STORY
An original mfsc pattern, the Skipper Jacket is a hybrid combining 50’s-60’s US military gear and 1970’s 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 1960’s.
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 1960’s-70’s.
This MF® garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom® and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
