Everything about Donkey Jacket totally explained
A
Donkey jacket is a short buttoned
coat, typically made of unlined black or dark blue
woollen material; originally worn as a work jacket in the
United Kingdom.
Often, there's a plastic panel covering the shoulder-blade areas. This panel can be plain black or grey, or fluorescent orange or yellow for conspicuity and for night use. When used as a work jacket, it sometimes bears the name of the company which supplies the jacket, or the name of the company for which the wearer works. The jacket usually has two spacious hip pockets, and occasionally an inside
poacher's pocket.
The donkey jacket is regarded as typical of the British manual worker. It is also favoured by traditionalist
skinheads. Former British
Labour Party leader
Michael Foot was pilloried for supposedly wearing a donkey jacket at a
remembrance day wreath laying ceremony, and he was shown wearing one on several covers of the satirical magazine
Private Eye; it was in actuality a "very expensive short overcoat" chosen by his wife.
