Stock Number Roots

This is a clear example of how Stock Number is made. I have designed this jacket in 2004 for the Fourface collection spring/summer 2005 made by Dynamic Jeans. Working as usual for me, I have mixed the style of a very rare denim French Utility Jacket (probably made for the Marine Nationale in the 70's) with a typical Herringbone Twill fabric same as the U.S. Marines WWII jacket, in addition, a patch of U.S. Navy and a the original repro of the "laurel steel buttons" from the WWII denim was added.
I have bring the same button for the Five Pocket Selvadge Jeans of Stock Number collection.
This is Stock Number, a mix of vintage, new, reproductive and innovative styles: a kind of "prototype like" project.
