For as long as I can remember (even though my mother forbade us to wear one as they were what “Hoods” wore) I have called the above garment, a jeans jacket.
Over here in UK we call them 'denim jackets'. I feel that 'jeans jacket' is much better than 'jean jacket', though - so I'm with you on this one, Mary!
Rebecca, that's so interesting..."denim jackets." Now, since we have an international perspective here everyone, I think that "Jeans Jacket" is the clear winner. ha/ha No winners or losers really-everyone here knows I just love to know what people think and feel.
Just to share a funny story. A few years ago I was looking for one, I've always liked it but struggled to find "the one" because this is a very important clothing item to have when you're in your 20s, at least where I'm from. So I went to many stores, when I finally found it, I bought it and called a friend to tell her, about it, she was excited for me and she came to visit to see it, that should have been my clue, why visit to see a jacket right? I took it out she was shocked, she had a look on her face and she finally said "wow I thought you said you found a ginger cat". I guess I was too excited on the phone it sounded like I said ginger cat instead of jean jacket, so now I call it ginger cat for laughs, inside jokes.
Okay, now you have to start a line of "jean jackets" and call them Ginger Cats. That is such a great story! And yes, it IS a very important clothing item, isn't it?! I have two, I gave away my favorite to someone and she loves it so much. (long story) Now, I am looking for "the one" and a Ginger Cat could be it!

It’s so interesting to get different perspectives on things, isn’t it? We’re all so different!
I have always referred to it as a jean jacket. I don’t think I have ever heard it referred to as jeans jacket? BTW, I love my jean jackets. 🦋
Yes! Having more than one is so important. You've got your dark wash, light wash, I mean, the list could go on and on!
Exactly! 😎
I vote jean jacket.
The Jean Jacket people are winning. I hold steady at "jeans jacket."
I vote jeans jacket
I knew I could count on you!! Yes! And you know my mother would NEVER let me wear one. Sigh...I miss her.
I miss my mother who was whole. I hated what Alzheimer’s did to her.
I thought you had a, uh, denim jacket in Frankfurt.
Yes, Alzheimer's robs...it steals. I loved hearing our mothers laugh together.
No-no denim jackets for the McKnight girls. I wanted one soooooo badly.
I’m assuming you got one in college? Once you were away from home?
You know I did! I have two now and I am on the hunt for another.
This made me laugh. Anyway it is a jean jacket (jean jackets for plural). And for context I am 32 lol.

Well, this dates me because I've always called it a jeans jacket. Didn't even know there was an alternative!
Okay, so perhaps it is a generational thing. Hmmm...an anthropological study perhaps? hee/hee
Jean jacket is my recollection. Lisa said she called it a Jean jacket.
TheJean Jacketers are winning.
Two for “Jean” - both of near your age
Okay, I hear you. I don't think I can change! But you call denim pants, jeans, yes?
Yes. 🤷♀️
Hey, I was just glad you didn't call them dungarees. ha/ha
Yes! Where did they go? Did I leave them at some bar? Did I just think they were mine but had borrowed it from a boyfriend of yore?
Karen, yes that sounds like the way through, but what if it's made with linen? Oh, then is it a Jeans jacket? Hmmmmm...
So really they should be called, "De Nimes jacket." ha/ha
