Style Pick of the Week: Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket – A Modern Take on a Rugged Classic

At the best of times, menswear can be downright fun, can it not? I’m talking about those moments when you stumble upon a piece that harkens back to yesteryear, to classically rugged style, yet somehow, that style staple manages to feel fresh and new.

The best trucker jackets for men, when done the right way, call back to the open road decades ago, and when updated by an all-American brand like Line of Trade, yes indeed, they can certainly feel fresh, fun and downright cool-as-heck and utterly pleasing to wear.

Are you with me still? Good, great, grand — the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket is the sort of menswear staple to ring in the season, one made with an exceptional blend of quality, craftsmanship and affordable-as-can-be pricing.

It’s worth a closer look, especially as temperatures continue to plummet across December and beyond. If casually rugged style is the name of the game this season — which it very much is — then you’ve found a winner in this handsome, old-school-inspired trucker jacket. Let’s see what really makes the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket tick, shall we?

Right off the bat, you’ll very much recognize the Americana inspiration coursing through every stitch of Line of Trade menswear, as past Line of Trade reviews on this very site seem to indicate. The brand has a knack for taking the throwback-minded and making it modern in matters of fabric and fit, and the pleasingly rugged yet cozy-and-comfortable Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket fits the bill quite nicely.

As the company (founded by Bespoke Post, and available via the famed retailer as well as its own site) tells it, this hard-working take on a classic “enhances a classic trucker with soft, warm, deep-pile sherpa lining and heavyweight construction built for colder months.”

I certainly couldn’t have said it better myself when it comes to the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket, and in my experience testing this jacket, it’s both exceptionally soft on the inside and yet substantial on the outside without being too bulky or overpowering.

Quilted interior sleeves aid in warmth and a sense of easy-on, easy-off wearability, and I can’t help but appreciate durable finishing touches like metal shank buttons and four easy-access pockets, all in the mold of the timeless trucker jacket.

Especially when paired with a rugged henley or layered over a fisherman sweater, I’d wager supreme warmth is all but guaranteed when it comes to the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket — it’s now easier than ever to bundle classic style, rugged performance and seasonal comfort in one stylish package, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s Best-Selling Trucker Jacket Just Got a Major Upgrade

Flint and Tinder trucker jacket review.

It’s like we’ve been saying for weeks if not months on this Brooklyn style blog: There’s not a better time of year for menswear than right now, with its rich layers, its promise of crisp outdoor adventure and the chance to lean into your rugged side.

And certain retailers just meet the moment quite handily, as you also well know if you read this menswear blog on the regular. Of course, Huckberry stocks the kind of vintage-inspired, Americana-tinged gear you can count on to power everything from weekend farmer’s market visits to cabin getaways, bonfires, park strolls and more.

But even the best gear needs an upgrade or a refresh from time to time, including one of Huckberry’s best sellers, the indomitable and incomparable Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket.

The company’s best-selling item of all-time is normally made from a hard-wearing Martexin sailcloth and lined with striped blanket flannel lining, but the latest and greatest Flint and Tinder trucker jacket gets a big-time, highly intriguing upgrade: Witness the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket, which blends the softness of 100 percent indigo-dyed cotton with distinctive Japanese Sashiko stitching.

There’s plenty of character to love in the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket, which updates a true modern menswear classic in utterly eye-catching fashion. As Huckberry notes, sashiko stitching, an age-old technique, helps lend texture, character and craftsmanship to all kinds of textiles, this handsome trucker jacket very much included.

And like other variations on your favorite indigo menswear, pieces like the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket will take on their own character and patina the more you wear ’em — with each wear, in fact.

Huckberry rightfully calls this gem of a piece a “limited-edition, artisanal take on our iconic trucker jacket,” and it’s hard to pass that up (act carefully, since size XS is already sold out online).

The great news is, the same hallmarks that make other versions of the Flint and Tinder trucker jacket so excellent are all in on the action as well, from side-entry waist pockets to a flap-button chest pocket and the brand’s utterly classic striped blanket lining. Look for the inner left side media pocket for your everyday carry, too. And custom, durable hardware lends even further durability to this timeless silhouette, which should prove every bit as wearable as your other favorite Flint and Tinder trucker jacket.

Rock it early and often with a grey henley and tan chinos, or else style it with black jeans and broken-in tan leather boots for a dash of rock n’roll edge. However you choose to wear the newest Flint and Tinder trucker jacket, rest assured that it’s with you for the ride every step of the way, and then some.

