Every single week I’m surprised by the number of people who ask me about two things: 1) my denim jacket and 2) the cross body strap I have on my Louis Vuitton bag.
I’ve had this denim jacket in the “sweet” wash for almost 6 years now (named it a MUST HAVE wayyyyyy back then), and I’ve had my bag strap for almost 2 years. Since they’ve both been around for SO LONG and have appeared in soooooo many pictures, I’m surprised when people continue to have questions about them, but they definitely still do! (FYI: I’m SO EXCITED to remind y’all that at the end of this month, I’m going to have some cross body strap options for y’all! Get ready! They’re good!)
What is even more surprising to me is that some of you, even those that have followed me since the beginning, still haven’t taken the plunge on my MUST HAVE DENIM JACKET.
Ladies. Have we not built up a trust over the last 6 years?
Please consider this post a love letter to the jacket AND a letter pleading with you to just get the dang thing already. #letmetellyouto #please #forthelove
Today we are taking a walk down memory lane with my first jacket…and we are going to talk about the new KUT denim jackets I added to my closet this year (as part of my KUT Brand Ambassadorship). I have no idea why in the world it took me so long to try other colors. The only thing I can figure out is that I loved my first one SO MUCH, I didn’t feel like I needed other colors. Well, I was wrong. #blessmyheart
We are going to start by talking about my much beloved 1st KUT denim jacket. The one named a MUST HAVE 6 years ago, and the one that continues to be my favorite. The one that I still wear multiple times a week. The one that’s been washed hundreds of times. The one that’s been taken to countless dinners and movies. The one that I’ve shoved in a purse so many times “just in case” I need it.
Y’all know the one.
I have a deep and abiding love for it.
And I have the pictures to prove it.
For size reference, my jacket is a medium. I often size up to a medium in jackets, so I do think the jacket is true to size.
For those of you that are skeptical on how versatile it can be and/or don’t think there would be that many ways to style it…
I present to you Exhibits A-W.
Seriously, A-W. I mean, it’s a wonder it took me this long to become a Kut from the Kloth brand ambassador. I’ve been preparing for 6 years! Ha!
And that’s just some of them y’all.
Here are some more….
And that’s just the tippity top of the iceberg, y’all.
I had to include this collage too, because this dress is 20% OFF right now! It has 2,800 reviews, and almost all of them are 5 STAR!
The fabric is soft and comfortable, and the draping and ruched sides make it very flattering. I personally won’t wear this dress without a denim jacket (or maybe a military jacket!), because it is body conscious.
I went with a medium in this dress, and I’m glad I did. I often times have to size up in dresses (to accommodate my rib cage and boobs), so a medium in a dress is actually true to size for me for dresses. (Many reviewers are saying they sized up.)
I’m wearing a medium in the jacket and the wedges are true to size and oh so comfy. It comes in 8 colors, so there is something for everybody!

Here’s a new flat lay pairing the jacket with a darling pair of blush boyfriend jeans, pink earrings, and a pink and red cross body bag. The pinks aren’t matchy matchy, and I happen to like that they are varying degrees of pink. And the shoes, y’all! Did you see my Walmart post from Monday? Because the shoes are from Walmart, ladies!
If ordering the jeans, I think they run quite small, so I would definitely size up.

Back in September I added this dark wash denim jacket to my closet.
Here I am wearing it when headed to L.A. for the Gibson Glam shoot! These jackets are perfect for travel because they are stretchy and comfortable!

And then when I started the brand ambassadorship, they sent me this medium wash to try. And I of course loved it too.

Before you go today, I’ve got a bonus item for you!
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned a leopard tote that I got from Amazon. I hadn’t shown it to you yet (the first one I showed you sold out immediately and never restocked) because it’s been out of stock since that first mention, but now it’s available! And y’all it’s crazy good.
I do highly recommend adding the x-large insert/organizer to your order because the tote doesn’t have much structure, but this tote is an incredible value at $25.98! I love how the ties on the side can be cinched in just a bit. It has one magnetic snap closure, faux leather handles and ties, and 4 brass feet. It’s really big and can hold ALL THE THINGS.

I took it to the ranch several weeks ago, and I thought it was worthy of a glamour shot.

