Type 1 Marine Battle Jacket. ( PRE-ORDER)

Type 1 Marine battle jacket.

Given my career history it’s only natural that I come at my new Type 1 Marine Battle Jacket with reference to my background in denim. Tasked by the USMC Quartermaster with providing Leathernecks with a shorten battle jacket to add to their field utilities, I was inspired by the concept of a battle version of the Vandergrift Jacket, a shorten waist length garment that gained popularity post Guadalcanal and custom tailored on RnR in Melbourne Australia around 1942. Using a popular shilouette from the early 40’s I based this jacket around a 506XX single pocket indigo style but completely reimagined it in Olive Drab HBT and replaced the less than function small open chest pocket with the much larger pocket pulled from the P-44 Utility jacket.

I’ve also incorporated a T-back panel at the rear, again with reference to the original 506 which featured this detail as a result of production efficiencies on sizes 46” and above. Blackened donut buttons and a distinct gyrene appearance makes this jacket a practical and awesome acquisition in a theatre where the climate dictates  outfitting first and foremost. Worn back with the Papa’s battle beach togs we arrive at tropical styling at its most rugged and practical,  ensuring uncontested control of coastal terrains.

Im offering an exclusive preorder opportunity on this new jacket. Delivery is expected early 2027 for Spring.
