This list covers 20 jacket brands, running alphabetically from “Diesel” to “Dunhill”. They range from rugged workwear labels to luxury fashion houses and technical outdoor gear makers, and you’ll find them used everywhere from job sites and ski slopes to city streets and high-end runways.

Jacket Brands are companies that design and produce outerwear, often building their reputation around a specific style, material, or purpose like denim, down, or protective riding gear. Some grew out of practical needs, such as Dainese’s motorcycle jackets born from racing safety research, while others became symbols of fashion and culture, like Diesel’s rise from Italian denim workshop to global streetwear name.
