Denim Jacket Alternatives for Women Over 50
Short answer: We do not carry a true denim jacket right now, so we will not call any of these denim. If you want an easy layer in the same spirit, the three jackets below are our closest fits, and each says plainly what it is and who it suits.
People search for a denim jacket because they want a layer that goes over almost anything and does not fuss. None of our current jackets are made of denim. These three do the same job in other fabrics, and I have been clear about where each one falls short.
Sherpa Lined Hooded Jacket for Women: Best for Cold Days
This is a women's hooded jacket in olive or charcoal green with a cream sherpa fleece lining in the hood and body. The photos suggest a nylon or poly twill shell, so it is not denim. It has a front zipper, zippered hand pockets, a ribbed hem and a faux fur trimmed hood. The cut is boxy, oversized and hip-length. It is best for women who want warmth over sweaters and a roomy fit. Check the size chart before ordering.

This is a women's cropped bomber-style jacket in brown faux suede. It has a shirt collar, shoulder epaulettes, a concealed front zipper or placket, long wide sleeves and a gathered, bubble-style hem. It is not denim and it does not come with a belt, despite the name. The boxy, cropped shape sits above the hip, so it works over a dress or high-waisted pants. It is best for women who like a short, structured layer. Check the size chart for sleeve and length.

This is a men's cut, so it is a choice for women who like a loose, borrowed-from-the-boys fit. It is a khaki zip-up hooded jacket in thick sherpa-style fleece, with a fleece-lined hood, chest and side pockets, elastic cuffs and a small logo patch on the sleeve. It is not denim. It has the most orders and a good rating among our hooded jackets. It is best for women who want easy warmth. Use the size chart carefully, since sales are final.

See the dressHow to Choose a Jacket If You Wanted Denim
Start with what you liked about denim. If it was the structure, look at the cropped faux suede jacket with its collar and epaulettes. If it was the easy, throw-it-on feel, a hooded zip-front jacket does that well. Then think about weather. A sherpa or fleece lining adds real warmth, while a plain shell does not. Also look at length. Hip-length covers more, and cropped pairs best with higher waists and dresses.
Getting the Fit Right Before You Order
Measure your bust, shoulders and sleeve length, then compare them with the size chart on each product page. Oversized cuts leave room for sweaters, but sleeves can run long. If you are between sizes, think about what you will wear underneath. All sales are final, with no returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind, so it pays to check twice. Shipping to the US is free and takes 7 to 14 business days.
