Navy F2472 N-3 Utility Herringbone Cotton Twill Jacket

Based on the N-3 Utility Jacket adopted by the U.S. Navy in the 1940s, this piece is reimagined for modern everyday wear through FOB Factory's meticulous approach to craftsmanship.  Primarily worn as workwear by personnel serving on the ground, it was made from durable herringbone twill and characterized by a simple construction focused on practical functionality.

Rather than simply reproducing the original details, the fabric has been developed through extensive research, from the yarn to the dyeing process. By deliberately omitting military prints such as "U.S.N," the design softens its military character, making it easy to incorporate into everyday styling.

The seams feature double-needle lap-seam construction, securely joining the fabric with two rows of stitching. Faithful to the details of the original, the jacket is built with the durability needed for years of wear.

Slightly heavier than a typical work shirt, the fabric strikes an ideal balance—easy to throw on like a shirt, yet substantial enough to feel reassuring. In early autumn, wear it over a T-shirt or shirt; as temperatures drop, layer it with a sweatshirt or knitwear.
