Why is a classic trucker jacket as popular today as it was when it made its first appearance in the 1960s? Simple. They’re cool, reliable, and last longer than most relationships.

A trucker jacket is the quintessential “cool” piece that men have coveted for years. Originally limited to shades of blue, now trucker jackets come in styles like patchwork, distressed, or raw hemmed, so it’s no exaggeration when we say there’s one out there for everyone. Classic denim brands like Levi’s are even upping the ante by allowing people to customize their jackets - a personal touch that used to only happen after years of wear.

The difference between a good jacket and a great one isn’t the color or cut though, it’s how good you feel in it. If you put one on and don’t feel like you can take on the world, then it’s time to ask yourself why you still have it. The best trucker jackets can make a man feel good, confident, and elevate his style all at the same time - once your favorite jacket just isn’t doing it for you anymore, it’s time to move onto one that will.

Another great thing about trucker jackets is they last years. Since you’re constantly reaching for it, finding reasons to wear it, and refusing to get rid of it, it’s important that your trucker jacket last through through phases of your life and style. Fortunately, with designers like Saint Laurent, Helmut Lang, and Sandro also stepping up their trucker collections, it’s easier to count on quality and get the most possible wear out of them.
