{"product_id":"jungle-jacket-bleu-marine-homme","title":"Men's Navy Blue Jungle Jacket","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe navy blue jungle jacket, a colour that never existed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Vietnam War, the US Army dressed its soldiers in jungle fatigues, a tropical outfit worn over the trousers, which gradually replaced the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/OG-107\"\u003eOG-107\u003c\/a\u003e in combat units. This navy blue jungle jacket takes up the first model, called the first pattern: exposed buttons and chest pockets with slanted flaps. The military model was worn in field shades; navy blue was never used. That is a deliberate choice: we keep the architecture and drop the uniform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 96% cotton, 4% wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: made in Morocco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: 1964 first pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: a new colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: a civilian reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA washed, then water-repellent cloth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is woven from 96% cotton and 4% wool. It is first washed, which softens it and gives it a period patina, then receives a discreet water-repellent treatment: water beads on the surface, enough to get through a shower. This treatment does not like fabric softener, which cancels it. The four pockets close with flaps, and the cuffs with a button; all the buttons are corozo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNavy, easier to match\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA faithful military reproduction worn in town quickly reads as fancy dress, especially as the cut of the jungle jacket is recognisable. Navy defuses that reading. It also goes with pieces that khaki resists: grey wool trousers, a beige chino, a black coat, a grey sweatshirt. The jacket can therefore be worn in contexts where its khaki version would clash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne liberty: the sleeves\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern stays that of the first model, down to the drawing of the flaps. The only change is the length of the sleeves, lengthened for a current European build, on which American sizing of the sixties falls short. The jacket is made in Morocco to our specifications, with fabrics and trims from France, Spain and Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight cut, which structures the shoulders with ease and leaves room for a sweatshirt underneath. From S to XXL. Take your usual size: the sleeves have been lengthened for the European build.

No fabric softener, which would cancel the water-repellent treatment, and no tumble dryer. Air dry in the shade; iron at medium heat, on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champ de Manoeuvres","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":39777429979221,"sku":null,"price":185.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":39777430011989,"sku":null,"price":185.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":39777430077525,"sku":null,"price":185.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":39777430110293,"sku":null,"price":185.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":39777430143061,"sku":null,"price":185.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7115\/4005\/files\/tropical-jungle-jacket-marine-champ-de-manoeuvres-1-44261018960205.jpg?v=1789671450","url":"https:\/\/champdemanoeuvres.com\/en-us\/products\/mens-navy-blue-jungle-jacket","provider":"Champ de Manoeuvres ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
