Old Navy makes some of the best jeans around (see here for evidence). That’s why we’re not surprised to see their Classic Non-Stretch Denim Jacket on our list. Just note that this jacket is made from a dark wash colored denim that’s 100% cotton, so when they say “non-stretch,” they really mean it.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Something we love about Old Navy is their commitment to price equality and style for women everywhere. This jacket is a part of their BodEquality movement, which makes all styles and sizes available at the same price for everyone.

USER REVIEW
“Finally, a jacket that fits well and has sleeves that accommodate my log arms. The length is also perfect, and the fabric is weighty but not hard like some denims are. I didn't wear denim for a long time because I found it to be harsh against my skin, but this jacket arrived already feeling comfortable.”
