STORY
An original mfsc pattern, the Skipper Jacket is a hybrid combining 50s-60s US military gear and 1970s mountain parka outdoor-type jackets.
We borrowed the cargo pocket pattern from a 1st pattern Tropical Combat Jacket adding ultra-hi-tech Velcro closures. Another military reference is the heavy Crown zipper, often featured on field gear in the 1960s.
Details such as the snap wind-flaps, two-tone hood, leather pull toggles, gusseted wrist cuffs is a nod to 60/40 mountain parka types of 1960s-70s.
This MF garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
