This jacket draws from the original M-42 worn by US mountain troops during WWII, designed for harsh alpine conditions. The reversible construction served a clear purpose in the field, with olive drab for standard combat and white for snow camouflage.
Pherrow’s keeps that functionality intact but adjusts the proportions for modern wear. The slightly shorter length and removal of the fur trim make it far easier to style in everyday settings, without losing its military character.
The cotton poplin is tightly woven and noticeably crisp, with a subtle sheen that elevates it beyond standard reproduction outerwear.
