Gift of the Day: A Versatile (and Classic) Jean Jacket

When we asked cyclists to recommend the best men’s jackets to wear while biking to work, Robert Evans, CEO of Cycling Quests, suggested a classic Levi’s denim trucker jacket. “If it’s not wet and I’m feeling kind of hippie-ish, I’ll wear spandex shorts and a jean jacket on top,” he says. Evans owns several Levi’s jean jackets and likes their “iconic styling,” declaring that “the rest just don’t look as cool.” Its slightly oversize, boxy construction is ’90s-inspired, and it has more room in the shoulder and sleeves than a classic Levi’s denim jacket — one could definitely wear a sweater underneath it on a particularly chilly day.

It also features on our list of our best things to buy at Levi’s and our menswear 100.
