For as much as the menswear pantheon — and indeed, this weekly Friday Find series — is about diving into the unknown or the unexpected, sometimes, you needn’t look far to find the right gear and goods, especially when it comes to the best fall style essentials. That leads us to the effortlessly cool trucker jacket shown above: It comes from a brand that’s had some serious buzz among fans of high-quality denim for years now.
Hence, why you might not need to look far to know what NYC-based 3sixteen denim is all about. But that doesn’t mean a host of 3sixteen Fall/Winter Arrivals aren’t worth a closer look at the moment, especially if you’ve tried out the brand (or read about ’em on this blog here).
The new-meets-old 3sixteen Umber Twill Trucker Jacket reaches back into the past to bring you an updated spin on a classic, using the Lee 101 trucker jacket as inspiration. Known first as the 101J and introduced in the 1930s, Lee claims the style as the first true trucker jacket of sorts, and the legend grows from there.
To craft the 3sixteen Umber Twill Trucker Jacket, the modern denim-focused upstart kept design details like its rounded flapped pockets, adding touches like hidden front panel pockets and reinforced elbows. Not a bad way to update a classic, ehh? The boxy fit that hits above the hip is accented by broader shoulders, just like road-ready riders might have worn one of the best trucker jackets back in the day.

Even more crucial in terms of durability and fall-ready style is the Umber shade of garment-dyed 100 percent cotton twill, which should only prove softer over time. Gunmetal YKK shanks add durability to this handsome and hard-working jacket, the kind you can wear with ease atop a white tee and alongside black denim and tan leather boots.
The layering possibilities are nearly endless when it comes to classic workwear style, and your new favorite trucker jacket should certainly live up to your investment this season.
