I like the combination of jeans and military clothing, and the M65 has become my standard for autumn and winter. However, because the fabric is thick and sturdy and it also has a lining, I end up wearing it less as the weather gets warmer in spring and summer. I was looking for a lighter military item that I could also wear in spring and summer, and I chose the Brunello Cucinelli field jacket that I will introduce here.
The one I bought is a field jacket in a colour close to khaki. This colour is called ‘sage’ in Brunello Cucinelli, and all of Brunello Cucinelli's colours are named after flowers and plants, inspired by nature.
As it has no lining, you can wear it comfortably even in the spring and summer, and as it has a military-style design, you don't have to worry about it getting creased, so you can use it in the daytime by either carrying it in your hands or wearing it around your waist, and in the evening, when it gets cooler, you can use it as a jacket, so it is useful throughout the season.
In this article, we will introduce Brunello Cucinelli's field jacket.
Military items are an essential element of my fashion style, which is based around jeans. The M65, a classic military item, is too hot for the spring and summer season, and the sizing of jungle fatigues is a little tricky (although that's also part of their appeal), so I was looking for a military item that would be useful in summer, and that's how I came across Brunello Cucinelli's field jacket.
The details are in the form of a field jacket with four large patch pockets, which are common to items such as the M65 and M43. The colour is also a smoky khaki colour common to military items, so when you wear it you get a hard, masculine image.
It's hard to convey in a photo, but the silhouette is very beautiful, and with military items like the M65, depending on how you wear it, the width of the body and the thickness of the sleeves can make it look like work clothes and look a bit rough, but this field jacket has been expertly tailored to make the body and sleeve widths look good, and while it still has a military look, it has a very sophisticated styling.
- A single-piece military item that can be worn in summer
- The exquisite colour of the slightly smoked khaki is perfect when worn with blue jeans
- The sleeves and body of genuine military items are large and a little rough around the edges (but that's part of their charm), but with advanced tailoring techniques, they can be made into a very sophisticated style
- The use of very high-quality cotton fabric and the soft tailoring make it feel light and soft when worn, so it is very easy to move in, and you can wear it with the feel of a high-quality, thin knit
- The quality of the small details, such as the double zips, buttons and waist drawstring, is also high, making it very easy to use.
- As it is a field jacket, you can wear it without worrying about wrinkles, but the styling when you wear it is like a tailored jacket that has been made to order, so you can enjoy a stylish style naturally while wearing it comfortably.
As I felt when trying it on in the shop, the silhouette comes out very beautifully. If you want to make the body a little narrower, you can use the drawstring hidden in the waist to do so. The length is also just right, and you can wear it casually over jeans to create a certain atmosphere, so you can wear it without having to think too much about what you match it with. For this reason, I have many opportunities to wear it, and it is very useful.
The brand is amazing, and of course the quality of the fabric and the construction are excellent, but there is also a great deal of attention to detail in the fitting, and the craftsmanship and motivation of the artisans are high, so they put in the extra effort to make the clothes, and the silhouette is beautiful and you can enjoy the relaxed comfort when you wear them.
Although it is a field jacket in shape, it is tailored like a cotton gabardine tailored jacket, and it has a very urban and sophisticated styling, so although I don't do it very often, it is also nice to wear over a suit.
In this article, I've combined it with a 502, but it has a certain flexibility that means you can wear it with a variety of different outfits, so you can enjoy it in a variety of different styles!
This is a field jacket that you would normally wear in the city, but I took these photos at the beach at the beginning of spring. I think the photos convey the good fit of this jacket, which is different from the sizing of secondhand military clothing.
Compared to second-hand military clothing such as M65s, it fits the body more snugly, but it is easy to move in because it is well-tailored.

I bought this Brunello Cucinelli field jacket in search of a military item that would go well with jeans and be useful in spring and summer. It is a field jacket, but it is made with a high level of skill, using a single-piece tailoring technique, and while it has the masculine feel of a field jacket, it also has a very sophisticated styling, and because it is well-tailored, it is light and cool, so it is very useful in spring and summer.
This can be said of Brunello Cucinelli's clothes in general, but because they are made with a focus on resort wear, rather than extreme trends, they are made with a good balance of effortlessness. Despite the relaxed styling, the fabrics and materials used are the best in the world, and they are made with extremely high tailoring techniques. Despite being such a major luxury fashion house, all of their clothes are made in the village of Solomeo in Italy, and highly motivated craftsmen incorporate a little extra effort into their work that you wouldn't normally expect, and you can feel this when you actually put the clothes on and use them regularly. Once you've worn their clothes, you'll understand why so many people are repeat customers who continue to use their clothes.
As the clothes are in the higher price range, I can't afford to buy many of them myself, but they have a charm that makes me want to wear them. The designs are firmly based on the universal theme of men's clothing, but they also incorporate a little bit of a playful element, so they are a brand that will always have a stylish element that won't be swept away by the fashions of the times, and that you can wear with a sense of attachment for a long time.
I love Brunello Cucinelli's clothes, and I think it's a wonderful brand whose corporate philosophy is also very impressive, so I'd like to continue introducing it in the future.
