I actually disagree with the dark wash jacket being less versatile. I’ve always thought the dark wash trucker was more versatile than the light wash because you can dress it down or dress it up.. you cannot dress up a light wash trucker jack as light wash inherently looks casual. Dark wash truckers look great with any pants except for dark wash jeans, wear it instead of a sports jacket, layer it under an overcoat for colder temps… lots you can do with it! I’m a fan haha.
I've been wearing a Levi's well worn denim jacket layered with a black leather jacket over it for 30 winters and for 30 winters I've received compliments on the look. That denim and leather combo just works, looks tuff just flat rocks. Thank me later.
@@timothyslaughter476 Yeah. They were nasty. The fashion companies have seemingly finally made men’s fashion like women’s fashion. Flimsy, shapeless and completely new every season.
I live on the west coast of Ireland and I wear a denim jacket regularly. Because our average temperature is lower there’s plenty of dry days where a jacket is still required over the summer months.
My first Levi came to me when I was in High School. I was popular enough and I had my grand mother remove the denim 'V' just below each pocket and install some nice, dark leather. She did the same thing for my collar and sleeve cuffs. I drew a cool Harley scene on the back and drew my nick name on the waist band and I got numerous chicks to embroider what I drew. This was in the 70's and it was cool. I have the jacket put away even..Back in the 70's the chicks were screaming hot with their long, fragrant hair, light make up, nice fitting jeans with colorful wide leather belts and of course a dainty top but most of all they didn't constantly have a phone in their faces and definitely no tattoos...
Excellent video, Ashley. You have great ideas. I love my dark blue Wrangler jacket. I bought a medium because it fit better. I usually wear a large. Works great with a black sweater in winter.
Cool photo of the Denium Jacket with a Pea Coat. In terms of something functional you can layer up you solved a ton of problems guys have. And it also helps ditch the hiking jackets all of us guys have and look better.
The Sherpa lined denim jackets are cool looking for a cooler weather… But I still think the Lee storm Rider jacket, is probably the best one out there… The lining is cotton, acrylic, well sometimes… And polyester… Not sure if they ever made one that was 100% wool but I don’t think so… Regardless, it’s a great looking jacket because it has a corduroy color and those slanted pockets are so subtlety chic.. Ralph Lauren makes a modern version of it as well… And the corduroy trucker jacket is also really cool… My favorite is the Ralph Lauren corduroy jacket that is slightly worn down and faded… But the price is pretty ridiculous. But you pay what you get for.🙃 another great option is the waxed denim trucker jacket… Very cool, unique, looking… Just like the waxed cotton. Motorcycle jackets… Very classic style in a modern way.
Absolutely denim on denim is very cool a.k.a., the Canadian tuxedo… I have a dark denim shirt with dark denim jeans that are just slightly different… And you can do the same with a jacket… Black on blue or blue on black…
I usually wear medium but I recently bought a Levi denim Jack if that has spandex in it it's a small it's great and I pair it under a weathered brown leather jacket with a scarf I get lots of compliments if I wear that combo
Fine video with a lot of information! I have just purchased a shearling denim jacket in a mid gray hue, with black shearling. Very cool and pretty exclusive. It's more limited in trousers color options, but a perfect cool weather garment. Now I need a lighter jacket in a mid blue hue.
I have a denim jacket i use for motorcycle riding. (A real motorcycle jacket with padding) Looks good on retro bikes and cruisers. With a hoodie it looks good with a sportbike if you suport the squid outfit. Pairing it with a solid colored helmet with neutral colors like black, white or gray is nice. Open face helmets look good though i dont like open faced helmets.
Great advice Ashley! Denim jackets have been around a lot longer than truckers! :D Always make sure it doesn’t match the jeans. Also avoid crazy belts with giant buckles. A simple leather or web belt with a non descript buckle is the way to go. A plain coloured, zip front hoodie and a complimentary sailor stripe tee or plain henley is the go to for underlayers. (Watch the fit though, underlayers require sizing up.) Keep those vids coming! Luv ya, girl!
And yes, I am on the shorter side with the muscular build… Like a gymnast… So it’s harder for me to find the right size because the sleeves are always too long… And of course it’s the jackets that I really like… In the lighter, crisper, and softer quality denim… The standard heavyweight denim is no good… Denim jackets should mold to your body, creases, and wrinkles that happen overtime at what denim-heads love. And it’s really hard to beat the vintage Lee rider jacket that looks like it’s been washed 1000 times and more in the every heavy-metal/hippie or hipster concert in the history of mankind. The natural frayed edges and soft deteriorating denim is just so damn Kool!!! Great video 😃thanks so much ✌🏼
Not to be rude, but I feel like this video is a little bit ignorant regarding waterproofness. I haven't seen any that come like this by default, but denim can be impregnated with wax to make it highly water resistant, It just takes an afternoon to apply it.
For shorter but built dudes, you can size down but go with the stretchier denim. I'm 5'4 and buff I normally wear L-XL but my denim's medium tried large but it was going near my crotch and the sleeves went past my hands 🤣. For your first denim, or anything go and try it out in person first never purchase online (if it's your first purchase)
Can you make a style video for skinny and/or short guys? Not always ripped 6' 3" Ryan Reynolds? A form fitting T-shirt makes me feel like a skinny little twerp because I don't have 30" biceps.
Loved your video, but why did you not discuss the black color trucker jacket. I was hoping that you could give some suggestions and ideas regarding the black trucker. Next time you put out a video, please include the black trucker jacket or if you don’t like black trucker jackets, comment on why not to wear them. Thanks for your consideration to this request 🙏🏽!
My first denim jacket was true religion darker blue. Got it for 60 when it was regular 250. Love true religion. I dont think i would wear any other kind of denim jacket again. Cuz its just so comfy and is perfect for every season besides summer
I would disagree with immediately washing raw denim unless it's unsanforized. If you're buying raw denim, most people prefer to naturally fading it by wearing through the stiffness. But that's opening up a whole complicated subject in itself. Good tips though.
yo i got just some grey t shirts and some jeans and a belt i dont got any jeans that fit and i have to wear the belt to hold them up but it looks weird when i tuck my shirt in i dont have anything to cover it should i just not tuck it in?
Pop or not pop the collar? Watching your videos have help me alot anf I have subscribed to your channel. I also encourage my friends to take your advice. But it seems like things are getting redundant. My main reason for watching this video was the image. Ryan Reynolds has his collar popped up and the title reads "Just Don't Do This". I own many shades, waxed for colder temp and types 1/2/3 truckers. Sometimes I want to pop the collar up to feel even more "badass" Your video has many images of men wearing with collar up but your image title suggests not to or is it referring not to wear a v-neck with a trucker. Please explain. Keep up the great work! Maybe offer style tips for intermediate "level" style guy or offer tips on how to wear vest with denim or how to style hats. Or do you not recommend vests. Also I love watching video on your critique of other stylists outfits. Thank you for making me more stylish !
Can one wear it with a shalwar qameez, the traditional dress of the people from Afghanistan, the Pathans 🤷♂️ Will be grateful if you guided me 😊 And which color? We are not very modern, kinda conservative people 😉
I disagree with lack of Intenational distressing and lack of print. I have got off White „temperature” denim jacket and got so many complements for this jacket that you would not even imagine - and it has a little distress and print all over it
Test your new jacket with a cheap white tee. Nothing worse than destroying your expensive stuff with a blue dye blotch. I have had expensive denim jackets rub when out for a long walk putting a blue stain where I sweat. Same with affordable ones. The white tee test works for colour fastness testing. If possible, get prewashed. If it runs or rubs, at least you have a new rag to wash your car with!
Actually I have one I have one of those that jackets as fur on the inside of it the lining of it smell fur so it keeps you warm they're in a cold months pretty helpful actually if you live like somewhere I am I live in the south you don't know though does get hot during the winter that she gets relatively cold so trust me a lot of the things I do wear are heavier also because they last longer so yeah bye
I'd say no to light wash denim anything all together. The same goes for distressed/patched anything. Also sheer denim jackets are a no for me. I've opted for a light brown classic s version myself

