FOB FACTORY / US Army PO JKT

Turning Classic Jackets into a Work Aesthetic
This jacket is tailored with twill fabric to recreate the atmosphere of the denim pullover jackets that were adopted by the United States Army in the 1930s.

The fabric used contains slub yarn and nep yarn. Furthermore, by deliberately leaving cotton husks, it faithfully reproduces the vintage work twill fabric. We want you to enjoy wearing it without worrying about dirt, and adding your own touch to it.

FOB FACTORY
FOB FACTORY is a brand based in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, one of Japan’s leading production centers, that draws inspiration from vintage styles and focuses on workwear, military wear, and jeans. They aim to create clothing that their customers will still appreciate three years after purchase.

Atmospheric Twill Fabric
The fabric is made of 100% cotton twill, which has a rich texture. By using slub yarn with a count of 12 for the warp and nep yarn with a count of 10 for the weft, it exudes a natural texture.

Furthermore, deliberately leaving cotton husks on the fabric surface reproduces the rough appearance seen in vintage twill fabric. Cotton husks refer to the leftover leaves, stems, and seed shells that are not completely removed when harvesting cotton. They remain on the fabric surface as spots or grains, serving as a testament to the use of organic cotton with minimal chemical processing.

In addition, stone wash processing is applied to make the fabric slightly softer, so it has a soft texture from the beginning, and you can enjoy the aging process as you wear it over time.

Faithfully Reproducing the Original
The design is based on the denim pullover jacket adopted by the United States Army in the 1930s. It faithfully reproduces the details that would have been created for workwear rather than combat gear.

The front features a half-button design, allowing you to expand your coordination options by opening and closing the buttons according to your innerwear. Furthermore, the buttons are engraved with “U.S. ARMY,” showing attention to detail.

There are two large pockets on both chest sides, which are the main feature. They are placed parallel to the front buttons, making it easy to access and convenient for storing items like smartphones.

There are two buttons on the cuffs, allowing for adjustable fitting according to your preference. Additionally, side slits are added for ease of movement.

The relaxed silhouette provides just the right amount of space. The slightly shorter length prevents it from looking too bulky.

You can enjoy various styles depending on your innerwear, such as layering with a shirt, revealing a striped shirt, and showcasing unique aspects of a pullover.
