{"product_id":"veste-militaire-homme-en-toile-de-tente","title":"Men's Military Jacket, Tent Canvas","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA military jacket cut from an object, not from a roll\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis men's military jacket is not made from new cloth but from an object: old Russian army tent canvases and tarpaulins, taken down, washed, then recut one by one. These canvases were made to withstand weather, abrasion and outdoor use. They were not designed to be seen but to serve. What you are buying has already had a life, and it shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe pattern follows the canvas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe principle is called \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Upcycling\"\u003eupcycling\u003c\/a\u003e: reusing an existing material without grinding it up or remelting it. The canvas is cut as it is, in the state time has left it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tarpaulin has its own fading, its repairs and its lighter areas where it took the sun. The pattern therefore adapts to the canvas, not the other way round: the opposite of industrial production, where the cloth adapts to the pattern. Wear marks, creases and old repairs become details of the jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo armies on the same jacket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe olive drab buttons do not come from new production: they come from dormant US Army stock. Two materials from two armies that stood on opposite sides end up on the same garment, which is why we speak of a pacified piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA one-off piece, literally\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phrase is often used wrongly. Here it is literal: two jackets cannot be identical, because they come from different areas of different canvases. One will have a fold mark across the back, another a paler shade on a sleeve. Each piece is numbered by hand, and the series will end when the stock of canvas does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should hear this before buying: if you are looking for a new, even jacket, this is not the one. The irregularities are not flaws, they are the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoose, structured cut, designed as an extension of the canvas rather than an ideal construction. From S to XXL. Take your usual size; the volume lets you wear it over a knit.
