Belgian M90 Jigsaw Field Jacket

Belgian Jigsaw has a much tamer history than the rest of Belgium, originally developed in 1956, the pattern consists of rusty earth, "Bottle" green and khaki green elements amidst smaller, black and white shapes. Originally intended for use in Europe it also worked suspiciously well in the Congo. There were 4 generations of "Jigsaw" issued over it's 66 year reign, with minor pattern changes and improvements in fabrics, with the final jigsaw pattern seeing the removal of the bits of white prevalent in previous patterns. 

Featuring a heavyweight cotton weave and reinforced elbows, along with a plethora of zippered pockets. It's ability to safely carry a variety of half eaten Belgian waffles is unrivaled. The adjustable waist and hem ensure your temperature stays controlled, just like the Congolese under King Léopold II. Meanwhile the button-able cuffs and collar keep the warm air in and the cold out. The perfect jacket if your heart takes any journey into darkness...

Sizing

This shipment came with mostly short and long sizes, in a fit of Belgian Genius.

We've had customers inquire about the length of the sleeves — they do run short than most jackets. If you size up to a "long" this will help the issue, but you may have a shorter chest length as a result. 

As for chest size, we'd recommend going with your usual jacket size. With the hip and waist drawstrings any slack in your jacket can be taken up easily.
