Storm Rider Jacket
The blanket-lined denim jacket with the corduroy collar.
Story & heritage
Lee describes the Storm Rider as an icon born in 1953. The jacket became known for its corduroy collar, blanket lining, zig-zag stitching and slanted yoke, turning a utilitarian layer into a cult denim staple.
The appeal is still the same: it is a workwear jacket with warmth and structure, designed to look even better after wear has softened the denim and collar.
Materials & craft
Lee’s heritage notes for the Storm Rider point to 13 oz left-hand selvedge denim from Kurabo Mills, an archival corduroy collar and a striped blanket lining. Those materials give the jacket its familiar weight, texture and winter-ready character.
How to choose & style
Wear the Storm Rider when you want more texture than a standard trucker. It sits naturally over tees, knitwear and sweatshirts, and the collar makes it especially good with boots, raw denim or work trousers.
The best versions lean deep indigo or washed blue, because the collar and lining do most of the visual heavy lifting.
