In collaboration with Leica, we constructed this uniquely functional jacket from a weather-resistant, waxed cotton-nylon blend fabric and designed it with the specific needs of photographers in mind. We finished it with the thoughtful details we’re known for, creating a spacious outer layer that honors the spirit of the globetrotting artists who inspired it. Please note: runs large—size down if in between sizes.
This garment is designed to perform best in 60 to 80 degree temperature range.
United By Purpose
To create the Reporter Jacket, we partnered with world-renowned Leica, the 175-year-old German brand known as the go-to camera for generations of photojournalists.
The fabric has been treated with a special waxed finish that adjusts to ambient temperatures, becoming softer and more breathable in warm weather and creating a windproof barrier in colder conditions. As it ages, it will naturally pick up marks and creases with wear, creating a garment that is uniquely yours.
We added a series of highly versatile pockets to the Reporter Jacket that can accommodate a camera, four batteries, and a tablet. We even added a hidden SD card pocket to keep your images secure.
