Corduroy Jacket

Cotton-Blend Corduroy Fabric — 8 to 11 Wale Construction

The defining feature of a corduroy jacket is its raised, parallel ridges, known as wales. Unlike smooth cotton twill or denim, corduroy has a textured pile surface that gives the garment its recognizable appearance.

Shearling Leather's corduroy jackets use an 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend, combining the familiar hand feel of cotton-based fabric with polyester content.

The collection features two principal corduroy textures:

8-wale corduroy has approximately eight raised ridges per inch, creating a wider, more pronounced surface pattern. Its visible texture works particularly well with vintage-inspired trucker jackets and workwear silhouettes.

11-wale corduroy has approximately eleven ridges per inch, producing a finer texture that suits more understated, everyday jacket designs.

Fabric weights range from approximately 250 to 320 grams per square metre (GSM). Lighter constructions can work well for layering, while heavier fabrics provide a more substantial feel.

The precise fabric weight, wale count and garment construction depend on the selected style.

Men's Corduroy Trucker Jackets — Classic Casual Outerwear

A men's corduroy trucker jacket combines the familiar structure of traditional trucker outerwear with the softer-looking texture of corduroy.

These jackets typically feature a pointed collar, defined front panels, full-length sleeves and a waist- or hip-length silhouette.

Regular-fit trucker designs are a central part of this collection, offering an alternative to both slim-fitting leather jackets and oversized casual outerwear.

Selected styles include chest flap pockets, which reinforce the classic workwear-inspired appearance.

For a traditional earth-toned option, explore the Men's Brown Corduroy Trucker Jacket.

The brown fabric complements denim, chinos, knitted sweaters and casual footwear, making this silhouette particularly suitable for everyday autumn and mild-winter wardrobes.

Corduroy Bomber Jackets — Relaxed Vintage Styling

For customers who prefer a more compact silhouette, corduroy bomber jackets offer another interpretation of this textured fabric.

Bomber-inspired designs generally feature a shorter body and a more defined hem, creating a different shape from conventional button-front trucker jackets.

The Men's Maroon Bomber Corduroy Jacket introduces a richer color option, while the Men's Dark Blue Corduroy Bomber Jacket provides a darker alternative.

These styles work well with denim, casual trousers and simple knitwear. Their corduroy texture adds visual interest without depending on patches, printed graphics or extensive decorative hardware.

Customers should compare the collar, closure, hem and lining of individual designs because these details vary throughout the range.

Oversized Corduroy Jackets & Lightweight Overshirts

Not every corduroy jacket needs the same fit or level of structure.

Oversized corduroy jackets provide a looser silhouette for customers who prefer additional room through the shoulders and body. They can be styled over sweatshirts, sweaters or other casual layers.

The Men's Khaki Oversized Corduroy Jacket offers an alternative to the regular-fit trucker styles.

For a lighter, shirt-inspired appearance, consider a corduroy overshirt, sometimes called a shirt jacket or shacket.

Overshirts occupy the space between a casual shirt and a conventional jacket. Their styling makes them useful as an outer layer in mild weather or as part of a layered outfit.

The Men's Light Blue Corduroy Over Shirt introduces a lighter color into the collection.

When choosing between a trucker, bomber, oversized jacket and overshirt, consider how much room you want around the chest, shoulders and sleeves.

Faux-Shearling Corduroy Jackets for Mild Winter

For customers seeking a warmer-looking corduroy design, selected jackets incorporate artificial shearling detailing.

Faux shearling creates the appearance of a plush shearling surface without using genuine sheepskin fleece. Depending on the garment, this detailing can influence both the appearance and feel of the collar or interior.

The Dark Brown Shearling Collar Corduroy Jacket offers a cold-weather-inspired appearance with contrasting collar texture.

The collection is primarily intended for mild winter conditions and cooler transitional seasons, rather than severe winter weather.

Actual comfort depends on the fabric weight, lining, garment construction, weather conditions and layers worn underneath. Customers should review the relevant product specifications before selecting a jacket for colder temperatures.

Handmade Construction, Stitching & Interior Lining

Shearling Leather's corduroy jackets are handmade in its own workshop, where fabric panels are cut and assembled according to the design of each garment.

Construction specifications include 7–9 stitches per inch (SPI), using bonded polyester or bonded nylon thread.

The stitching arrangement varies with the jacket's silhouette, seam placement and pocket construction. Selected designs incorporate chest flap pockets, a recognizable detail of classic trucker and utility outerwear.

Lining materials include polyester, viscose and satin, depending on the particular style.

These interior finishes provide different textures and wearing experiences. A smoother lining, for example, can make it easier to put a jacket on over a long-sleeve shirt or sweater.

Because no single construction specification applies identically to every product, customers should check individual listings for the precise lining, closure, pocket arrangement and fit.

Sizes XS–5XL & Custom Corduroy Jackets

A well-fitting corduroy jacket should provide comfortable space through the chest, shoulders and upper arms without excessive pulling across the front.

Regular-fit corduroy trucker jackets offer a more conventional outerwear shape, while oversized designs allow a looser fit.

Most styles are available from XS to 5XL, and custom sizing is available for customers requiring individual measurements.

When choosing a size, consider the finished jacket chest measurement, shoulder width, sleeve length and preferred body length. Allow additional room if you plan to wear thicker knitwear underneath.

Customers can consult the Shearling Leather Size Guide or contact the store to discuss custom measurements before ordering.

How to Care for a Corduroy Jacket

Corduroy's raised pile requires careful cleaning to maintain its appearance.

Use a soft clothing brush in the direction of the fabric's ridges to remove loose surface dust. Avoid excessive rubbing, which can flatten or disturb the pile.

Always follow the garment-specific care instructions. Jackets containing linings, shaped construction or faux-shearling detailing may require different cleaning methods from an unlined cotton-blend overshirt.

Store the jacket on a suitable hanger and avoid compressing the fabric unnecessarily during long-term storage.
