Timeless classic: Lois Tejana cord jacket (image credit: Stuarts Of London)
A classic of the 1970s and ‘80s, the Lois Tejana cord jacket is still popular today, especially at this time of year.

Lois is a strange label. It was literally everywhere back in the day, with this jacket proving popular in the 1970s and well into the 1980s. But then the label seemed to disappear. Presumably, it didn’t – other denim labels just got a lot more coverage than Lois. I blame all those expensive Levi’s ads in the mid-1980s. It never full recovered.

But it never completely went away. Lois has gradually made its way back in the public eye, doing pretty much what it did decades back. Producing the kind of designs that never really go in or out of fashion. Clothing for any era. Like this jacket, which has been a popular pick over the last few years and is back once more for spring ’25.

Stuarts of London seems to be the main place in the UK keeping the fire burning. I’m not sure I’ve seen the full range anywhere else. And Stuarts also tends to get a few exclusives in too. You might recall the pastel shades of cord jacket last year.

That’s not the case this year, with the bright colours seemingly off the menu. But the good news is that the ‘classic’ shades are available once more in a full range of sizes.

Most of the choice is in the thin cord variation, but if you want a jumbo cord, there are a couple of colours of that too. I don’t mind a jumbo cord, but it is veery much of its era. The thin cord is more of a timeless finish. It’s your choice.

The design has barely changed since the 1970s. That means a ‘Western’ trucker jacket with front pleats, buttoned tab adjusters at the hem and four pockets – two buttoned flap pockets at the chest and two side pockets. There are also branded gold-coloured buttons, some suede signature branding to the hem at the front left, and some woven tab branding on the left-hand chest pocket.
A regular fit for each too, and a short length that you would expect from this kind of jacket.

If you fancy sticking one on when the sun goes in over the spring and summer months (this is perfect to slip on in the evenings), then you can pick one up now for a price between £110 and £120, depending on the colour/finish you opt for. That compares well to other similar brands.
