Inspired by the iconic WWII winter combat jacket officially designated by the U.S. Army Quartermaster in 1942, this 2nd Tanker Jacket became a staple among the G.I.s due to its warmth, comfort, and functional design. Famously worn by actor Robert De Niro in "Taxi Driver", complete with the KING KONG COMPANY patch, this jacket remains a collector's favorite.
Crafted from glossy khaki-olive twill cotton with wool lining, it features a windproof rib-knit collar, seamless tubular wool-knit cuffs and slanted patch pockets. The slightly shorter cut ensures the authentic Tanker shape and ease of movement.
Thick and sturdy, layered with a sweater or hoodie keeps you warm down to around -5°C while delivering a rugged, historically authentic look.
