Denim Jacket

I was looking at Alex's Facebook page the other day where she was wearing her new J Crew denim jacket so I thought it was about time I had another stab at the whole denim jacket thing. What you might or might not know about me is I don't really do denim jackets. Funny coming from someone who wears jeans 90% of the time. I like them on other people but just not me. I feel kind of "butch" in them. Funny because I don't think anyone else looks butch in theirs. Just me :o(

Anyway, I pulled out my ten year old Antoni & Alison denim jacket, dusted it off and shrugged it on. It wasn't that great ... but it wasn't resoundingly bad.

I do actually know why I don't like mine - it's a very stiff denim and it's too neat and tidy. I want it to be nicely "aged" and "distressed but unfortunately it's not. Ten years ago, we weren't so in to the "pre-aged" and "pre-distressed" pieces like we are now and this jacket will never be like that because I've never given it any love to wear it in and soften it up. It's one of those chicken and egg things - it feels stiff, I don't want to wear it, it stays stiff so I still don't want to wear it. And repeat.
However to give it it's dues, I don't mind it worn like this!

Comfy and bum covering.
I think I'll keep it a bit longer ... I'm sure that it won't be long until the perfect denim jacket turns up which I'll want to wear and doesn't make me look butch.

Last Note :

• I actually wrote this post late on Monday night and went to bed before posting it. I have since procured another denim jacket which I think might just work on me. If you see it soon, then it is :o)

• Do you have a favourite denim jacket? What do you think about them?
