French Army Bush Jacket

This bush jacket is a reproduction of the French Army pattern issued in the 1950s. The original design was standardised after the French Army's experiences in Indochina. It incorporates features from locally tailored bush jackets worn during that conflict.

The bush jacket is made from hard-wearing cotton drill. It is described as having quality fabric. The material is practical and suitable for casual wear.

The leather buttons must be removed before washing. Wash the jacket in cold water and air dry it with cold air to prevent potential shrinkage. The jacket is made from hard-wearing cotton drill.

The jacket comes with removable brown leather ball-type buttons. These buttons are secured with imitation mini-split rings, which allow for easy removal and replacement. Some jackets ship with split rings that are nearly unusable, but cotter pins or small safety pins can be used instead.

Sizing can be inconsistent, with some finding their normal size snug and others finding it too large when ordering a size up. Some jackets fit well when ordering two sizes up, and the fit can be drawn in with a belt. It is possible to order too large, requiring an exchange for a smaller size.

The bush jacket is suitable for casual wear, with some wearing it with white or dark blue trousers for a sporty look. It is also considered a perfect bush jacket for safaris. The jacket is practical and hard-wearing.
