The Mendon Shirt Jacket draws inspiration from the U.S. Navy's standard uniform for Chief Petty Officers, which became one of the most iconic jackets for American soldiers during World War II. Freenote Cloth built their rendition from a custom 9.5oz wool blend, lined at the yoke and sleeves for comfort, and sewn in the USA with corozo fisheye buttons. The result is a shirt jacket that carries its military roots into everyday rotation—rugged, versatile, and built to last.
