To meet a demand for more modern styles in Rhodesian camo, we have revived the classic French para jacket with some upgrades. Made in our heavier cotton fabric for ruggedness, this jacket four gusseted outside cargo pockets, two zippered chest pockets, sleeve pocket and four inside pockets with velcro and strap closure. There is no crotch flap. We have retained the short zipper of the original French design and replaced the buttoned front flap with snaps for quick access under the jacket.
