Denim Jackets are very much back on trend. Since the days of Levis twisted seamed collection, denim jackets have lost there popularity. The jackets are very hard to pull off, there is nothing worse than looking like a 50 year old drunk from down at your local 70s styled social club, therefore we best advise going for the dark denim jacket on lighter blue jeans. We therefore have been looking for the ultimate jacket so we don't slip into the drunken beer stained look. Whittling it down to 4 each from popular denim brands around the same price bracket. We would recommend any of the above however thumbs up went to the Edwin Selvedge jacket. We have long been a fan of Edwin. A brand that really understands good quality raw denim. Made on old shuttle looms, the cotton is woven on one continuous weft, As the weft loops back into the edge of the denim it creates this “self-edge” or Selvage. Selvage is desirable because the edge can’t fray like lower grade denims that have separate wefts which leave an open edge that must be stitched. However what really sells this jacket is the fit, its a little slimmer fit and the length is more flattering to the shape and just reaches the bottom of the waistband of the jeans. This we believe is the desired length as denim is so hard it is annoying if cuts of any higher, it makes you want to pull it down lower but wont go anywhere. If you too want to pick up ou choice Edwin Red Selvedge Jacket or any of the others, go to Asos.com to see a wide range.
