite right.

Having read through your subsequent comments, 3/11 is my top choice- the fabric looks just slightly more crisp than 2/9 (not familiar with American Vintage, either.) I would have suggested sizing up in 5/10, but it sounds like you already tried that.

Liesbeth

I like three best for fit and how it brings out your eyes.
If you don't like the white ones, that's fine, bur I agree with the others white looks great with your hair. I also think it'd look great with your bright wardrobe. But I don't wanna be pushy ;).

I am with Nemosmom - exact same picks - 2, 3 and 5. I do like white on you very much too - #1 looks too small and I am not loving the white buttons on #4. So if you want a white jacket, I think you can do better than these.

anchie

Seems like everyone likes #3 the best including me. #11 is the same jacket.
One thing that is still making me unsure if I should keep it is the fabric. It is not the softest jacket, denim is thick and not that strechy. Don’t remember if mine old one was like that when new. Do you think that it will soften with wear?
And I still need to see how it looks in real outfit and is it cropped enough to wear it over a dress.

Liesbeth

Veteran

YES it will soften with wash and wear. I have a denim jacket of 20 years old, that's not possible if it's already soft when you buy it :).

Bonnie

I like the way #9 and #11 fit best. I find that I want to wear my denim jacket closed at times, usually because of the weather, so I make sure they look good both ways.

Marilyn

My favourites are 2 and 3. I'm into lighter denim at the moment so I'm especially liking 2.

I like #3.
