Insider: 20% Off

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.

United By Purpose

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 and the fabric will break in with use, creating a garment that is uniquely yours. 

Weather-Beating Fabric 

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. 

Specialized Carrying Options

Underarm ventilation with hidden grommets for breathability

Branded, 2-in-1 back kangaroo pocket with magnetized top closure and zippered side closure
