Workwear brands like Carhartt and Dickies have become as popular with streetwear aficionados and celebrities as they are on the job site. Though the workwear trend has skyrocketed in recent years, it’s hardly a fad. Hard-wearing Dickies pants have been a staple in skate culture for decades, and these affordable classics are unlikely to go anywhere anytime soon.
The ideal companion to Dickies’ classic work pants is the brand’s Eisenhower jacket. The simple zip-front work jacket is lightly insulated and made from a hardy fabric that’s practically bomb-proof. It can be easily found at surplus stores, but this affordable basic is an even better value right now during a limited-time Amazon deal. Typically $70, the jacket is now 30% off, which brings the total down to just $49. On-sale colors include Moss, Lincoln Green, Charcoal, and Hunter Green Camo, with sizes ranging from small to 4XL, including tall sizes.
Dickies Insulated Eisenhower Jacket, $49 (was $70) on Amazon
The Eisenhower jacket’s namesake is the United States’ 34th president, who sported a cropped blouson jacket with a spread collar and large chest pockets in his role as Allied commander during WWII. Dickies’ version is not a replica; there are no chest pockets and the fit is less cropped. But the hardwearing spirit of the original endures in the namesake.
The jacket is made from a dense cotton-polyester fabric. It features two hand pockets, an inner patch pocket, and a military-inspired pocket on the arm. The inside of the jacket sports a quilted lining for insulation. As a workwear jacket, the cut is roomy and the fabric is stiff, designed to soften with wear. The jacket features a simple spread collar and a single zip-front placket, with a substantial brass zipper for ease of use. The sleeves are roomy and run long, but the button on the cuff means they can be rolled up.
Dickie’s Eisenhower jacket is an enduring icon that's a continuous hit with shoppers. One shopper raved that it “never goes out of style.” Another shopper appreciated that it’s “very sturdy.”
The simplicity of the jacket means it can be worn in a variety of ways, as one shopper pointed out, noting that it “goes well with blue jeans and a T-shirt.” Another shopper found that the jacket looked “good with jeans, work pants, or even casual trousers.” The jacket can also be worn with Dickies’ 874 pants for a coordinating look.
Because it's a limited-time deal, the savings on the Dickies Insulated Eisenhower Jacket certainly won’t last. If you've been looking for a simple go-to jacket to carry you through the next shoulder season, pick one of these up while they're still just $49 to take advantage of some huge savings.
