No shortage of colour options for this new range of handmade corduroy type-III trucker jackets by Real Hoxton.
But there is a shortage of decent vintage-style trucker jackets in cord. It’s a design that has dropped out of favour with Levi’s in recent years (with the exception of the ‘sherpa’ version).
There are other makers of similar jackets out there. The Lois Tejana cord jacket has always been a popular option, as has the budget cord jacket by Fuzzdandy. Lee occasionally brings its cord jacket back, but not for quite a few years.
So there’s a gap in the market – and as it has done in the past with various other designs, Real Hoxton is filling that gap.
The design, said to be ‘several years’ in the making and the end result of various tweaks and refinements, has what’s described as the ‘original vintage fit and all the authentic details’.
Each one has been handmade with a soft, mid-weight corduroy with a cut that’s a slimmer and shorter fit than the maker’s canvas trucker jackets you might be familiar with.
Of course, it doesn’t have the Levi’s tab because this isn’t a Levi’s jacket. But if you want the ‘look’ in any of the eight colours pictured here and want new rather than shopping around for vintage, then all are now available to buy.
Sizes are small all the way through to XXL, and the price is £85.
