Inspired by the jackets issued to US servicemen in the 1940s, our whipcord tanker jacket is designed to offer authentic military style with functionality for everyday wear. For this FW26 update, we've opted to use a reactive-dyed fabric, the same as that found on our signature N1 deck jacket. This replaces the sulphur-dyed whipcord that featured on previous versions of this jacket, resulting in a richer shade of khaki and ensuring longer-lasting colour.
As with all our military cuts, this isn’t a strict reproduction piece — the classic tanker silhouette has been given a typical Iron Heart overhaul. Along with the tough whipcord outer shell, we’ve added a weather-resistant Japanese Ventile lining for a layer of protection against wind and rain, while remaining lightweight and highly breathable.
- 100% cotton
- Twill weave
- Woven with hard twisted yarns
Hard twisted yarns are spun with a high degree of twist, which makes them stiffer and stronger. This type of yarn is used to weave whipcord (“Jungle Cloth”) fabrics, increasing durability and resistance to abrasion.
- Reactive-dyed warp
In weaving, the weft is the term for the thread or yarn which is drawn through the warp yarns to create cloth. Warp is the lengthwise or longitudinal thread in a roll, while the weft is the transverse thread. A single thread of the weft, crossing the warp, is called a pick. Terms do vary (for instance, in North America, the weft is sometimes referred to as the fill or the filling yarn).
