Style Guide
History of an Icon
Born of necessity and built for utility, the twill field jacket was designed 80 years ago with duty in mind. Rugged details, such as snapped closures, roomy exterior pockets, and a zip front were purpose-built for functionality. Today, this timeless jacket pays homage to a modern lifestyle.
