Coated denim JEANS are definitely not something I’m very interested in trying myself (for the same reason I’d never wear leather pants: my thighs), but I do like the look in general. I appreciate that coated denim is a good & cheaper alternative to leather, but I can’t picture the coating lasting very long, unless you never washed your jeans, or dry-clean them only – although I have seen that you can re-wax them to make them last longer.
Check out some of my favorite coated denim pieces below – I am IN LOVE with both the jackets, so much so that I’m going to try and DIY the Paige denim jacket and coat the sleeves of mine since I don’t wear it as-is…

What do you think of coated denim? Have you tried it? Will you?
I just don’t think I can get past 60’s connotations, and the thought that was probably drummed into our heads when we were kids in HS: The cool kids had REAL Leather. The “other” kids had the fake stuff. I guess what I’m saying is, I’d be mutton dressed as lamb. 😉
