MILITARY 1965 COAT

TEXT

Re-issue of Military 1965 Field Coat

Updated by hamansutra with all the secrets, details and transformations. The jacket feature detachable reflective cat’s eyes. Available in Denim Blue and Military Olive. Labels made of calf leather, denim from Italy and Cooper buttons from Paris. Our products are made by the best specialist manufacturers. Note that all my clothing comes with washing instructions. The denim was produced by an Italian textile weaver, transforming finest old cotton into new upcycled denim fabric. Made according to German military specifications.

Created Exclusively on Union Special Machines

Political Terms Story
In political terms, war clothing has no positive associations. Because the arms industry is awash with money, military clothing is made to be timeless and functional down to the last and tiniest detail. Clothing, not fashion. This M65 jacket actually won awards. Whatever. This is engineering work, the only type I like. Of course the US military pays out huge amounts for product placement to see the products worn by actors in movies. International marketing. “Taxi Driver”, “Rambo I” and “Terminator I”. The idea behind my stripped-back product modernization and styling is to restore positive associations to the “Originals – Updated”. But if you poke the bear you’ve got to be ready for its bite. The United States Armed Forces and M65 Jacket (1965) bears the responsibility for every murder in Vietnam because it was worn there. US soldiers were told to “shoot anything that moves”. “Body Count”. Rapper ICE-T formed the band “Body Count” in 1992 and whipped up a scandal with the track “Cop Killer”, which was banned immediately. By the US Government. Irony?

Clothing works + Hot War = Pure performance

Germany’s tailoring and textile industries used to be world class – especially their engineering. And the way people dressed. Yep, the personalities from way back then are what we’re missing today. In-depth anatomy studies and life drawings were paramount in producing patterns of mathematical accuracy. These clothing items are still copied today. And let’s not even start on military clothing. Today, Germany’s clothing industry has lost it. They don’t want to get their fingers dirty, I guess. What’s that you ask? What are all those sewing machines for? A man at a Singer sewing machine is like a woman on a Harley Davidson? Sneers like that only prove just who’s responsible for the decline of tailoring and for its dusty image. When people like that try to talk tailoring to me, I take the greatest pleasure in reducing them to matchwood. The finest German machines and the tailoring heritage were sold abroad for a pittance. Generation after generation abandoned the art of tailoring. The catastrophic result? Tailors that look like accountants. Not a spark of fashion awareness anywhere you look. But don’t you worry – all your agencies will be bankrupt soon enough.

Advertising agencies + hot air = earning your money.
