Advisor Jacket Erdl Camo

The pattern of the MF® ADVISOR Jacket was adapted from a vintage local-made mid 60s windbreaker, cut from a late 60s US Army ERDL poncho liner. As always, we are not going for a replica, so the design of the MF® “ADVISOR” is not about regulation field uniforms or authentic US Gov-issued period gear. Instead, we played around with the concept of a fictitious in-country tailor-made jacket that one could strut on R&R. SPECS PATTERN: Original MFSC pattern, inspired by a 1960s zipper jacket, and the US military tradition of local-made custom garments. Vintage Mil-Specs 100% cotton rip-stop fabric, 6.8 Oz, Vietnam era ERDL Lowland camo pattern. DETAILS: * Classic 1960s windbreaker stand collar zip jacket style. * Raglan sleeve pattern. * Unlined, all clean seams (no overlock.) * 50s/60s-style “Universal” metal zipper with cotton tape, bell-shaped pull. * Rear panel elastic waistband cinch. * Two concealed chest pockets cut from vintage NOS “emergency orange/signal yellow” rip-stop, for iPhone or sunglasses. * Classic USN-style “fouled anchor” CPO plastic buttons on cuffs/collar. * Original mfsc “FROGSVILLE” woven rayon label. SIZING/FIT We recommend this usual protocol before wear: Turn garment inside-out. Cold soak for about 30-40mn with occasional hand agitation. Washing machine spin dry. CL's Advice: I opted for a 38 (Medium) for a comfortable fit (5.7’’ / approx. 150 lbs). Compare measurements with an unlined jacket of similar style you own and that fits you well to dial-in the size that will work best for you, according to your silhouette preference and layering habits. CARE Launder when needed. We recommend turning the jacket inside-out to avoid potential marbling of the fabric.

The pattern of the MF® ADVISOR Jacket was adapted from a vintage local-made mid 60s windbreaker, cut from a late 60s US Army ERDL poncho liner. We tweaked the pattern, details and fit to our liking, and opted for two distinct fabrics. We added two concealed iPhone/sunglasses pockets on the zip placket, cut from a contrast “signal yellow/emergency orange” twill.
