A denim jacket is the most versatile outer layer you can own. Getting the fit right decides whether it looks classic or sloppy.
Regular fit
The Denim Vintage Washed Heavyweight Jacket is cut regular from 367 gsm cotton. The shoulder seam sits on your shoulder, and the hem ends at the waist. If you'll wear it over a hoodie, size up one.
Loose and oversized fits
The Unisex Vintage Wash Denim Jacket and Unisex Vintage Wash Full-Zip Denim Jacket have a looser body with dropped shoulders. The Vintage Wash Zip Denim Jacket is cut oversized, and the Vintage Wash Zip Up Denim Jacket is our heaviest at 543 gsm.
Six outfits
- Over a heavyweight hoodie, hood out.
- With a white boxy tee and black jeans.
- Over a crop top with wide-leg jeans.
- With sweatpants for a casual mix.
- Double denim with different washes. See our double denim guide.
- Over a soccer jersey for a blokecore twist.
The five fit checkpoints
- Shoulders: regular fits sit on the shoulder; oversized fits drop past it.
- Sleeves: end at the wrist bone. A little stacking is fine on oversized cuts.
- Chest: buttoned, it shouldn't pull across the chest.
- Length: regular jackets end at the belt. Oversized ones can reach the hip.
- Movement: raise your arms. The hem shouldn't ride up past your waist.
Buttons vs. zips
The classic trucker jacket uses buttons. Zip-front denim, like the Unisex Vintage Wash Full-Zip Denim Jacket or the Vintage Wash Zip Up Denim Jacket, has a sportier, more modern look and is easier to layer over a hoodie.
Denim vest option
For layering without sleeves, the Unisex Vintage Wash Mesh Full-Zip Vest adds a washed mesh vest over tees and hoodies.
