This is a Dutch military wear item, a NATO field jacket. This particular piece is from the 90s, the later production period. After the war, the Netherlands joined NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Due to its historical liberation from German occupation, the Dutch military was said to have been equipped with American weapons. Influenced by this, the Dutch field jacket was developed with the American M43 field jacket as a reference, which is the background for its NATO designation. The diagonally cut pockets are iconic, but even more so than that design, the arm construction, which is sewn up from the armpit, has a pattern that curves the sleeves properly, making it a very excellent construction based on human anatomy. When you put it on, you can feel the fit, while still ensuring a wide range of motion. Furthermore, it has a thick, substantial cotton lining, and the robust sewing makes it a truly impressive piece. The outer shell is made of thick, good-textured cotton satin. The many details mean a lot of fabric overlap, but it is tailored with strong sewing that doesn't mind that. The epaulets have buttons attached at the shoulder seam so they can be folded down on the outside of the sleeve. This is recommended for those who don't like the imposing shoulder build-up caused by epaulets. The fact that the hem of the lower part of the left front body is torn about 15cm may be a concern, but I hope you will accept it as a trace of the individual's vintage history. Because it is a high-density satin cloth, even if some fraying occurs, the untwisting of the threads will act as a stopper each time it is washed, and even if the fraying progresses, it will only be a few millimeters if no stress is applied. ⚫︎Size Marked 96-100 (Equivalent to Japanese women's F size, men's L-XL size) Shoulder width 58cm Body width 63cm Length 82cm Sleeve length 65cm Cuff width 14cm Armhole 32cm ⚫︎Color Olive ⚫︎Material 100% cotton ⚫︎Country of origin Made in the Netherlands ⚫︎Condition There is a tear of about 15cm on the hem of the left front body (photos 9 and 17).
