Full Guide To Denim Jackets And Vintage Style

 

There is no getting around the fact that vintage denim will not feel the same as fresh, new denim. The denim might even be older than you! Each vintage denim jacket will have unique wear, wash, and type of detail. Once you are comfortable with this fact then many options await you. 

Popular vintage denim jackets for men include Wrangler Denim jackets, and of course the most popular brand, the Levi vintage denim jacket. 

When deciding which jacket to buy, you must consider the wash. Common washes that really pronounce the vintage feel are faded light blue (the most common wash there is) and a jacket that has good high to lows (where the denim has faded to a lighter colour in certain areas). 

Once you know what type of wash you prefer, you can quickly narrow down the potential purchases. You need to be careful when choosing the size of a denim jacket - there will be many different measurements that you will need to take. These include; chest size, length measurement, sleeve measurement, chest measurement, and shoulder measurement. There is an abundance of vintage jackets on the market waiting for you.

The Easy Option When Purchasing Vintage Clothes

It is much easier to find exactly what you want, with clear and concise measurements when you purchase vintage clothes online. While a lot of sites only give the bare minimum in terms of information about a particular item of clothing, there are some vintage clothes retailers that will comprehensively break down each component of a specific piece. 

Look for a retailer where the origin of the item is provided, as well as all of the unique features of the piece and the type of material that was used. Some will even give a bit of background on the manufacturer. Make sure there is at least a 14-day money-back guarantee so you can return it if you are not happy for some reason.

How to Find the Right Vintage Denim Jacket for You

Buying a vintage denim jacket is really an art in itself. There are so many different variables to consider. The styles range from fur-lined Sherpa to a classic trucker style with blanket lined options available. You then have to consider size, wash, and condition. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to quality as so many of the premium brands are available in vintage. Competent retailers will highlight any defects with the product such as holes or marks. 

Size guides should be comprehensive and leave little doubt in your mind when making a purchase. You are looking for both a jacket that looks great but also one that will continue to stand the test of time. There is no point in buying an amazing jacket that will then fall to pieces after a couple of years. Plus, you will want to make sure your jacket matches your trusted pair of denim jeans. THE ICONIC is a good place to shop for women’s jeans if you’re on the lookout.

Where to Find the Best Vintage Clothes

If you are tired of the same old fashion styles that are always being reused on the high street, then perhaps now is the right time to try something new. More specifically, perhaps now is the time to go back to something from the past and search for vintage clothes online. These looks from yesteryear will ensure you stand out from the crowd. 

When seeking vintage clothes, from tops and scarves to jackets and ties, you must have the ability to sort the good from the bad. Good quality pre-owned clothing for guys is available in different places, from charity shops to markets, as well as Amazon and auction websites. Locating hidden jewels in these areas may be time-consuming and is often a job that is thankless. To make certain the vintage clothing you purchase is of the best quality, you should let another person do the work for you. 

The easiest way to do that is to search online using a reputable and recognised pro, who can locate everything, from comfy knitwear to Harris Tweed coats. They'll source the most stylish pre-owned clothes from their different sources and then list them on their website with the info you need. This may contain details on size, colour, the level of wear, as well as the source of the garment. The top websites will offer extraordinary customer service, product reviews, and money-back guarantees.

Develop Your Own Unique Style From The 1970s 

Creating your own style is simple when you understand where there are vintage clothes for sale. These garments allow you to stand out from the rest and relive a bygone era of your choice, or you can do an era mix and match to produce something truly unique.

Sourcing pre-owned vintage clothes is an excellent place to start if you would like to create your own statement style. Hunting through various articles of vintage clothing can allow you to select the age and fashion that most suits you. If you would like to relive the golden age of disco, the 1970s is the era to consider. But, the '70s were not just about the sharp suits and broad collared flowery shirts. It was also the age when leather and denim came into their own, with flight jackets and biker jackets becoming fashion statements as well as protective clothing. Naturally, the hippy movement was still going strong, although shortly to be overtaken by punk. This resulted in a fascinating mixture of appearances as flower power and tie-dye met ripped t-shirts and safety pins. The 1970s was not just about clothing for younger men or teenagers. The established family man, who'd experienced a loosening of fashion rules in the '60s, also delved into creating their very own style. Knitted jumpers, sports jackets, and zipped cardigans all made an appearance in this decade.

Buying A T-Shirt For Your Jacket And Jeans 

Buying t-shirts online is the perfect way for you to get value for money. But before you part with your hard-earned wages, it’s important that you know what you are buying. Check that your choice of t-shirt is the right colour, shape, and style for you and suited to its intended purpose.

There is little that is more disheartening than receiving your designer clothing and accessories delivery, only to find that your items don’t fit. It is important to purchase from a reputable website that includes a measuring and size guide within its pages. That way, you can be sure of your measurements and that a ‘small’, for instance, really is the right size for you. The next thing to check is that you are purchasing the right t-shirt style for your body type and build. A traditional fit will give you more room than a slim, or extra slim-fit t-shirt. A slim-fit t-shirt will also highlight any lump, bump, or imperfection, so only buy one if you are confident in your body shape. 

If you are buying your t-shirt for work then consider how the style will be met in the workplace. The safest type for the workplace is the polo shirt, which meets the need for a collar, but has all the comfort of a t-shirt. Multi-colored t-shirts with patterns or prints are great for the weekend with jeans, but may look a little too casual for the workplace. Plain should be your preferred choice for the working week.

What About Blouses And Shirts?

If you are looking for a blouse or a shirt, whether for the workplace or for a formal event, you will need to choose with care as well. Shirts with denim are great when you want to achieve that sleek and stylish look without coming across as too formal.

Remember if you are choosing a shirt for a formal occasion, you can’t go wrong by sticking with the traditional white shirt. As well as the shirt itself, don’t forget to check the delivery and returns policies of the site. Nevertheless, with a white shirt, you can be certain that it will go a treat with denim. There is something crisp and clean about a white shirt pair with skinny fit denim jeans. 

Of course, if you are someone who is a bit more experimental with your style, then, by all means, go for it. A lot of women are also experimenting with collar necklaces and different pieces of bling that take their shirts to new heights of style. The options are extensive online today.

To conclude, we hope that this guide has given you all of the information you need to know about denim and investing in vintage clothing. There is no getting away from the fact that this is a very exciting part of the fashion market to delve into if you are someone who loves clothing. This is the best way to make sure that you5r style is unique and stands out from the crowd.
