MOMOTARO JEANS Fatigue Jacket - Olive Drab

The jungle fatigue was developed by the US Army in the 1960s for hot, wet conditions in Southeast Asia, and it has been a staple of vintage military collecting ever since. Momotaro based this jacket on a vintage original, then updated the cut for everyday wear.

It is made in the brand's own back sateen, woven from 100% GIZA cotton. Grown in the Nile Delta, Giza is one of the longest staple cottons in production, and it gives the cloth a smoother, denser hand than standard military sateen. The olive drab is piece dyed, so the colour will soften gradually where the jacket takes wear at the cuffs, collar and edges.

Roomier than a field jacket and lighter than a coat, it layers easily as a shirt jacket over a tee or a knit. Wear it with the Momotaro Utility Shirt or a pair of Classic 15.7oz jeans.
