The Walking Dead Jackets

Shop The Walking Dead Jackets and Character-Inspired Vests

When Rick Grimes walked out of that hospital in a worn sheriff's jacket, the look stuck with fans long after the episode ended. It wasn't just survival gear; it was a jacket people actually wanted in their own closet. That's the idea behind our entire collection.

At The Jacket Empire, we've built a range of Walking Dead jackets and vests around the characters fans actually dress as: Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Negan, and the rest of the survivor crew. Whether you're heading to a convention, building out a Halloween look, or just want a well-made jacket with some character behind it, there's something here worth your time.

Explore The Walking Dead TV Series Jackets by Character

Every character here brings a different build to the table, so knowing what each one's made from matters as much as knowing who wore it.

Rick Grimes

The TWD Rick Grimes jacket uses suede leather with a turn-down shearling collar, zippered front, and buttoned cuffs. Two other versions, Season 9 and CRM, carry a rugged finish with sturdy front closures instead. This makes Rick's jacket walking dead collection the range to check first for varied builds under one character.

Daryl Dixon

Inspired by Norman Reedus's Daryl Dixon, this vest is built from faux leather with a smooth viscose lining and skips sleeves for a lighter, layerable build. A back wing detail and side lace-up design set the Daryl Dixon vest apart from the collection's other vests.

The Governor

Inspired by the show's Governor character, genuine leather and a classic button closure shape the Governor leather jacket, while the matching vest trades sleeves for a lighter, sleeveless layer.

Michonne

Inspired by Michonne's presence in the series, a fitted, sleeveless cut defines the Michonne leather vest, built from genuine leather for a closer silhouette than the Governor vest. It works as a standalone layer or under a heavier coat.

Rosita Espinosa

Inspired by Rosita Espinosa's character in the show, subtle stitching runs through this Rosita Espinosa jacket, built from genuine leather in a fitted cut. It suits daily wear more than a bulkier survivalist look, rounding out The Walking Dead jackets in this collection.
