Teen Boys' Denim Jackets
A teenage boy denim jacket is the layer he reaches for between coat weather and T-shirt weather. The denim jackets here are for boys aged 8 to 15, to wear over a T-shirt, a hoodie or a school jumper. Denim is a sturdy woven twill, so it copes with bike rides and weekend football, and it softens a little with each wash.
Jackets are sized by height in centimetres. As a guide, a boys' denim jacket for age 9 is usually 140 cm, and for age 10 it is 146 cm. If he wears a thick hoodie underneath, or you want it to last another year, go one size up. Some shoppers call these jean jackets, and it is the same garment. Wash inside out with similar colours, as dark denim can shed dye in the first few washes.
