Product Insights
A direct descendant of Eisenhower's WWII field jacket, this 85 CAD unlined shell uses triple-stitched seams and a heavy-duty brass zipper — matching the longevity of work jackets priced 50% higher — in a 65/35 poly-cotton twill that resists wrinkles and scuffs, is machine-washable, and fits over sweaters or hoodies. Its waist tabs allow a boxy-to-fitted silhouette, while the breathable, wind-resistant fabric molds to the body over time. The tradeoff: it lacks water resistance, which actually enhances its utility as a mid-layer and extends its seasonality, offering year-round versatility at a value that beats costlier alternatives.
