I bought a jean jacket last summer on a whim. It's a black denim classic Levi's jacket and just like the one I had in college in the 80s except I got my actual size and not a giant one--I was INTO oversized clothes in the late 80s. Not so much now. It was nice in the early fall and I imagine I'll wear it a bit this spring before it gets too warm. It's nice over a sleeveless dress, which yes, I wear even though I am probably not supposed to wear that either. Sarah Palin is the wooooooorst, and that's not the fault of the jean jacket, as your drawing clearly shows!
I, too, had a giant jean jacket when I was a teenager (in the early 90s). We seriously just wore everything two sizes too big back then, right? I'll bet you look great both in jean jackets and sleeveless dresses!
I can see your Canada showing, lol. Like the writer, I am also from San Diego, and a jean jacket being called upon to actually keep me warm on anything chillier than a spring evening was far from my first thought. A jean jacket is perfect for here! I have one from the Gap that I bought about a dozen years ago that goes so well with so many things. Although I was warned to not wear it over actual jeans lest I unwittingly find myself in what I was told was a Canadian Tuxedo. An undeserved slur on your fine country I am sure.
What a perfect answer! Also, I agree with every critique you make of the Jean jacket. Yet I love mine. I’ve had it for at least fifteen years and am counting on fifteen more.

The heart wants what it wants. ;)
Lol – apparently Canadian tuxedos are more accepted these days!
