Borge Lined Denim Jacket from Oasis

Denimjacket

Denim has come a long way from its beginning as workwear in the early fifties. While each decade has had its own take on the fabric, none have made quite the same impression as the 1970s' interpretation. This Borge Lined Denim Jacket from Oasis taps into that seventies style to create a jacket that's timeless.

The classic menswear-style jacket gets a boost of retro style thanks to an imitation fur collar, creating a mainstream seventies style that lends from Southern American style. The fitted body and slim sleeves add femininity, while the slight stonewash keeps it classic.
