Lot JG-20 - Parka Sailor's Pullover - Off-White

The JG-20 Sailor’s Parka is John Gluckow’s faithful take on the original USN decontamination suit top, built to layer over uniforms during cleaning and maintenance aboard Navy ships. It carries that unmistakable naval utility feel, roomy, practical, and purpose-driven. Historically, many of these were overdyed at sea for waterproofing and chemical resistance, then later filtered into surplus markets where schools and teams reworked them into colorful athletic gear. This Off-white version leans closest to the original natural tone. Cut from #10 x #10 selvedge twill, the fabric has real structure and density, but the one-wash finish takes the edge off so it feels ready from day one. Original nut buttons keep the details period-correct and understated. It’s the kind of piece that looks better with use, whether you stencil your name inside like the sailors did or just let it pick up its own history. #10 x #10 selvedge twill 100% cotton One wash USN decontamination parka reproduction Pullover construction Hooded design Original nut buttons Off-white color Made in Japan Tag Size Chest Shoulder Length Sleeve 36 (S) 24 18.1 26 24.4 38 (M) 24.8 18.9 26.8 24.8 40 (L) 25.6 19.7 27.6 25.6 42 (XL) 26.4 20.5 28.3 26.4 44 (XXL) 27.2 21.3 28.3 26.4 A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance. Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a size 40 in the pictures. This one is pretty large, as you can see from the pictures. This one fit pretty well in a 40, though. We would say you could either stick with your true size on this for an easy fit, or size down once if you want something a little more tailored. Tommy is 5'9," 165lbs with a 41" chest.
