Comparing Three FEM “70712 TRUCKER JACKET” Models
Far East Manufactureing, commonly known as FEM, offers the “70712 TRUCKER JACKET” as one of its signature styles.
The indigo denim version made its debut for the Spring/Summer 2026 season, and for Autumn/Winter 2026, two new fine-wale corduroy versions have been added in Brown and Light Gray.
Although all three models share the same basic silhouette, the difference in fabric and color gives each one a distinctly different look and feel.
Here, we compare the Indigo Denim, Corduroy Brown, and Corduroy Light Gray versions and take a closer look at what makes each one unique.
The 70712 Silhouette: The Foundation of All Three Models
All three versions are based on the same “70712” silhouette, inspired by a classic 1970s trucker jacket.
While retaining the vintage character of a traditional trucker jacket, the body length has been set slightly longer and the width kept relatively clean and streamlined.
Rather than simply reproducing a vintage fit, the balance has been adjusted to work naturally with modern trousers, inner layers, and everyday styling.
The Starting Point: 14oz Indigo Denim
The first version to appear was the “70712 TRUCKER JACKET” in indigo denim, introduced for the Spring/Summer 2026 season.
The jacket is made from 14oz sanforized denim supplied by RESOLUTE, the same fabric used for its Lot 712 jeans.
It has a substantial feel typical of 14oz denim, while the sanforized finish helps reduce shrinkage and makes it practical for everyday wear.
One of the biggest attractions of the denim model is, of course, the way it changes with wear.
As the jacket is worn over time, natural fading and creasing begin to appear around the sleeves, body, and seams, gradually developing into a unique individual character.
For those looking for a classic trucker jacket that will age beautifully over time, the Indigo Denim version is the most straightforward choice.
When worn, the slightly longer body length and the clean fit through the body become even easier to appreciate.

Classic and Warm: Corduroy Brown
For Autumn/Winter 2026, FEM introduced a new version of the trucker jacket made from fine-wale corduroy.
The basic 70712 silhouette remains unchanged, but the fabric has been replaced with 100% cotton fine-wale corduroy.
Among the three models, the Brown version has the most classic and traditional feel.
The fine ridges of the corduroy create subtle shadows across the surface, while the fabric itself adds warmth and softness that give the jacket a calmer expression than denim.
The 100% cotton fabric also has a soft hand, while the fine wale gives the surface a subtle sheen and extra depth.
It works especially well with indigo denim, chinos, military trousers, and wool trousers, making it a strong option for classic autumn and winter styling.

Clean and Light: Corduroy Light Gray
Even though it uses the same fine-wale corduroy, the Light Gray version gives the jacket a very different impression.
It retains the warmth and texture of corduroy, but the lighter color keeps the overall look from feeling too heavy. Among the three models, this is the cleanest and most contemporary option.
As light hits the fine ridges of the fabric, subtle shadows appear across the surface, giving the simple gray color a sense of depth and dimension.
It pairs naturally with darker trousers such as indigo denim or black, while also working well with olive, beige, and other earth tones.
For those who like the look of a classic trucker jacket but want something a little lighter and more refined, the Light Gray version is an especially interesting option.

The Same 70712 Shape, Three Different Personalities
Indigo Denim, Corduroy Brown, and Corduroy Light Gray.
The basic silhouette is shared across all three models, but the fabric and color completely change the character of each jacket.
Choose Indigo Denim if you want a classic trucker jacket that will develop rich fading and character over time.
Choose Corduroy Brown for a warmer, more classic autumn and winter look.
Choose Corduroy Light Gray for a cleaner, lighter and more contemporary style.
There is no single best choice. The appeal of these three models is that each one works differently depending on your usual trousers, inner layers, and preferred style.
With the Indigo Denim version introduced for Spring/Summer and the two Corduroy versions added for Autumn/Winter, all three are now available to compare side by side.
We hope you will take a closer look at the differences in fabric, color, and overall atmosphere.
