But, if it was never fashionable in the first place, why bring it back. Keep it old. Still have not seen someone in a jean jacket for over 20 years. Where do they wear these? Who wears them? Inquiring minds need to know.

James it seems to us what you’re saying is let the jean jacket die. Well you know what they say everything old is new again.

My darling friend, Joan, writes: “I read all of your posts Judy. You are sooooo talented!! Not being “in the know”, what is the difference between a “boyfriend” jacket and a “girlfriend” jacket? After reading your article, I looked up what a “boyfriend” jacket is on Bloomingdales and they also showed a “girlfriend” jacket. Ei Yi Yi. How do I tell what is what?”
Great question, because there IS such a thing as the ‘Girlfriend’ Jacket now, too. It’s typically shorter in length, more fitted through the waist and frequently has 3/4 length sleeves. Some even have permanently rolled up sleeves lined in a contrast color or pattern such as a stripe. (See ShopBop.com’s Girlfriend jacket)
The boyfriend jacket is more relaxed; usually longer through the torso; padded at the shoulders and, in the traditional sense, made to look like you borrowed your boyfriend’s suit jacket and threw it on over your t-shirt and jeans to make it your own.

I find it difficult to understand the fashion of the jean jacket. I never see anyone wear one. I thought this ill fated fashion was buried. Now, someone is trying to resurrect it? Let it pass….

I enjoy reading the brilliance of Judy Crowell. I do not agree with Point 3 (Denim), but I think you realize by now my adverse objection to the jean jacket and denim in general. Let the jean jacket go.
Like your analogy in point 2 (Dresses) related to “Mad Men.” Very contemporary.
You make exqusite determinations and provide a fashionable frame of reference. Keep it cool for Fall, but stay out of Denim.

Seriously? To me the jean jacket is part of Americana. You can wear it like a farmer if thats your style, but the fun of it is that you can wear a faded jean jacket over a sparkly top and look adorable. I recently saw Cheryl Crow in concert and she had the cutest sundress and chunky high heels (high fashion) and a jean jacket over top..and she looked “cool”
I have gotten some real nice compliments when I wear my jean jacket…and I wear mine with pearls!! LOL

Everyone has their own sense of what they consider fashionable. I have simply never thought denim in any form was stylish. I respect the opinions of Joyce and Shawn and feel both make salient points in defending their appreciation for jean jackets. I just never thought of them as fashionable.
I am not sure if I have ever seen a man wearing a jean jacket. Jean jackets for men may have gone out with the leisure suit. Two ill-fated attempts at fashion. Why attempt to resurrect something that never worked in its’ original incarnation. If I can think of a worse look than a jean jacket, I will share it in this forum. Right now, I just can’t think of anything that is less stylish than jean jackets.

James I disagree with you and agree with Joyce 100%. Jean jackets have always been in style and I think always will be. I happen to have a jean jacket myself and wear it in the fall when it starts cooling down. James I also disagree with you when you said there is nothing attractive or fashionable about women in Jean jackets. Judy Crowell owns one and she looks very good in it. If a Jean jacket can look good on someone like Judy then it can also look good on a man. These things just arn’t for women anymore. At least I don’t think so.