See Now, Buy Now: This Lee x Buck Mason Trucker Jacket Pays Homage to a Menswear Icon

When two legendary purveyors of Americana classics — one from decades past, one from the present day — team up, the results are worth keeping an eye on, and that certainly holds true when it comes to the new Buck Mason x Lee Jeans collection.

As to Buck Mason, the Los Angeles-based company delivers a wide range of gear that’s frequently refreshed — and always interesting, appealing and stylish, from Japanese-made denim to a modern take on the classic flight jacket.

It also goes without saying (nearly) that Buck Mason men’s T-shirts and henleys boast impeccable fits, a range of fabric options — from thick thermal waffle weaves to soft pima cotton — and excellent quality. In my book, the Buck Mason x Lee Jeans collection is as natural a fashion pairing as I’ve come across in several years.

And as to Lee Jeans, the company is among a host of American icons — like Levi’s and Wrangler — that have hung its hat on the stylish, utterly iconic cotton blue jean (in fact, Lee issued the first pair of blue jeans made with zipper way back in 1927).

With the Buck Mason x Lee Jeans collection, a range of iconic styles get the Buck Mason treatment, including the refreshed Lee x Buck Mason Herringbone Twill 101J Trucker Jacket. The 101J trucker jacket is the Lee version of the road-ready trucker jacket, boasting an updated vision via the good denim stewards at Buck Mason. Details like a zig-zag stitch placket set this trucker jacket apart, as does the iconic Lee trucker jacket design, but Buck Mason’s use of a sturdy yet soft tan herringbone twill takes the piece from merely good to simply great.

The Lee x Buck Mason Herringbone Twill 101J Trucker Jacket also features front contrast stitching and two flap patch pockets, just like classic trucker jackets, while the fit hits above the hip — again, just like trucker jackets made decades ago. It helps that the Lee x Buck Mason Herringbone Twill 101J Trucker Jacket features a suitably dusty color, the kind that pairs well with expertly faded Buck Mason blue jeans and a crisp white T-shirt (to put forth but one style suggestion, of course).

Keep in mind that the recently launched Buck Mason x Lee Jeans collection also features selvedge denim jackets, a handsome suede zip jacket and a fresh graphic tee, for good measure. But in my experience, it’s hard to pass up the rugged versatility of something like the Lee x Buck Mason Herringbone Twill 101J Trucker Jacket — it’s an investment at nearly $350, but one that’s packed with both retro history and modern style.

Triple Aught Design Outrider Jacket review.

Triple Aught Design uses modern, innovative fabrications (like the British Millerain Sahara canvas found on this jacket), while also nodding to the past (note the Type II-knife pleats on the front of this handsome trucker jacket). It’s eye-catching, hard-working gear that I can certainly appreciate, and I hope you’ll feel the same way.

And what better way to get started with a brand’s wares than by scoring a handsome, rugged trucker jacket at a 30 percent discount, right? The Triple Aught Design Outrider Jacket is also treated with a Staywax finish for weather-ready durability, and it boasts cotton twill lined pockets and cotton corduroy lined cuffs — not to mention snap hip and chest pockets for ease of access.

It also comes in three dusty, earthy colors for versatility and style points in spades, and the fit should hit nicely at the hip while layering over T-shirts, henleys, flannel shirts and more — as one of the best trucker jackets for men should, of course. There’s not a jacket on the market quite like the Triple Aught Design Outrider Jacket, and you should jump at this chance to save 30 percent on a new favorite trucker jacket for your next rugged #OOTD, folks.

It’s not just any old jacket — it’s a rugged trucker jacket from Bespoke Post and Line of Trade that should command your attention in frosty temperatures.

It could very well be one of the best trucker jackets on the market, a reliably durable and casual change of pace for when you want to swap out your winter parka for something with more mobility and more detail in mind.

The Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket hits the nail on the head in that regard, neither sacrificing comfort nor warmth in the pursuit of seasonal style. And just ahead of the holiday season, this stylish trucker jacket for men could be a rather wise last-minute gift purchase — the specs, as you’ll see below, are on-point.

Best waxed trucker jackets for men.

Bespoke Post knows a thing or two about hidden gems and about timeless classics in your menswear wardrobe, and the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket qualifies in every which way. It’s built with 100 percent cotton on the exterior that’s then finished with a hard-wearing wax, the kind of fabrication that develops a handsome patina over time.

