We had S&S Writer/Contributor Charles McFarlane come talk about the iconic Jacket, Combat, Winter, aka the "Tanker Jacket" with us at our NYC shop. Arguably less flashy than some of the other standout styles of WWII, it was easily one of the most popular amongst servicemen, and continues to live on today in popular culture and media.

S&S Writer/Contributor Charles McFarlane stopped by our NYC shop to talk about some of the history and design behind the M-1943 Field Jacket. One of the most iconic and influential garments of the last 100 years, it revolutionized military uniforms in its own time and has stayed relevant since, finding new life in civilian markets & shaping much of contemporary menswear.
