Straight from the Informale Archive, the J043 is based on a vintage original 1943 U.S. Navy Type N-3 Jacket.

Using the original collar shape, which is emphasised to show its subtle curved point, and cut so the front panels naturally roll out like a tailored jacket lapel. Cut slightly oversized with an extended shoulder line to emphasize its military roots. The three exterior patch pockets are the same size and shape as the original 1943 version, which happens to be the same “wine glass” shape used in Neapolitan tailoring.

Using hardwearing Japanese-made metal buttons due to their clean look and long-lasting nature. For the fabric, a 1940’s Military reproduction fabric has been chosen because of its classic lightweight HBT (Herringbone Twill).
