We partnered with world renowned Leica, the 175-year-old German brand known as the go-to camera for generations of photojournalists, to create a jacket uniquely suited to the needs of photographers—or anyone who loves travel.
AETHER co-founder, Jonah Smith, presents the story and capabilities of The Reporter Jacket.
A jacket for photographers

Designed with Leica photographers

Weather-beating fabric that ages beautifully creating a garment that is uniquely yours.
Weather-resistant, waxed cotton-nylon blend fabric adjusts to ambient temperatures, becoming softer and more breathable in warm weather and creating a windproof barrier in colder conditions.


Highly versatile pockets are perfect for hauling camera gear—or just your daily carry.


Front pockets comfortably fit a Q or M series Leica camera


Back stash pocket for large carry items

Hidden SD card pocket




Built-in microfiber lens cleaning cloth
Functional design to document adventure.


When precision

meets purpose

A limited-edition collaboration crafted for those who live to capture the untold stories.
