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.
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 most versatile color. Black pairs as easily with a button-down for dinner as it does with a tee and denim, and it hides daily wear better than the brown tones. The trucker silhouette keeps it casual where a flight jacket would read dressy.

Product Guidance
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. Sizing philosophy: trim, close-to-the-body trucker cut. Between sizes: size up. The Driggs runs small, and the leather sits close. 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.
Black is the most wearable color in the Driggs lineup. It works across more outfits than the browns, dresses up or down, and hides daily wear well while keeping the casual trucker silhouette.
How does the Driggs fit?
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.
What's the difference between the Driggs and a denim jacket?
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.
What's the warranty?
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.

How to Measure Yourself
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.
How should a leather jacket fit?
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.

Can't say enough about the Driggs Leather Jacket in Cognac Brown
"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."