It also went with me on errands.
hooded tunic tee / resin earrings (red floral) / old jeans / ribbon tie sneakers / leopard tote
And to Carter’s soccer game last weekend where it was FREEZING. It was 80 the day before!
hat / v neck sweatshirt / leopard tote (everything else is old)
See you back here tomorrow! I’m talking accessories, and it’s gonna be good! I found a little something that can add a whole lot of personality to your outfits, and it’s under $13!
ajayhawksgirl says
Will you please tell us about the LV bag strap too? 🙂
Sheaffer says
It’s been sold out for 2 years. 🙁 It was Chelse28 from Nordstrom. But I will have some options for you at the end of this month!
Shay Shull says
I hate to play favorites…but that denim jacket is probably the BEST thing you ever told me to buy!
Sheaffer says
Right? And you were THE FIRST one to buy it! Don’t you remember me calling you from the mall to tell you about it?!? Hahahaha!!!!
Mary says
Is your favorite one sold out?
Sheaffer says
Hey, Mary! No, it’s not!!!!! When the post first went live this morning, the link was wrong. The link had been changed, but I’ve now fixed it! Sadly, everybody reading via e-mail will have an incorrect link because I didn’t catch the error until after the e-mails had been sent out. I’ve fixed it now, so you can get to the jacket through any of the must have denim jacket links in the post now! So sorry! xoxo
Lori says
I agree with Shay. I have bought many many many things from you throughout the years, but this jacket has to be my absolute favorite!
Erika Slaughter says
While I enjoyed A-W, I really could have looked at a ton more pictures of how to style that jacket. It goes with EVERYTHING!!
Kara says
What is the color name for the light jacket ? Is it “sweet”? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Yes! It’s called “sweet”! xoxo
Narci says
I just adore this jacket! So glad I listened to you all those years ago!
Amanda Dorich says
Hi! Can you share the link to the black skirt with the white embroidery on the bottom if its still available? Thank you!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Amanda! It was from LOFT last year, and it’s been sold out since last summer. So sorry! 🙁
Amanda says
I finally decide to jump off the fence after all these years, and it’s sold out. Serves me right.
Sheaffer says
Amanda, I have great news! The jacket is NOT sold out! When the post went live this morning, it was to a wrong link. Nordstrom ended up combining several colors of the jacket into one link, and I’ve now fixed the link! If you refresh your post, you will get a link that is now working to a jacket that is not sold out!!! The wash is called “sweet”! YAY!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Diana says
Well happy anniversary to us! I’ve been following you for 6 years and the denim jacket is the first thing I bought! I wore out the elbows in the first light wash jacket and now I am on my second! I bought the medium wash last fall. They’re both terrific!! I’m a teacher and I wear them to school instead of a cardigan sweater; the jacket is that comfortable !
Allison A. says
I am crossing my fingers they restock that leopard tote. I missed it again! It’s really cute, great size and great price.
Sheaffer says
You are KIDDING! I am sooooooooooo sad. I will definitely let y’all know if it gets restocked. 🙁 xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Juli says
Ok Sheaffer…do you have any pull with Kut now that you are an ambassador? They need to keep petite jeans in the rotation! They are the only jeans short enough for my SHORT legs!! It is such a bummer when petites don’t get any love. I would love those button front ones but know they will be too long.
Sheaffer says
Hey, Juli! They will read these comments!!!!!! YES! Please more petites! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Susan says
Can you ask them to carry TALL sizing too for those of us with long legs?? Alterations won’t help us. ☹️☹️
Sheaffer says
Hey, Susan! Yes, I will!!!!!! xoxo
Lori says
Free alterations at Nordstrom! I use them all the time and they will make the hem identical to the original. Short legs here so I feel your pain!
Sheaffer says
GREAT tip, Lori! THANK YOU! xoxo
Karen says
What size did you get in the Tshirt dress you are wearing with the leopard tote? Medium? It’s super cute!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Karen! I’m actually wearing a small! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kathy Lang says
Only 9:15 am and the leopard tote is showing unavailable. 🙁 I was definitely going to get it. Would love to know when it’s back in stock. I love the low-profile wedges too. Did you get your regular size?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kathy! I’m so disappointed about the tote…but I just contacted the seller, and she said they are definitely getting more in, so I will for sure keep everybody posted! And yes, I got my regular size in the low profile wedges! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Karen says
I purchased the Must Have Denim Jacket a few years back and last fall when I went to pull it out of my closet it wasn’t there. I scoured my house, called all of my friends and checked back at restaurants we had been to and no luck. I ordered another one but it felt much tighter than my last one so I had to size up. I still miss my first broken in one but was happy that I could get another one. Of course I HAD to order those lilac/pink jeans and LOVE LOVE LOVE the color. And I just got the button fly one’s yesterday and can already tell they are going to become a quick favorite. Keep em coming. :O)
Sheaffer says
So happy to hear that you are loving all of your KUT purchases!!!!! Thanks for the comment! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Dani says
hi Sheaffer! would you do a post about nice yet casual cloths you like to wear in the summer? i love all your posts! thank you! 🙂
Katie Harris says
Help! I only see the denim jacket in “Gratitude” and “Optic White”. Am I missing something?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Katie! Nordstrom changed the link for the jacket again! So sorry, I know it’s super frustrating. If you go to nodstrom.com and search “Kut from the Kloth sweet denim jacket”, the right wash will pop up! Sadly, it’s only showing any petite sizing right now, but I’m hoping that changes soon. I contacted KUT directly and they are working on it! Thanks for your patience, Sheaffer 🙂
Julee says
Amazon will let you preorder the tote – says available 4/17, so I did that!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Julee! Good tip! Thanks! xoxo
Heidi says
Hello, I keep seeing the LV bag from time to time but I can’t make out which one it is. Can u tell me? Ive been wanting a LV bag like that with a zipper for a long time.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Heidi! It’s called The Sully! xoxo
Heidi says
Thank you so much! I just asked this again today on your new post because I never saw this. Sorry about that! I love the strap options that u provided for us.
Corrie says
Question : all your old posts say you have the Must-Have Jacket in Small…but here it says Medium.
I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on one, but not sure which size to go with (I think we’re a similar size). ?
Sheaffer says
Great question, Corrie! I own 2. I have a small, and a medium. It’s the medium I wear now. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Sande Wier says
I’ve been following you for over 5 years and have bought SO many of your wonderful suggestions. Why the heck did it take this long for me to order the “sweet” Denim jacket? Probably because I own a denim jacket and didn’t think I needed another. Boy was I missing out!! Got mine today and It’s SO awesome!! Thanks for highlighting it yet again!! Love it!!
Sheaffer says
I LOVE THIS SANDE! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
