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.

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.

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:

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!

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.

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.
