Denim Jackets & the 40something male?

[sealion]

Triple denim on the other hand...

Super cool.

Hadn't you heard about the whole electrified lighting rig on the inflatable barge in Angoulême water park, during the ill-conceived Aquataine - Les Monstres Marins du Rock festival?

RIP Denny

He was stage sparks so he brought it on himself really. Sad though, he'd done a lot of work for Pink Floyd as well iirc.

Wear what you want...denim is always good and everyone can wear it.
Denim jackets will never be anything but fashionable....they're classic.

The only question to ask is whether to get blue or black.......

Am I the only one here who not only appreciates but also practices the double-denim-cowboy-boots-look?

I like it well enough in other people, but cowboy boots don't work for me.

 

[cybershot]

Double denim, no, no , no, no, JUST NO!

for me it's either cowboy boots or cuban heeled chelseas. depending on how i feel.
i got a few different pairs of them:

 

[klang]

they work well with Wrangler Polyesther cowboy cuts.

I think Tom Waits is about where we should be aiming.

There's a reason the picture is black and white!

 

[killer b]

Plenty of colour pics where he looks just as cool (think it's a Lee Rider jacket in this one).

 

[cybershot]

I think the main key to double denim, is that the jacket has to be a different shade to the jeans, if it's the same, well, yeah.

Ultiimatly, wear what you want, you may look a fool, but you probably arn't, I won't judge anyone on how they dress!

 

[killer b]

I always aim to get the top and bottom as close in shade as possible myself - but they have to be dark. Too washed out and you start looking like status quo.

 

[klang]

looking like status quo.

 

[nogojones]

I'd never considered it a problem, but you have me a little worried now. I have a couple of denim jackets that get worn fairly regularly just because I have them and they've not fallen apart.

I have a thing for Aldi workwear trousers as well, maybe denim jackets are the least of my problems

Sorry, but I don't think that looks cool at all.

As a 40-something male I would definitely wear a denim jacket. I also like beige cargo pants, Primark hoodies & comfy slippers. Please feel free to use me as a style icon.

thought you were more of a flares man

It's a shame you're wrong. But it takes all sorts, I guess.

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Black denim jacket with black jeans is seriously good looking....imo.

this picture is just here to illustrate killer b's point about how the denim should be a dark indigo not the washed out floppy stuff.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I think it indicates that even in dark indigo you can still look like a massive twat, tbh.

That is true.

Wear what you want to. Other people might judge, but who cares?

I personally think I'd look like a Top Gear presenter if I tried to wear a denim jacket or blue denim jeans.

I wear black jeans, T shirts, and suit jackets. It saves having to decide what to wear.

I love Kevin Rowland's costumes, but they aren't real clothes. Likewise a lot of the vintage scene tbh - I like to look at it when it's done well, and theres sometimes inspiration to be taken... but it's still fancy dress.

 

[killer b]

(That said, I reckon I could pretty much recreate that costume from my own denim chest. Might do so tonight for kicks)

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Double denim is doable. You have to be cool already. I am not cool already.

I agree with posters that darker dyes are the answer, and would add that oversizing is wise. A chore-coat might be the way to go:

I'd like to see chilango in his stonewash stood next to Magnus McGinty in The Monstrosity, just for comparative purposes.

I couldn't even pull it off in my youth!

Pun unintended.