But in my experience, it’s really the heavyweight cotton plaid flannel lining that takes the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket up a notch (Think: A thicker lining than the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, without overdoing it).

Oversized hip patch pockets and a classic pointed chest pocket drive home the ranch jacket detailing, while brass shank buttons offer maximum utility and dependability. Five color options, from Field Tan to Surplus Olive, provide style options for every taste, and it doesn’t hurt that the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket is priced more than fairly at $158.

While it’s certainly not as blizzard-ready as a thick parka, it can serve as a useful, stylish go-between for tailgates, days in the yard or the field, and evenings at your favorite dive bar — I know that’s where I’ll be wearing my Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket, and I’d encourage you to do the same. Cheers to the season, my friends!

See Now, Buy Now: The Todd Snyder Lightweight Dylan Jacket is Perfect for Early Spring

This season, I say don’t leave anything to chance when it comes to your rotation of menswear essentials and especially, one of the best spring jackets for men. And when it comes down to it, Todd Snyder — famed American menswear designer — is about as iconic as it gets in terms of delivering spring style essentials with flair and utility.

That might mean something rugged yet surprisingly refined, like one of the best Western shirts on the market, or it could mean something equally useful for spring, like an updated version of the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket. In my experience, whether it’s the Todd Snyder Dylan Leather Jacket or this lightweight edition, it’s a step up from the typical trucker jacket, in a way that only Snyder can produce.

This rugged (and again, yet refined) take on the trucker jacket is a personal favorite of mine, merging modern quality and elegance with the casually cool look of a classic silhouette. The latest iteration of the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket uses a lightweight poly-cotton blend for stretch, comfort and easy layering on blustery and cooler spring days and nights.

And it doesn’t hurt that the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket features a tailored silhouette, all the while coming in versatile Cream or Navy color options. It’s an almost dressier take on the trucker jacket, the kind that works as well with tan chinos as it does with light wash jeans and a T-shirt, and that’s never a bad thing to have handy, either.

Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket review.

In one (or both!) colors, the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket is an elegant update to an iconic look, the kind that’s going to upgrade anything you wear it with — and anything you do, from a spring patio imbibing session to weekend coffee outings. Shop accordingly, and then get ready to meet your new favorite seasonal jacket: The Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket, of coursee

The Thursday Buy: Amp Up Your Winter Outerwear with the Sustainable Outerknown Blanket Trucker Jacket

Outerknown Blanket Trucker review.

It’s one thing to have a wardrobe packed with menswear essentials you can reach for at every turn — lounging at home, hitting the town, dashing out for weekend coffee or heading to the office. It’s another thing entirely to pack that wardrobe with the best sustainable menswear essentials, but my friends, that’s why we’re here today.

The good folks at Outerknown have that noble goal top of mind, and if you’re not familiar with the West Coast brand founded by surfing icon Kelly Slater, then I’d wager that a piece like the Outerknown Blanket Trucker Jacket (prime for winter weather) is an excellent place to start.

It’s not the most iconic piece from the modern brand — that’d be the wear-with-anything cotton twill shirt and overshirt that is the highly versatile Outerknown Blanket Shirt — but consider it another addition to your wardrobe of (repeat after me) sustainable menswear essentials. And rest assured your new favorite trucker jacket shares plenty of that same style, utility and rugged DNA as its more famous predecessor.

Slater founded the brand with an eye toward using better fabrics, producing less waste and producing stylish menswear more efficiently, and that lends itself nicely to pieces like the famed Outerknown Blanket Shirt, among others.

Take the Outerknown Blanket Trucker Jacket: It’s made with a blend of organic and recycled cotton denim across the exterior, which features classic trucker jacket touches like point flap pockets and “V” stitching from pockets to hips. The lining is also made with 100 percent organic cotton, in keeping with its shared DNA from the acclaimed Outerknown Blanket Shirt.

Handwarmer hip pockets make this trucker jacket an easy move on brisk mornings and nights — while you’ll want to keep one of the best men’s parkas handy for much more inclement winter weather, the Outerknown Blanket Trucker Jacket could be a casually rugged go-between with dark brown chinos, tan corduroy pants or olive chinos.

As the company sagely notes, it’s “tough on the outside, soft on the inside,” and with its style points, the Outerknown Blanket Trucker Jacket could just change the way you think about sustainable menswear this season (and beyond).
