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.

AETHER co-founder, Jonah Smith, presents the story and capabilities of The Reporter Jacket.
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.
Weather-Beating Fabric
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.
Specialized Carrying Options
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.
Additional Details
Underarm ventilation with hidden grommets for breathability
Branded, 2-in-1 back kangaroo pocket with magnetized top closure and zippered side closure
