A Poll

Me - Hand me my jacket, please.

Him - Here's your Canadian tuxedo, dear.

Me - That's the second time you've mocked my jean jacket, is there something wrong with it?

Him - Not at all, if this were 1980.

Me - What? Its not like its Bedazzled or has 'AC/DC Rules' on the back or anything!

Him - Hey, we have multicolored Sharpies. Do you want me to draw 'AC/DC Rules' on the back? Cause that wouldn't make it any less or more cool.

Me - Seriously? Tons of people in Winnipeg wear jean jackets, its a perfect weight for spring and fall days. And, I just got this one like 3 years ago.

Him - I'm just telling you its lame, is all.

After that I kept looking at everyone who I saw and I noticed that, indeed, nobody here wears a jean jacket. So, my question to you is: are jean jackets totally loser-ish? Should I move on?

I have a jean jacket with Led Zeppelin on the back.

However, I don't wear it in public.

Don't listen to him.

I have a jean jacket from www.NormThompson.com that I love.

And yes, they are perfect for certain weather.

Boys are dumb. :)

Some jean jackets are okay, it depends. Hopefully, yours is not stonewashed in any way.

I recommend wearing jean jackets WITHOUT jeans. I find the jean-on-jean look is a bit much. I always liked it when a girl has a jean jacket and some cute skirt.

I no longer have a jean jacket. But Bubba does! Cause Pap Pap has one and he wanted to be like him. Wear what you want, I say.

I guess the folks from the fashion capitals of Ohio and Montana have spoken. ;)

Hush up, sheep. I learned a LOT when I was in NYC, and now I miss it because I can't dress as "stylishly" (read: funky) as I did before. Nor can I find as many interesting/unique clothing and jewelery items either. I'd even kill for a Filene's Basement in Montana!

Like I said, depends on the jacket and how you wear it.

I figure, if you're cold, wear it.

All right, I will continue to wear my lovely jean jacket...particularly with my black cargo pants which I think is a lovely look.

Thank you for your attention in this matter!

As I recall this is from a man who once wore a fishing type hat with a hawaaian jacket????

I absolutely live in my jean jacket. It looks fantastic with anythign except jeans. As long as it is a classic cut and fits you well keep wearing it. They only get better and better the longer you wear them

I thought so!!!

PS I am in Boston right now and have been looking for a jean jacket here as well. Haven't seen one yet but I think that is because 4 celsius is considered quite cold here. Rye and I are both wearing light spring jackets but everyone else is wearing quite heavy ones.
