This list covers 28 jacket brands, running alphabetically from “Rains” to “Redington.” You’ll find a mix of rugged outdoor labels, streetwear names, surf brands, and heritage workwear makers, each with its own take on outerwear. Some focus on waterproof shells and insulated gear for hiking and cold weather, while others lean into fashion-driven bombers, leather jackets, and everyday layers for city life.
Jacket Brands are companies that design, manufacture, or sell jackets as a core part of their product line, often building a reputation around a specific style, fabric, or use case. Some grew out of practical needs, like military surplus or fly-fishing gear, while others started as fashion houses or skate labels. Ralph Lauren, for example, turned quilted and Rugby-style jackets into a lasting piece of American style history.
