The history of the Donkey Jacket comes from the days when they were standard issued work clothing for construction workers as well as refuse disposal, and had the padding on the shoulders to protect the wool from being scuffed from items such as dust bins and shovels or other items carried on the shoulders. They became a classic clothing item for working class skinheads and have remained so since the 70´s.

Nowadays there are different kinds of Donkey Jacket, unlined jackets with PVC on the shoulders,the tartan lined jackets without the PVC shoulders and even a Jacket with the tartan lining and PVC shoulders
