Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The sherpa lining traps heat through the body and collar, so it works as a fall or mild-winter layer. In hard cold it is better as a mid layer under a heavier coat.

What does the distressed finish mean?

The denim is faded and worn on purpose, giving a vintage look. The jacket is also listed as used, so expect the wear shown rather than a crisp new finish.

The listing gives a UK 12 with a 22-inch pit-to-pit measurement and a 33-inch collar-to-hem length. Check those figures against a jacket you already own before buying.

How should I care for a sherpa-lined denim jacket?

Wash cold and sparingly, and air dry. Heat from a dryer can shrink the denim and mat the sherpa pile.

Is it worth choosing over an unlined denim jacket?

Choose it if you want warmth and a worn-in look in one layer. An unlined jacket is lighter and easier to layer under outerwear but offers little insulation.
