PME Legend jackets and jeans: built to last, tailored for comfort

Inspired by the cargo pilot

PME Legend stands for freedom, masculinity and adventure. The brand brings these values to life through a strong, unmistakable image: the rugged cargo pilot and his classic American propeller aircraft. Cargo pilots operate in extreme, demanding conditions, so their clothing has to stand up to cold, wind and rain—while staying comfortable on long flights. You’ll see this reflected straight away in the designs, the quality of the fabrics, the iconic badges and the finishing details.

Which PME Legend jacket suits you?

With PME Legend, quality and comfort come first. What feels best to wear depends on the weather, the occasion and the rest of your outfit. Below, you’ll see which PME jacket works best for each situation:

• You cycle to the office every day
  The Strator is mid-length, won’t get in the way on your bike and has a clean, put-together look. You can easily detach the hood once the weather improves. Prefer something sportier? Then the Gobbler puffer jacket is a great choice. Both jackets will shrug off a rain shower. Go for dark PME jeans with a straight or slightly tapered leg and pair with a shirt or knit for a business casual look.

• You’re outdoors a lot, rain or shine
  The Crewcat and the Conestoga are technical jackets that offer the best protection against rain and wind. The Crewcat features heat-sealed quilting and a windcatcher. The Conestoga is made from durable ripstop fabric and comes with a hood. Ideal when you need to walk the dog in bad weather. Wear them with sturdy Wingload jeans and finish the outfit with waterproof boots.

• It’s seriously cold
  PME Legend has several jackets in the collection that are made for real winter conditions. Want a style that covers your hips? Go for a long parka like the Hydropacker with wax finish or the B-9 Aviation parka. Prefer something you can adapt to the weather? The Snowpack and Rock-Pack are great options: on milder days you can easily remove the faux-fur collar or lining.

• You want to look sharp in the city
  The PME Cargo Glider is a quilted flight jacket with rugged details that’s easy to style. The Yetcraft is a puffer jacket with a mélange outer fabric and knitted cuffs, giving it a slightly softer look and extra warmth. Because these jackets sit at the waist, your jeans stand out more. Choose a dark wash and cuff the hem once. Finish with sneakers or leather boots.

• You like layering
  The Gobbler bodywarmer is ideal for wearing loosely over a hoodie or knit. When temperatures drop, wear it under a jacket as an extra warm mid-layer. Thanks to the detachable hood, it also works perfectly as an outer layer. A bodywarmer keeps your legs and hips free, so it pairs with almost any jeans.

Which PME Legend jeans suit you best?

Just like with jackets, choosing PME Legend jeans starts with a few questions: where are you going, what will you be doing, and what will the weather be like? Below, we highlight the models available:

Which jeans fit works with which jacket?

The rule of thumb is simple: the more volume your jacket has, the more room your jeans can have. A long parka or chunky puffer worn with super-skinny jeans can make your upper body look heavy fast. A short, tailored jacket is better paired with straight-leg or slim jeans.
