Inspired by the classic Type II trucker jacket, this piece combines vintage style with added functionality. It features the original design details from the 1953 release—though ours is less boxy, with knife pleats and lower chest pockets. We’ve also made a few modern updates, like side-entry pockets and back seams. While these additions aren’t part of the original design, we felt they were important for a more functional and contemporary look.
In the late 19th century, the “hickory stripe” was born but we like to call it the railroad stripe. It was used to make everything from clothing to hats for train engineers and railroad workers. The fabric is woven to be durable like denim but not super heavyweight.
While it's 12oz 100% cotton, this fabric is durable but it doesn't require a lot of breaking in, if any at all. It isn't too stiff, there's just enough starch in the finishing of the fabric to hold some crisp lines but soon that will wear off and you'll get some good drape.
What we love about the railroad stripe is that it goes with pretty much anything, neutrals, grays and blues, this coat adds just enough pop and character without being too bold.
The jackets come with copper buttons in sizes XS-M, XL-2X and silver buttons for size L. We mixed it up by accident because the factory ran out of silver buttons so we told them to use the copper buttons that were on hand- and we kind of love it. Happy accidents can in fact happen.
