The Road Worn True – Spring Collection
America was built on the open road. From the steel giants hauling freight across the Midwest to the factory workers shaping raw materials into something greater, the backbone of this country has always been its working hands. The trucker’s life is one of resilience—early mornings, long hauls, and a commitment to the job that keeps the nation moving. At Cook + Kane, Inc., we honor that spirit with a collection that speaks to those who live by their own grit and determination.
This spring, we introduce a collection forged in the traditions of American craftsmanship and the hardworking ethos of the road. Our double-prong trucker belt and long wallet with lanyard are made for those who know the value of well-worn leather—crafted from Horween Chromexcel in deep burgundy and black, as well as Wickett & Craig American Vachetta, a natural vegetable-tanned leather that tells a story with every mile. Burgundy, a color long associated with royalty and prestige, carries with it an unspoken presence—one of quiet power and timeless refinement. Worn by kings and craftsmen alike, it represents a balance of strength and tradition, much like the American trucker himself.
At the heart of this collection is something truly special—our bespoke leather trucker jackets, inspired by the classic Levi’s denim jacket but reimagined in Horween’s finest leathers. Each one is custom-made to the individual, built not just to fit but to become a second skin. These jackets are rare, made in small numbers for those who understand the value of something made just for them. A tailored jacket, like a well-traveled road, is personal—shaped by experience, molded by the journey. (Available for Bespoke Orders Only)
This collection is personal, too. My roots run deep in the trucking world, as a proud member of the Teamsters Union—an organization that has stood for the rights of the working class for over a century. Chicago is a city built by labor—by truckers, steelworkers, and craftsmen whose work shaped the skyline and the streets below it. From the stockyards to the railyards, from the towering steel bridges to the leather shops of old, Chicago is a place where industry and artistry have always gone hand in hand.
Like the legendary roads stretching from the heart of Chicago to the wide expanse beyond, this collection is about freedom, hard work, and the pride of something made right. These pieces are more than just leather and stitching; they are heirlooms in the making, built for the journey ahead.
