The perfect jacket is a tough thing to find. It's a near impossible task, actually. One has materials that are too thin, another is too beefy and overpriced. Something from a workwear brand looks a little too tough, something from a fashion brand a little too soft. But it's time to stop searching. We made the perfect jacket—or at least we think so—by teaming up with the folks at Bespoke Post's in-house brand Line of Trade to put our touches on the damn perfect Montana fleece-lined corduroy trucker jacket.

The first thing you have to understand about the Dumas is that it's soft. Almost alarmingly soft. That's because it's made from the wool from a lamb's first shearing, AKA virgin wool. Known for being extraordinarily pliable and pleasingly supple, virgin wool is also a lot more pricey than the other stuff because, well, it's a one shot deal. The lamb can only give that quality wool once, hence the name. That softness and pliability also means the Dumas softly drapes cleanly over the shoulders but still feels robust and solid.