Same. I always buy dark indigo jackets. Light wash was an 80s fashion blip.
dark wash also give room to fade to your taste.
Light well faded and stone washed colors are so cliche. I only wear Dark wash or Rinse dark blue denims
Didn’t expect a Cliff Burton appearance! Love it.
I've been wearing a Levi's well worn denim jacket layered with a black leather jacket over it for 30 winters and for 30 winters I've received compliments on the look. That denim and leather combo just works, looks tuff just flat rocks. Thank me later.
Facts
This is some normie shit that shoukd be ignored save a few tid bits
Same. With a full zip hoodie replacing the denim in colder weather.
@Dreyno I'm ok as long as the hoodie isn't sewn in as part of the jacket. No can do..lol! Remember the suit jackethoodie thing??? Nah!!
@@timothyslaughter476 Yeah. They were nasty. The fashion companies have seemingly finally made men’s fashion like women’s fashion. Flimsy, shapeless and completely new every season.
dude, i have been watching your videos for quite a while and let me tell you, I get to dress a bit more stylish thanks to you.
I live on the west coast of Ireland and I wear a denim jacket regularly. Because our average temperature is lower there’s plenty of dry days where a jacket is still required over the summer months.
For those rainy days in Helms Deep, look for a tough and corrosion resistant material like stainless steel.
Got my first denim jacket 2 days ago, Thank God it fit with all of the criterias mentioned by you... Thank you! 😊
Great job!

