Buzz Rickson's BR12744 Dungaree Jumper - Navy Size:XL Made from rope dyed indigoFirst issued in 1901, with originals now fetching some seriously eye watering prices on the vintage market, the USN Dungaree Jumper is an iconic, unique piece of military history. Issued until the end of the 1940's, the jacket features a distinct shawl collar (with no pointed tip, the collar doesn't blow around when exposed to strong winds), denim construction, square patch pockets, and, prior to WWII metal rationing, removable painted brass buttons.
