 9 Jean Jackets That Age Like Fine Wine

By Gerald Ortiz

Adding a jean jacket to your closet is like drafting Lebron to your rec league team: you’ll end up with a ‘ship no matter how bad the rest of the squad is. Whatever you want to call ’em—jean jackets, denim jackets, trucker jackets—the all-American stalwarts are layering MVPs of rarified caliber. (Makes sense considering blue jeans, their southern equivalent, can do the exact same thing for your entire wardrobe.)

Roots in workwear might’ve endowed the jean jacket with utilitarian features and durability for generations, but these days, the humble piece of outerwear has long since outgrown its pragmatic origins. Whether you’re after an old-school repro or a new-school designer riff, any jean jacket should have the ability to carry your fits to victory—and every version worth your money is after the jump.