That LOTR reference came out of nowhere and I loved it!!!
Living in Ireland and wearing mine regularly. Just need to carry an umbrella everywhere 😀. Great vid, thanks.
Cliff Burton with the dark denim at 00:49, well done!
Great video. I have medium and dark wash denim jackets and the ideas in this video will greatly help. And it was released on my birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!
@@MensFashioner Thank you!

Contrast between jacket and pants is a big one for me. Great tips and I learned something new.
Cowboy boots work great with trucker jackets and Jean's. Retired we created that style before you were born...love your video's.
Imagine having a professional providing you guidance on how to dress……. Oh wait, we do. Thank you 🙏🏽😊
haha, you're welcome!
We’re never above getting some insight. The man who considers himself wise is a fool.

This is definitely the best video from you after watching for years!!! You really killed it!!! ......all aspects covered!!!.....

James Dean (the photo next to Beckham) is wearing a Harrington jacket, not a trucker jacket.
Bought a Levi's classic one after years of bomber for light winter season and watch your video :)
best timeless piece of clothing.
Great video. I still appreciate how you address all body types.
Fine video with a lot of information! I have just purchased a shearling denim jacket in a mid gray hue, with black shearling. Very cool and pretty exclusive. It's more limited in trousers color options, but a perfect cool weather garment. Now I need a lighter jacket in a mid blue hue.
What type of jeans/chinos/trousers and what color of it matches with off white denim trucker jacket?
I have a blue one and struggle with what to pair it with. I'd love a gray one.
I have a denim jacket i use for motorcycle riding. (A real motorcycle jacket with padding) Looks good on retro bikes and cruisers. With a hoodie it looks good with a sportbike if you suport the squid outfit.

I wish watch this before buying. I got a bark blue denim jacket I would of bought the light wash for my first denim
This is great, thank you. Curious to know why you wouldn't recommend pre-distressed denim jackets
Not to be rude, but I feel like this video is a little bit ignorant regarding waterproofness. I haven't seen any that come like this by default, but denim can be impregnated with wax to make it highly water resistant, It just takes an afternoon to apply it.

Take it up another level with a outback or Bailey hat!!!

theyre on sale right now at levis, got 2 jackets for $80
Got me with helms deep. Subscribed.

At 2:17…Texas as wet? No. Helms Deep? Definitely. 🤣
Can you wear this in the fall?
My next jacket is going to be a trucker jacket. Thank you Ashley!
Should you get white denim jacket?
I was taking her advise but after she started naming rainy places and included Texas instead of Seattle Washington I began to question her opinions
This is such a well layed out video. Terrific information, Ashley is as charming as ever. Watching this literally made me wanna go out and get one!
yo i got just some grey t shirts and some jeans and a belt i dont got any jeans that fit and i have to wear the belt to hold them up but it looks weird when i tuck my shirt in i dont have anything to cover it should i just not tuck it in?
Lord of the ring reference. Loved it
Collar up! Always!
5:40 Do not do this with raw denim. Ever. Hand wash it in the tub using cold water. The washing machine will just ruin the jacket otherwise
I washed my momotaro's inside out in a machine. came out wonderful. air dry. I'm going to wash my iron hearts 25s too 😬
Awesome video Ashley!! I just buy my first one 2 days ago.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean others will not.
🤣🤣. Thanks for mentioning the 2 rules!
“Just don’t sleep in it.”
How ‘bout you let me live my life, Ashley!!
You forgot brown trucker jacket. which can be a good outfit
Guess it ain't gonna be part of my holiday outfit at Helm's Deep... :(
What about an off white trucker jacket?
Why does the trucker jacket have to look like you got it 2 sizes too small

And which color? We are not very modern, kinda conservative people 😉
Great flick
Very good and Information video - Thank you 😃
What about Chelsea boots? Yay or nay?
Helm’s Deep 😂😂 I died
I disagree with lack of Intenational distressing and lack of print. I have got off White „temperature” denim jacket and got so many complements for this jacket that you would not even imagine - and it has a little distress and print all over it
Also my girlfriend loves it and want to wear it all The time instead of my regular denims
Oh nice a Helm's Deep reference lol you really do know your audience who needs help getting dressed!
All im missing now is shoes,.none of mine pairs well with denim attires..well except for my formal shoe

Hey, have questions,are you from Ukraine 😎
You need to wear in your selvedge jacket or jeans before washing.
Choose Japanese denim
The next time I go to Helm's Deep I will absolutely wear my denim jacket.
Never thought I’d ever see Cliff Burton in any of her videos 😂
Matching jacket and jeans is called a Canadian Tuxedo
Thank you!
