The Best Denim Jackets to Buy in 2022

With durability and style at its core, you simply can't go wrong with a denim jacket. Born as a workwear choice for labourers, the denim jacket saw somewhat of a resurgence during the 1950s thanks to cultural icon and actor James Dean. Ever since this point, the denim jacket has remained a staple within many of our wardrobes, offering us a multitude of wearing options as well as timeless styles.

No matter the season, the right denim jacket can come in clutch to ensure you're looking the part, so we've decided to showcase some of our current favourites, just in case you're lacking a bit of inspiration! Here at The Sole Supplier, we appreciate timeless style, so we've picked out our favourite current denim jackets to help you make your next pick.

We based our choices on three main points: style, construction and quality, to ensure you're getting only the best choices available on the market! So before you buy your next piece, make sure to check out our suggestions below!

Now before we get to the bulk of this piece, we realise some of you might be looking for inspiration on how exactly how to style your next denim jacket. So here are a few suggestions.

Arriving from everyone's favourite contemporary French fashion label, we have the A.P.C. Work Jean Jacket. Formed to a classic silhouette, this jacket comes equipped with two pockets on the exterior alongside two side pockets and a branded button closure.

The denim itself is extremely high-quality raw denim of Japanese origin, meaning it will be stiff at first but gradually form to the wearer's physique, offering a custom fit.

The jacket arrives in a lighter washed "Indigo" colour, accentuated by contrasting orange trims found across the piece. Given the colour, this jacket would pair perfectly with grey and other neutrals such as white.

Priced at £260, this jacket isn't exactly cheap but more than makes up for that with its quality construction that is guaranteed to last for years to come.

Second on the list, we have a piece courtesy of Japanese Streetwear imprint Neighborhood. The Neighborhood Lightweight Denim Jacket is a certified must-cop for anyone that appreciates Japanese fashion as well as timeless styling.

Crafted in Japan from organic cotton, this jacket boasts exceptional construction as well as form. This jacket is lighter in comparison to other pieces on the list, making it a clear-cut winner when it comes to summer styling and wear. On the front of this piece, detailing is key with two lower pockets, button closure and subtle pocket branding.

With a washed black hue on offer, this piece will pair perfectly with a range of colours, including white, brown, grey and even black if you're looking to keep things monochromatic.

Priced at £245, this piece should be on the radar for anyone specifically looking for a warmer-weather denim jacket complete with high-quality Japanese construction.

Next up is an offering from Copenhagen's own Wood Wood. Our first light wash jacket on the list, the Wood Wood Ivan Denim Jacket boasts top-notch retro styling paired with contemporary construction.

The jacket itself is made from 100% organic cotton, offering an eco-friendly solution to other production methods. Cut to a relaxed, boxy silhouette, this piece is made for those who prefer somewhat nostalgic looks.

The piece sports a "Vintage Blue" colour with a light-washed hue, ideal for pairing with lighter colours during summertime and neutrals during winter. In addition, its washed appearance gives it an aged feel and aesthetic.

For £259, you can now own your personal piece of stylish history. This one is a must-buy for anyone who's a fan of either Levi's or Beams Plus!

Celebrating its 100th year in the game is Dickies, a brand with enough experience to know exactly how to produce a solid garment. This 100th-anniversary Denim Chore Jacket showcases the brand's knack for producing exceptional pieces, all with quality bursting at the seams.

Inspired by classic Dickies jackets of the past, this piece is styled to a classic boxy workwear fit, accentuated by four pockets and elbow patches at the sleeves. Additionally, a subtle Dickies logo patch occupies the chest.
