8 Best Corduroy Collared Jackets to Add to Your Rotation

First up, our most beloved: the Carhartt OG Detroit Jacket. It’s a heavier-weight canvas. (Carhartt makes a few weights, but this version is substantial.) It’s perfect for the colder stretch of fall, right before you need a full-on parka. We love this faded black–gray stone wash and the black corduroy collar that pops just enough. This is the kind of jacket you wear year in and year out, and suddenly you can’t remember what you wore before it. We can’t recommend it enough.

A lot of workwear jackets use thick, expensive fabrics, so prices creep up. Uniqlo always delivers solid, more wallet-friendly basics, including this contrast-collar jacket. It comes in three colors. We’re partial to the grayish olive, though the light brown and black are great too. The relaxed fit is easy to wear, the corduroy collar hits the note we’re after, and the flannel-ish lining adds just enough coziness without making it overly warm. For $80, it’s a winner.

Next is this Paige denim chore jacket, which looks simple but has a lot going on in the best way. It’s a proper chore coat cut: a touch longer, calling back to those old-school French work jackets but done in denim. It’s great for layering or for days when you want something lighter than a Carhartt. It’s Paige denim, so you already know the deal: soft, durable, long-lasting. The brown, almost espresso corduroy collar finishes it perfectly.

Citizens of Humanity—also a denim brand, though this jacket is not—made one of the most beautiful jackets we’ve ever seen. The canvas twill is a deep chocolate brown paired with a matching corduroy collar. It’s midweight, non-stretch, and unlined, so it drapes easily and moves with you. The fit is just impeccable. It’s on the pricier side, but for a diehard corduroy-collar fan—or someone looking to gift themselves something special—it’s a stunning, hunting-coat-adjacent option.

Then we have the collab between Wrangler and Filson. This one feels like the platonic ideal of a contrast-collar jacket: classic Wrangler denim with Filson’s darker, tougher corduroy at the collar. It’s boxier than a chore coat and slightly cropped, and it nails that timeless ranch/workwear vibe. And that boxier fit makes it a good choice for layering.

If you want something closer to true outerwear—not just a “denim jacket with a lining” but an actual go-outside-in-the-cold jacket—Barbour is the move. This one is waxed canvas (the brand signature) and lined in plaid. It’s cozy, comfortable, weatherproof, and basically perfect. Once you put it on, you’ll never not want to wear it.

Another one you’ll want to reach for constantly: the Alex Mill Frontier Jacket. It’s a deep chocolate-brown canvas chore style with that unstructured, easy feel. It’s got some barn jacket elements—bigger pockets, flannel lining—and the color is peak fall. Gorgeous, easy to style, great for layering.

Last is this Frame Utility Jacket. It has the vibe of a denim jacket but in a softer, canvas fabric with no stretch. The fit is boxy and modern, and the collar is actually suede, which brings it into a more elevated price tier, but the effect is worth it. It works over a T-shirt, sweater, or hoodie, and if you’re in a casual office, it’s the kind of jacket you’ll wear every single day.
