Re: Denim Jackets & Canvas Jackets
I still have and wear the Levi's denim jacket I bought over thirty years ago in White River Junction VT.
It's a bit tight at the waist, the holes for the buttons down the front are worn out, and the collar's about to fall off, but other than that, it's awesome.

Re: Denim Jackets & Canvas Jackets
managed to get myself a decent raise, and I'm thinking about getting myself a denim jacket to celebrate. thanks to Mr Sachs, I've sorta been focused on Tellason. Any opinions one way or the other?
I've never owned a denim jacket, but the idea of it seems appealing, and it's been a while since I've bought a jacket without thinking "eh...if it gets messed up, oh well. it was cheap." I tend to prefer to not feel like I'm wearing a parachute, if that matters. In other words, relaxed fits aren't my jam.

Re: Denim Jackets & Canvas Jackets
I got a Patagonia denim jacket about 20 years ago. Granted I didn’t wear it much in the desert or in Europe, but I’ve worn it at least 70% of those 20 years.
They no longer make the style I have, but they do make a denim jacket:
Patagonia Men's Steel Forge Denim Work Jacket
I’d look for one that isn’t too much of an era. Mine is a little less trim than I’d pick now, but I can wear layers underneath. Nice for protecting a down jacket when I am cutting brush or something similar in the cold.
Congrats on the raise!

Re: Denim Jackets & Canvas Jackets
Totally depends on if it for "work" or for show. Since I no longer really "work" my favourite ones for show are:
If I was going to get a denim jacket I'd be looking at one from Ironheart. Type I II & III - Iron Heart International
For waxed canvas - I love my waxed shirt from 18 waits. They no longer make them, but have heavier options - Weekender Jacket | Dark Olive Waxed Cotton This is a shirt I actuallywork outside in, pairs well under a down vest or over a hoody.

Re: Denim Jackets & Canvas Jackets
I have a Levi’s jacket that I like a lot because it’s slim cut and fits well. I’d totally get the Tellason, but since I only get to wear a jacket 3 days a year, it would take a lifetime to break in.
