The Best Men’s Corduroy Jacket for Fall 2025

Some fabrics come and go. Corduroy never left. It’s tough, dependable, and just gets better with age—exactly what fall calls for. Whether you’re out in the elements or just want a layer that pulls its weight, a solid corduroy jacket is a staple worth investing in. This versatile outerwear is perfect for various weather conditions and occasions.

But not all corduroy is created equal. If you’re serious about quality, craftsmanship, and pieces that truly last, you’ve come to the right place.

What Are Corduroy Jackets?

Corduroy jackets have been a staple in men’s wardrobes for decades, and for good reason. Known for their rugged, textured fabric and versatile style, these jackets are perfect for both casual and formal occasions.

Made from cotton or a cotton-blend fabric, corduroy jackets feature a distinctive ribbed or striped pattern that adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Whether you’re pairing them with jeans for a laid-back weekend look or dressing them up with trousers for a more polished appearance, corduroy jackets offer a stylish and comfortable option for any occasion.

Why Corduroy Is King for Fall

Corduroy isn’t some trendy fabric trying to be a trend. It’s always been there, quietly doing the job it was made to do. Durable, versatile, and just the right amount of rugged, corduroy gives you a jacket that’s functional without trying too hard to be fashionable.

More importantly, a good corduroy jacket strikes that perfect balance between warmth and breathability, keeping you comfortable whether you’re chopping wood, grabbing a beer with friends, or heading into casual Friday at work with a pair of sleek sneakers…aka the perfect fall jacket.

Here’s why it belongs in every man’s wardrobe this fall:

• Durable Yet Flexible: Unlike flimsy fast-fashion fabrics, corduroy holds its own without sacrificing comfort.
• Timeless Style: With its vintage roots and versatile texture, corduroy bridges classic and contemporary aesthetics effortlessly.
• Gets Better With Age: Think of corduroy like your favorite cast-iron skillet. It’s one of the rare materials that only improves over time.
• Seasonal Practicality: Rainy days? No problem. The thick, ribbed texture makes it warm and perfect for layering.

What Does a Good Corduroy Jacket Look Like?

When it comes to choosing a corduroy jacket, there are several key features to look for. First and foremost, a good corduroy jacket should be made from high-quality, durable fabric that can withstand regular wear and tear.

The construction should be sturdy, with reinforced stitching and a design that won’t go out of style quickly. Comfort is also crucial, so look for a jacket with a fit that is neither too loose nor too tight, and sleeves that are the right length.

Practicality is another important factor; a good corduroy jacket should have plenty of pockets for storing essentials like your phone, wallet, and keys. With these features, you’ll have a jacket that not only looks great but also stands the test of time.

Now, onto the good stuff…

The Best Fall Jacket for 2025 Isn’t Just a Jacket—It’s the Chapman

Let’s cut the noise: most jackets sold for fall are just layers of marketing wrapped in cheap fabric.

They look the part for a season, maybe two, and then fall apart—physically and stylistically. Our Chapman Corduroy Shirt Jacket by Devium USA is a different animal (and we're not shy about it). This isn't just a jacket you throw on when the temperature drops. It's a piece of gear with a backbone—something made to last, made to be worn, and crafted by people who give a damn.

Devium doesn’t follow fashion trends. We build timeless American menswear for those who actually live in their clothes—who work, ride, create, and move with purpose. The Chapman is made in small batches, sewn in Southern California by craftsmen who know how to hold up a garment. The corduroy isn’t some mass-produced roll from overseas; to be specific, it’s deadstock 8-wale vintage corduroy sourced from a warehouse in New York.

That means it’s vintage material that doesn’t exist anymore—once it’s gone, it’s gone. That alone makes each jacket a little more personal.

But it’s not just about scarcity. It’s about philosophy. In a world obsessed with fast everything—fast fashion, fast shipping, fast returns—we slow it down and do it right. The Chapman is built like the guy who wears it: not interested in flash, but obsessed with function, form, and doing things the right way. Military-grade snaps. Reinforced stitching. A fit that’s rugged but sharp enough to clean up well. It’s the kind of jacket that gets better the more you beat it up.

What makes this the fall jacket for 2025 isn’t just the fabric or the cut. It’s the mindset behind it…

We're in a time when people are starting to care again about where their clothes come from and how they’re made. They’re tired of replacing the same cheap junk year after year. The Chapman answers that call. It’s part shirt, part jacket, full statement: I don’t need ten things. I need one great thing.

And here’s the kicker—it wears like your favorite flannel but holds its own like a jacket. That makes it deadly versatile. Toss it over a tee when the sun’s out, or layer it up with a hoodie when the air sharpens. It doesn’t scream for attention. It just fits your lifestyle, your build, your values.

So, yeah. The Chapman isn’t for everyone. But if you care about quality, about American craftsmanship, about buying fewer, better things, then it might be the only jacket you need this fall.

How to Pull Off a Corduroy Jacket This Fall

Corduroy is versatile enough to handle just about any situation. Here’s how to style yours confidently:

• The Everyday Look: Pair a neutral-toned corduroy jacket with a clean white tee and dark jeans. It’s simple, rugged, and effortlessly cool.
• Layer Game Strong: Throw your jacket over a flannel or thermal for an easy, warm outfit. Joggers can be a comfortable and stylish option.
• Elevated Casual: Forget the blazer. A tailored corduroy jacket goes perfectly with a button-down shirt, quality chinos, and leather loafers for a smart casual look.
• Outdoorsman Vibes: Opt for a casual jacket made with corduroy and layer it with rugged boots, a wool sweater, cargo pants, and a beanie for those crisp outdoor adventures.

Corduroy Jacket Care

To keep your corduroy jacket looking its best, it’s essential to follow proper care instructions. Always wash your corduroy jacket in cold water to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric’s texture.

When drying, use a low heat setting to avoid damaging the material. Like all your coats, your jacket does get wet, be sure to dry it as soon as possible to prevent water spots. With the right care, your corduroy jacket can remain a stylish and functional part of your wardrobe for many years to come.
