Born from the grit of the American West, the denim trucker jacket was once the armor of cowboys, miners, and railroad workers, men who built their lives under open skies. With the Driggs, we took that time-honored silhouette and elevated it in leather, blending rugged tradition with refined craftsmanship.
Crafted from 100% full-grain cow leather in cognac brown, the Driggs features antique brass buttons and classic seam detailing that pay homage to its denim roots. Two chest flap pockets and two welted side pockets provide utility and balance, while the interior includes an easy-clean polyester lining and an inside left chest pocket. Built to wear close to the body, this jacket runs a little trim, so size up and check the guide.
The leather trucker in its warmest, richest tone. Cognac brown is full-grain cowhide, which wears a touch heavier than the goat-leather Brown and develops a deep patina at the elbows and cuffs over the years.

Full-grain cow leather in a rich cognac tone, a touch heavier than the goat-leather Brown. Cowhide wears heavier and develops a deep patina at the elbows and cuffs.
Denim-jacket heritage hardware in antique brass. The buttons age in step with the leather, never plastic-bright.
The time-honored trucker structure elevated in leather, with classic seam detailing that pays homage to its denim roots.
A functional, balanced pocket layout that carries the everyday without breaking the clean front lines.
A smooth interior lining that slides over a tee or henley, plus an inside left chest pocket for a wallet or phone.
Built to wear close to the body. The Driggs runs a little trim, so size up for a comfortable fit over a layer.
| Best For | The man who loves the denim-trucker silhouette but wants it built to last decades. The year-round wearer. A tee in spring, a flannel in fall, on its own through summer evenings. The buyer who wants a leather jacket that reads casual and rugged rather than dressy. The man building a wardrobe of pieces that age with character. |

| Sizing & Fit | For exact personal sizing recommendation, use the Measurement WAIR Guide at the top of the page, 4 questions to get your exact size. And click here, for our specific size chart for the item if you have more questions. Sizing philosophy: trim, close-to-the-body trucker cut. Between sizes: size up. The Driggs runs small, and the leather sits close. Standard size up one: room for a tee or light henley underneath. For a flannel or midweight layer, size up and confirm against the chart. |
| Care | Condition the leather every 3 to 6 months. Avoid machine washing. Air dry naturally if wet, never near direct heat. Store on a wide hanger. |

Cognac Brown is full-grain cow leather in a warm, rich tone. The standard Brown is full-grain goat leather, softer and quicker to break in. Same trucker build and brass-button detailing; the difference is leather type and tone.
Use the WaiR tool for a personalized recommendation. The Driggs runs trim and a little small, so size up from your normal size, especially if layering.
Same denim-trucker silhouette and seam detailing, made in full-grain leather with antique brass buttons. It ages like leather, not denim, and lasts far longer.
A one year warranty covers stitching, hardware, and structural defects. Normal patina and wear marks are part of how the jacket is meant to age and are not defects.
Features
Shopping online, as most of us do nowadays, you’ll want to know your measurements to help ensure a great fit. The sketch below shows where to take measurements to compare to clothing you already own. Keep in mind, however, those measurements will only be helpful if taken correctly. Tip: don’t let the measuring tape hang loose when you’re measuring, but avoid pulling the tape excessively tight. Here’s how to get accurate measurements:
Length: Measure from the bottom of the collar to the waist seam.
Shoulders: Measure between the top of the sleeve seams.
Chest: Measure the entire circumference of your chest. Begin with one end of the measuring tape 1 inch below the armhole at the fullest part of your chest. Then, keeping the tape level, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
Sleeve: Accurately measuring sleeve length is tough to do yourself, so ask someone to help with this. Beginning with one end of the tape at the top of your arm, then down to your wrist. This entire length is your arm-length measurement.
Do the same rules apply to how a jacket should fit as to other jackets or outerwear? Not necessarily. Read on for details.
Leather will stretch over time, so you never want to start with a leather jacket that is too big. But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! It’s also essential to allow room for layers under your leather jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a leather jacket that fits just right:
Chest: Leather jackets ought to fit more snugly through the chest than a regular overcoat, but consider the types of layers you may want to wear underneath. If you live in a warm climate and will be layering over light clothing such as a dress shirt or t-shirt, we recommend adding 2-3 inches to your measured chest size. If you live in a colder climate and layering over heavier clothing such as sweaters, we recommend adding 3-4 inches to your chest size. If you land between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next size available. Tip: you should be able to comfortably zip or button your leather jacket all the way up, even if you plan to wear it open.
Shoulders: Suit coat rules do not apply to leather jackets, so it's okay if the shoulder comes down your arm a few inches. However, even though the leather will give over time if the shoulder seam is higher than your shoulder, the jacket is too small.
Waist: The bottom of your leather jacket should not reach below the bottom of your belt/top of your thigh. This is likely shorter than other overcoats you've owned, but a leather jacket that hangs well below the belt is too big unless you're wearing a long leather trench coat.
Sleeve Length: The proper sleeve length on a leather jacket is consistent with pretty much any jacket: sleeves should end at your wrist.

Review topics: [].
"Jacket is a great fit with great material. I am 6 feet tall at 166 pounds with a lean/athletic build and the jacket fits great. It as buttons on the bottom to tighten it if you need to tighten it around the waist/torso"
"I have been looking at this jacket for a long time. When the July sale began I decided to buy it and since I live in Texas put it away till it cools off. However, the quality, fit, and appearance of this jacket is superior. I am very excited to wear it this fall and winter."
"This is a gorgeous and incredibly well-made jacket. I look forward to wearing it for decades to come. For reference, I am 6"0', 230 lbs. with 52' shoulders and a 36' waist. The 3X sized jacket fits my athletic frame as though it was tailored to me, including the perfect sleeve length. I also want to thank the Buffalo Jackson folks who patiently worked with me through a combination of jackets and sizes until I found my perfect fit. The customer service they offer is second to none. I won't hesitate to shop with them again."
"Wonderful jacket! The leather is very supple, the lining inside has a soft feel even in short sleeves, and fits like a glove. Certainly needs a few weeks to break in, it’s a little stiff at first. Highly recommend!"
"I'm 6 feet tall, 175 pounds and wear a 40 regular suit. I purchased the recommended large Driggs leather in cognac and it fit perfectly. The quality is excellent, and the color is just what I wanted."
"Love this jacket, I thought I was smart after reading the reviews, but not so. Ordered a large and had to return for an XL. Easily returned on their dime and will keep them on the top of my list. (6’1”, 188 lbs. , 44 chest)"
"Love the look and feel of my first leather jacket"
"Great jacket! XXL fits me just right at 6’3”/235 lbs."
"Terrific jacket, great quality and fit! 6’”, 187 lbs, 44” chest XXL"
"Surprised by the quality and extremely happy with the fit."
Drum-dyed and tanned leather will develop a unique patina to record all your adventures (and misadventures).
