The trucker jacket is a true American icon. Introduced by Levis Strauss, this outerwear staple has been around for more than 100 years. And while the words “trucker jacket” most likely bring blue jean denim to mind, it has grown far more diverse in make-up and appearance since it first dressed the torsos of cowboys and railroad workers at the end of the 19th century. From the classic cut to a sherpa iteration, shop our trucker jacket highlights below and pay homage to this timeless piece.

We had to begin where it all started — the denim trucker jacket by Levi’s. You’d be hard pushed to find too many other wardrobe staples that have stood the test of time so resiliently, and you can get your hands on this classic for $200. Need we say more?

More modern interpretations come in the form of the off-white trucker from Helmut Lang, which boasts an embroidered logo at the chest as well as black contrast stitching. If you like to mix it up when it comes to material, PacSun is currently stocking this trucker jacket in sherpa wool. At $50, it’s a steal.
