thats fine

>>14217924
it's fine, but on guys, denim jackets have to be tight to keep from looking like a trucker, and most are too damned long. You want the jacket to end around the small of your back. Denim jackets were literally invented for oil field workers and truckers, who used to have to change their own tires, which is a greasy as fuck job. They fit like a smock, but it's not so desireable today.
If you get a very loose fit, you're going to be limited to those tumblr/soft grunge/japanese baggy black pant with the ankle taper type looks.

Well fitted denim jackets go well with chinos. denim on denim is fine, but wear a yellow shirt to contrast and avoid the canadian tuxedo look.

>have to be tight to keep from looking like a trucker, and most are too damned long. You want the jacket to end around the small of your back
FUCK. I went ahead and got the size that isn't tight, but at least not loose; more well-fitted. It also goes past the small of my back. Am I fucked?

>>14217992

its just a denim jacket wear the shit out of it. people think too much

>>14218003

>>14217992
NO! thou art not fucked.
You can still wear the jacket in a good way. You could;
>unbutton, and roll up the sleeves to creat drape, if the sleeve cuff extends to the middle of your palm or below. This turns a baggy jacket into an 80s Akira look
>lift the collar
>actually learn to sew and raise the waist - although this may destroy any pockets.
>apply two buttons, or a pin as an experiment, to the back and force the jacket to be worn open. I'd say only girls can get away with this.

But before you do any altering, check to see if it's worth anything. Pre-1984 Levis can be worth good money.

>>14217992
I think you are refs this look ( pic related) don't over think things, if you like it, wear it. if you dont like a item of clothing, customise it by taking it in or putting new fabrics on/with it

pic related

>>14218010
side idea; punk it out into an art peice. Patches, pins, studs, razoring, etc. Depending on the value.

>>14218017
I totally do with all my denim jackets, I'm working on one for a friend and one for myself.
clear PVC back patches are my thing

found pic related to DIY. f.uck the normie roses and peals, gimme spikes and texture

Here's what I got

>>14218045
I don't care for the exposed arms. But I do like the botton fringe. If OP wanted they could simply crop the jacket, and create punk fringe, or save the waist strap for resewing... which wouldn't take but a few minutes.
This is one with an acid wash/ dip. I like the chest patches.

>>14218060

>>14218060
I would suggest
>rolling the sleeves up
>turning the collar up
>badass

>>14218060
I would fold, not roll, the unbuttoned cuff back to clear the hand, and help add a touch of drape. An exposed wrist bone is fine.
But here's a question - what brand is the jacket? I can't see the side of the front pocket, so it culd be Levis, or a clones, as most denim jackets are clones of the Levi's trucker model.

>>14218062
>>14218060
It's too big. U look fat :(

>>14218077
I could exchange it for a size smaller so if others agree with this please say

>>14218072
It's from my department store's line. I checked out some Levis I could find but didn't really like the ones I saw.

I agree with exchanging it for a smaller size. the current jacket shoulders are 2 inches too big for you

>>14218082
Yes, do exchange it for a tigher one. I had my heart so ready for a thrift store first model Levi's trucker, but it was not to be.

this is mine

>>14218010
This looks completely ridiculous. Surely you understand that.
>>14218060
This is too big. Unless you want the oversized look, either shrink this one, or get one smaller size.

>>14217944
>it's fine, but on guys, denim jackets have to be tight to keep from looking like a trucker,

This shit depends entirely on the type of denim jacket. If you get a trucker then yes, you want it be somewhat snug. If you get a western one or a blouson then you do not and it looks stupid if you make it snug,

>>14218154
Well shit, which one did I get?

>>14218160
trucker

>>14218144
>This looks completely ridiculous. Surely you understand that.
how so

>>14217992
nah that's better

>>14218062
bait material

>>14219922
No need for that anon. I'm not familiar with denim jackets

>>14217924
Denim jackets are classic and one of the easiest pieces to pair with literally anything else. The only way it’d look bad is if you’re overweight

>>14218003
How does this jacket manage to look too big and too small at the same time?

Don't forget to use the adjustment tabs at the bottom of your jacket, it can noticeably change the way it fits.

Are chore coats /fa/? Didn't want a trucker like everyone else, plus the zipper and blanket lining make it a better choice for colder weather. I like the color a lot too, black warp with blue overdyed weft. Got it in 2011 when raws were /fa/.

>>14217924
Bump.

>>14218006
love these colors

Always wear black pants with blue denim jackets

Time to stop wearing mine.

>>14220545
This is terrible advice. It's the laziest thing you can do, the equivalent of not trying. Can only look decent with dark washes for the most part.

>>14220604
So what then? Chinos?

>>14220699
Chinos, dark brown, grey, olive. Matching wash jeans if you know how to style it. Some will say never match the washes but at this point it's a matter of taste. Black is just too easy, it's the go to when you can't think of anything. I do it too but I try to avoid it.

>>14220713
Can beige work? It is still a neutral color correct?

>>14220720
Yeah, earth tones in general. I just find certain shades of beige look awful, be very critical.

I exchanged it for the size smaller. You can't really tell from the pics but it's definitely fitting MUCH better now. Maybe still too big for /fa/ but eh so be it. Thanks /fa/

>>14221015

>>14221018
op, maybe you should try a different brand. i remember looking for a good jacket for months before finally finding a perfect one that fits right. generally you want to find something that fits you slimmer in the arms too or else you'll still look like chubby

>>14221322
Thanks for the input I'll definitely consider it. You think it's worth taking it to a local seamstress to tighten the sleeves a bit?

>>14221469
No, at that point you would have been better off just getting some selvedge jacket on sale

>>14221480
This thing is quickly becoming more effort than it's worth

>>14221614
You shouldn't have cheaped out in the first place. I personally don't like the wash, looks cheap. Then again I got hooked on raws 7 years ago and hate prewashed denim so it's all down to personal taste. Someone will always find a reason to call you a faggot.

>>14221646
I personally don't mind it. On the chubby note, they'll be able to see I'm not from my face and lack of belly so isn't it kinda a non issue?

>>14220048
>The only way it’d look bad is if you’re overweight
are you implying that you're overweight?

Not op but I have a Levis trucker that I bought in late 2016. I love it but I've also lost about 40 pounds since. I've always worn it un buttoned but I'm going to start buttoned looks along with rolling the sleeves up I guess.

How would you guys go about shrinking it?

>>14222960
I actually got a medium and the sleeves and chest area were a bit bigger than I liked. Small was too tight around the arms and chest. I threw it in the washer on the delicate cycle and then threw it in the dryer on medium heat. I kept checking in on it every half hour and it shrunk to the perfect fit.

>>14223002
You know, I've had it all this time and haven't worn it much because of how loose the arms and chest were. I also bought a medium but now I'm a small
I'm going to give that a shot. Thank you

>>14221658
Yeah, i get called skinny wearing a fucking puffer parka.

Fuck it. I traded it in for in-store credit. At least the place I got it from has a nice food section so I'm set on food for the next week. And I learned a lot from all this.
