Stock Number Heritage

Stock Number Heritage | This is an homage Paratroopers Coat from WWII German Fallschirmjager from the Fourface Collection.

I made this garment in the FW2006 collection of the luxury sportswear Fourface  made by Dynamic Jeans and died too young. This coat is a perfect example of tactical and protective garment made with the perfect german technology in design and manufacturing of military clothes.
German Fallschirmjager normally wore this coat with a “splinter” camouflage pattern (one of the most perfect camouflage pattern ever seen) in green, brown and antracyte colors. I have made my homage in a dark grey stone washed treated canvas, with a fake fur blue lining to match better with the color of denim, that is the type of trouser that was intended to be worn with.

Even four years after, this Fourface German Fallschirmjager coat is a classic and a source of inspiration for me, and this si why I have created the Stock Number collection: I don't wnat to stop to create things like those.
