65 Utility Blouson - Sumikuro

This Utility Blouson is a reimagined version of the original M-65 field jacket, which was produced for only one year, from 1965 to 1966, and lacks epaulets.

The distinctive mitten-style cuffs have been retained, but now fold outward. The front tabs have been replaced with dot buttons, modernizing the overall details and silhouette.

The material is a high-density cotton-nylon weather-resistant fabric. Despite its double-layered construction, this outerwear is lightweight and comfortable to wear.

The stowable hood is intentionally left closed during dyeing, intentionally leaving areas undyed and uneven, creating a unique texture that differs from piece to piece.

[How to care for Bengala dyed and botanical dyed products]
To enjoy the color fading for as long as possible, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent.
The color may transfer to other items, so wash separately.
Do not use fluorescent agents or bleach.
Dry in the shade after washing.
The color may fade due to contact with citrus juice. If contact occurs, rinse immediately.
Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or lighting may cause discoloration. Store in a dark place, not in direct sunlight.
Bengala dyeing is a dyeing technique that extracts dyes from minerals in the soil. As the dye is similar to minerals, it may react with metal detectors.
As the dye is similar to a pigment, it may rub against the skin when worn or transfer color to innerwear or bags.
