The men's jungle jacket, a jacket for the heat
During the Vietnam War, the US Army dressed its soldiers in jungle fatigues, a tropical outfit worn over the trousers, which gradually replaced the OG-107 in combat units; it heralded the Battle Dress Uniform that would follow. The specification came down to three words: lightness, ventilation, storage. This men's jungle jacket takes up the first model, called the 1st pattern, with its loose cut that lets you move and its pockets designed for use.
Cut and sizing
Loose cut, with drop shoulders and volume in the sleeves, and about 12 cm (4.7 in) of ease around the chest: it wraps without squeezing and can be worn over one or two layers. The sleeves are lengthened to the European standard. Take your usual size; take one size up if you have broad shoulders or to wear it over a thick shirt or sweater. From S to 2XL.
How to wear a men's jungle jacket
Over a chambray shirt, as in our photos: workshop blue and olive answer each other. Over a grey sweatshirt with ecru trousers and a beanie, for mild winter. Open over a T-shirt, in summer. For a water-repellent cloth, see our khaki and navy blue versions.
Care
Machine washable at home: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener, which clogs the fibre and reduces its breathability. Air dry in the shade; iron at medium heat, on the reverse.
Four pockets and tobacco-toned buttons
The jacket has four patch pockets, closed by a buttoned flap, large enough to be really useful. The buttons are corozo, four-hole, slightly domed, in a tobacco tone that answers the olive of the cloth. On the shoulders, buttoned epaulettes take up a regulation detail of the original model.
- Material: light cotton twill woven in France, desaturated sage olive
- Pockets: four patch pockets with buttoned flaps
- Buttons: four-hole corozo, tobacco tone
- Details: buttoned epaulettes, ecru cotton hanging strap
- Origin: assembled in Morocco, finished in France
Patina and durability
In three years, this olive will have turned to the grey-beige of field jackets.
During the Vietnam War, the jungle jacket answered three words: lightness, ventilation, storage. This one takes up the first model, the 1st pattern, in a light sage-olive cotton twill, with original-style buttons, assembled in Morocco and finished in France. Here is how it ages.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
Its desaturated olive gently turns grey-beige, like real field jackets. Four pockets, original epaulettes, a loose cut: it is the summer jacket for those who like pieces with a history.
A strap inside
Inside, a natural ecru cotton hanging strap is kept: an original functional detail you only see when you open the jacket. The topstitching is tone on tone, with no decorative contrast. The assembly uses a French military thread, and the brand label is designed and made in France. The jacket is assembled in Morocco, then finished in France.
An olive twill that fades to grey-beige
The cloth is a light cotton twill, woven in France, in a tight weave with a smooth, slightly lustrous surface. Its shade is a desaturated sage olive green, neither frank khaki nor forest green, in the spirit of OG-107 olive. With washing, it gradually fades toward grey-beige; a controlled patina gives it a soft relief from the start, without weakening the fibre.
