Condition Details:

• Fabric: Authentic 1968-era ripstop Cotton Poplin. The fabric retains its original factory sheen and vibrant OG-107 color.

• Unwashed: This jacket has never seen a washing machine. It still retains the original "long tails" of factory thread dangling from the seams—details that are instantly lost after the first wash.

• Crispness: The material is stiff and "snappy" to the touch.

• Markings: Features original period handwriting on the manufacturer label - possibly a classic laundry mark, indicating it was processed for issue but tucked away as a spare and never worn.

• Note: As it was pulled from a decades-old footlocker, it has a slight vintage storage scent that will naturally dissipate with air.
