While mining history for tough-wearing menswear, we couldn't shake our affection for the archetypal 1970s trucker jacket, popularized by cowboys in their heyday. With a cattle rancher's sharp eye in mind, we used only the best Italian "roughout" leather, with the rougher skin of the animal's hide on the outside, making for a beautifully textured full-grain leather. Branded brass shanks, adjustable cuffs and hem, and a "Be Optimistic" embossed stamp are discreetly stylish details.
