Recreation of a Classic Jacket Fabric
This jacket features a recreated cord cloth used in the so-called “N-1 DECK JACKET” issued to U.S. Navy soldiers from the 1940s to the 1950s. The fabric is characterized by its slightly stiff texture and rugged appearance. It is woven densely and thickly using threads of varying thickness in the warp and weft, resulting in a fabric that excels in durability, wind resistance, and warmth.
Balanced Minimal Details
The collar is set slightly wider for a relaxed feel. The collar offers a comfortable fit around the neck without feeling tight, even when buttoned up.
It features an inner pocket on the right chest and patch pockets around the waist, providing ample storage capacity for small outings without needing a bag. The practical details typical of work jackets are faithfully reproduced.
The cuffs are designed to be easily adjustable for added variation.
The brand’s original tack buttons with double prongs and rivets on the pocket openings also add a tough, rugged touch.
The jacket features a boxy silhouette with moderate room in the shoulders and body width, achieving a well-balanced size that is not overly large. The authentic design and rugged fabric make this a versatile item that can be enjoyed in various outfits throughout the seasons, despite its single-layer construction.
