This vintage-inspired jacket features a robust West Point Uniform Twill cotton outer and cozy wool blanket lining, making it perfect for transitional weather. With a boxy silhouette rooted in early 1940s US Army design, it includes durable elements such as a Mil Spec zipper and functional slash pockets. Ribbed cuffs and waistband provide comfort and protection against the breeze, while large back pleats allow for easy movement, making it an ideal all-weather companion.
From the brand: Boasting a durable ‘West Point Uniform Twill’ cotton outer shell, and a warming wool blanket lining, this new offering from Buzz Rickson’s is deceptive in its credentials. This jacket has the feel of a lightweight season piece, but packs a lot of punch when it comes to warming qualities. With a short and boxy shape, this simple design has origins in the early 1940’s US Army, and boasts original, durable features to ensure that it will stand the test of time.
A full front fastening comes in the form of a Mil Spec zipper, slash side pockets have been added for functionality, and large back pleats allow for superior comfort and freedom of movement. The brand have included ribbed cuffs and waistband on this design for the perfect comfort fit and protection from the wind.
This lesser known piece of military design makes a great addition to the collection, and serves as an ideal ‘all-weather’ jacket.
