The "M-43 HBT Jacket" was adopted by the US Army during World War II. There are many different models depending on the era and manufacturing factory, but the rarest of them all are prototypes known as "test samples". These are rare products that were never mass-produced.

This time, we would like to introduce the FATIGUE JACKET MODIFY, which Nigel Cabourn has brought back to life in modern times, inspired by these test samples.

- Military jackets that were highly popular among soldiers -

The M-43 HBT JACKET is one of the most iconic items made by the US Army. The iconic design, featuring cotton herringbone fabric and a large chest pocket, is highly regarded in the modern fashion scene.

The M-43 was created at the request of then President of the United States, Roosevelt, who asked that a good looking work uniform with be made to help recruits. As a result, it was highly popular among soldiers.

This product reproduces the design of such a military jacket in high quality.

 

- True to vintage design -

Features include a gas flap on the inside of the placket, a large gusseted chest pocket, and 13-star buttons.

This product fully incorporates these designs, which are symbols of the M-43 HBT JACKET. The vintage-like atmosphere is only possible thanks to Nigel Cabourn's experience in craftsmanship. We are simply amazed at the level of perfection.

As for the gas flap, it is a kind of "nuisance" that is not used in modern times. However, Nigel Cabourn, who has a deep knowledge of vintage items, could not remove this design.

 

- Unique yet practical side pockets -

The biggest feature of this product is the zip pockets located on both ends of the hem. This is a special feature that is unique to the test samples and is not found in the M-43 HBT JACKET that is currently on the market.

This would have increased functionality by adding pockets on the sides in addition to the distinctive chest pocket, but it seems that this feature was not adopted for some reason.
It may seem like bizarre placement, but this unique idea has become a strong look in the modern fashion scene.

 

- A special fabric called SZ herringbone -

Nigel Cabourn 's "SZ Herringbone" is an original fabric that uses two types of yarn with different twist directions, S twist (clockwise) yarn and Z twist (counterclockwise) yarn, alternately as the warp threads. This results in a unique textured feel that changes over time and is highly durable.

The brand arrived at this fabric composition after discovering the beauty of vintage herringbone fabric used by the US military, after dismantling and studying the fabric.

We hope you will feel the strength that emanates from within the fabric.

NEW BASIC CHINO - BLACK
Item No. 80510050120
Colour : Black
Size : 30 / 32 / 34 / 36 / 38
Wearing Size: 38

For styling, I paired it with the NEW BASIC CHINO PANT from the MAIN LINE BLACK COLLECTION, which was well received by many people in AW25.

When it comes to black pants, I imagine many people buy them with the intention of pairing them with a military jacket, as in this styling.

As you might imagine, this combination may be the perfect solution.

Item No. 80510010001

V01-M WORK VEST - MOLESKIN
Item No. 80511370000
Colour : Dark Navy / Green
Size : 46 / 48 / 50 / 52 / 54 / 56
Wearing Size: 52

As autumn arrives, I would like to recommend styling like this. A vibrant chambray shirt is paired with a navy vest that accentuates masculinity.

It's a classic combination of military jackets in modern fashion, but I think it's fine.
Please give it a try.

 

This product is not just a reproduction, but a piece that pays homage to a rare test sample.

The greatest appeal of this product is that it touches on the deep history of military wear while elevating it into fashionable everyday wear.

This is a military jacket worth talking about.

Finally, we would like to announce the Instagram live broadcast.
