Dean's Leather Jacket

Dean's Leather Jacket has become an iconic part of the character. Before it belonged to Dean Winchester, it belonged to John Winchester - so there's no telling how old the leather is, how many battles the jacket has actually seen – it is well worn and beautiful. Dean wears it whenever he knows there’s no danger of it getting ruined. It’s really Dean’s superhero signature look.

Ownership

• In the 1.01 Pilot Dean picks the leather jacket up off of a pile of clothes that John left behind, after he showers in John's abandoned motel room. Thereafter, the jacket remains in Dean's possession.

• In 4.13 After School Special we see Dean wearing the jacket as a senior in high school.

• Dean states in 3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me that Dean's "favorite leather jacket" used to belong to his father. We never actually see John wear the leather jacket. He wears a similar jacket in the flashback in 1.18 Something Wicked, but it has different buttons and a horizontal seam across the breast that Dean's leather jacket does not have.

Stolen

In September 2010 new promo shots were being done for the upcoming Season 6. The shoot was in L.A. and the wardrobe was flown down from Vancouver a few days before, and was stolen somewhere along the way. Items taken included one of Castiel’s trench coats and Dean's Leather Jacket. Although wardrobe had replacements for Castiel's trenchcoat, Dean's Leather Jacket was sadly one of a kind.

Brand/Make

Dean's Leather Jacket appears to be a Wilsons Leather/M.Julian.

New Jacket

In the last two episodes of season 7, Dean is seen wearing a new leather jacket which he wears while killing Dick Roman and getting dragged into Purgatory. He even hides the Leviathan-killing bone inside one of the pockets with the fake bone in the other. While he is not shown wearing it after leaving Purgatory, the jacket is briefly seen in a flashback when he first meets Benny in Purgatory.
