Field Jacket – Olive C/N Oxford

The Field Jacket is a new addition to the Needles lineup, though one could be forgiven for thinking that this is a piece from Nepenthes sibling brand Engineered Garments, given the generous pocket and button placement. Alas, this is a pure Needles piece that draws from military inspiration and is reinterpreted into a practical shirt-jacket cut.

On the material front, the cotton and nylon blend body is reminiscent of the olive drab worn by service people out in battlefields around the world, but this Needles version will unlikely see frontline use. Snaps galore and bellowed chest pockets provide practical touches to an already very wearable garment.
