Lot 2208 - N-1 Winter Jacket Hook Front Blood Chit - Navy Blue
This tends to happen in a world of "new," but we can honestly say we've never been so excited for a Warehouse lineup. 98% of that excitement was for the jackets. They've always crushed denim, but we didn't know they could make jackets like this. They're absolutely as stunning in person as they are in pictures. The Lot 2183 has been faithfully reproduced with a bit of a twist. They've added both a front and back leather patch to mimic the infamous "Blood Chit" used by soldiers in need of assistance. These were always hand-painted, but have been updated to this this painted patched leather version. The Chinese reads "This foreigner has come to China to help in the war effort. Soldiers and civilians, one and all, should rescue and protect him" This baby is built from an archival piece in their collection that originally had a hand-painted Grumman aircraft on the back. We've opted for the No-Print in order to clean the back up a bit. This piece is based on the Contract NXss 22036. With this piece, they changed from the zipper front to the hook closure - something to which we were instantly drawn. This version is built with only a single clip on the hem which is drawn from a United States Coast Guard model. The last version sold so quickly, that we had to snag this new updated version!
These, like their Khaki counterparts, are made from our love language fabric - Jungle Cloth. It's a high-density woven fabric that has wales and is better known as whipcord. Also a change-up from the Aviator Jacket, these are fully lined with Melton wool. They do also feature the eyelets in the arms for breathability. The final two features are those classic "D" shaped pockets and the US Navy stamp on the rear.
- High-Density Selvedge Jungle Cloth
- Sulphur Dyed
- 100% Cotton
- 90% Melton Wool 10% Nylon Lining
- Horsehide Blood Chit Backing
- 6 Clip Front
- Armpit Eyelets
- Knitted Wool Collar, Cuffs & Waistband
- U.S. Navy Stamp
- Made in Japan
| Size | 38 | 40 | 42 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pit to pit | 22.5 | 23.5 | 24.25 |
| Shoulder | 18 | 18.5 | 19 |
| Sleeve | 27.5 | 28 | 28.75 |
| Total Length | 26.5 | 27.25 | 27.75 |
A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a size 40 in the pics. His typical North American size is a medium and large in Japanese goods. These, like their inspiration, are built with a roomier "one size fits a broader range of people" motto. You can see the pit-to-pit is rather large in the size 38 in order to fit extra layers underneath. The 40 was slightly roomy, but perfectly styled fit for Tommy. He is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
Dry clean or spot clean only.
