The Algerian Field Jacket is soon to become your favorite outerwear piece. Based on a circa ‘58 Algerian Lizard pattern camouflage jacket that was issued to the French Foreign Legion, this jacket has features that are as functional today as they were then. Thanks to our friend, LTC Robert K. Brown (US Army, retired), we had the opportunity to thoroughly field test an original example. Using that jacket as a starting point, we now have the most versatile jacket in the market today.
We started with extremely durable and wear resistant 9 ounce 100% cotton herringbone twill. To further enhance durability, the fabric is treated with DuPont Teflon® fabric protector offering a breathable, durable barrier that repels both water and oil based spills. The jacket is garment-washed for a soft, broken-in feel.
On the jacket front, there are four bellows pockets. They feature drain holes at the bottom of the pockets, elastic webbing on the inside to secure smaller items like magazines or a flashlight, and tuckable flaps with hook-and-loop fastener on both the inside and outside of the pocket. The top pockets also each feature a vertical zippered security pocket. On the left sleeve there is a zippered pocket as well as a pen holder. The front of the jacket secures with a hidden zipper and hook-and-loop closure system. The zipper is strategically placed to keep the jacket closed yet still allow you freedom of motion. There are four internal pockets with elastic loops for securing additional gear. Underarm vent holes offer maximum air flow. Other features include a drawstring bottom with cordlock and elastic cuffs with adjustable button closure. The style of the Algerian Field Jacket is timeless and looks equally good on the street or in the field.
