Dickies’ Classic American Workwear Jacket Is Almost Half Price Right Now

Dickies has been a staple of American workwear since 1922. It remains a reliable outfitter for professions ranging from surgeons to welders, while holding an esteemed cultural reputation for its adoption by rock stars, rappers, skaters, artists and other counterculture heroes.

The Denim Painter Jacket is a quintessential piece for the Texas-based brand, representing its pragmatic design and reliable quality. Right now, this foundational piece of American workwear is 45 percent off during End’s massive Summer Sale.

This simple collared jacket blueprint, with a zippered front, welted pockets and adjustable cuffs, offers nearly universal versatility. It works for Harrington jackets, barn coats and classic utility apparel like this.

Of course, I don’t have to spell out the appeal of a good denim jacket. While Dickies isn’t as recognized in the outerwear category as Levi’s or Wrangler, it’s been producing excellent examples since before World War II.

It is made from 100-percent cotton 14-ounce denim twill, with no lining on the body or sleeves.

Attention to detail

The Denim Painter Jacket features a tan corduroy lining on the collar with a fine wale for a soft feel.

There are two slanted welted hand pockets on the front, and one horizontal welted chest pocket with a zipper. All three are reinforced with bar tack stitches.

Key seams, like the sides and shoulders, are secured with triple-needle stitching. The other seams aren’t much weaker, featuring double needle stitching.

Pleated shoulders on the back panel provide the enhanced range of motion a painter needs on the job.

The vented cuffs are adjustable with double snaps, and the waist is adjustable with snap tabs on each hip.

Availability and pricing

Dickies’ iconic design is just as endearing and useful as it was during the peak of America’s industrial age.

With the original price of $145 knocked down to just $80 during End’s Summer Sale, it is a deal too good to pass up. Better still, every size is still available.

It is worth noting that End is a British retailer, but it covers import duties for American customers.
