This list covers 19 jacket brands, running alphabetically from “Helly Hansen” to “Holden Outerwear.” Most of these names built their reputation on outerwear made for tough conditions, from sailing and skiing to motorcycle riding and everyday city wear. You’ll find heritage European labels alongside newer American and Australian names, each bringing its own take on protection, comfort, and style.

Jacket brands are companies that design and manufacture outerwear meant to shield the wearer from cold, wind, rain, or physical wear. Some started out equipping sailors and mountaineers, like Helly Hansen, founded in 1877 by a Norwegian sea captain who wanted gear tough enough for the open ocean. Others grew from sportswear or workwear roots before jackets became their signature product.
