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.
