Modern American surplus which saw general issue throughout Iraq war by American forces. Being the standard uniform these were made for all types of activity and are particularly tough while still being comfortable. This particular jacket belonged to a member of the US Air Force who had climbed the ranks quite well and served in the Air Mobility Command, a major command which is vital in providing humanitarian support and logistics to where ever it be needed.
The jacket has a few handy featured like adjustable sleeve cuffs. There is also plenty of storage capacity with 4 good sized pockets, all of which can be buttoned shut. For longevity the jacket is made of a ripstop cotton material and includes reinforced elbow pads.
The camouflage pattern is the now defunct US tri-colour desert pattern, which got the nickname "coffee stain" pattern due to the various brown splodges throughout. It had a relatively short shelf life given how long it took to develop, but is still an excellent camouflage to this day.
