FOB FACTORY / FRC008 Moleskin Riding Jacket Short Coverall

FOB FACTORY
Inspired by vintage clothing and rooted in workwear, military garments, and denim, FOB FACTORY is based in Kojima, Kurashiki, Okayama—one of Japan’s leading centers of garment production. Every stage of the manufacturing process is carried out in Japan, with the goal of creating clothing that customers will still be glad they chose three years down the line.











Suede-Like Texture, Crafted from Cotton
The jacket is made from the brand’s original heavyweight moleskin fabric. The name “moleskin” literally refers to the fur of a mole, and true to its name, the fabric is characterized by its substantial weight and soft, dense texture.

Woven carefully at a high density, the fabric offers exceptional durability and structure. Its surface fibers are cut short to create a smooth, refined finish with a suede-like appearance.

The finished garment is then washed to create subtle signs of wear and a naturally broken-in look. With continued use, the fabric gradually develops beautiful fading and softens to the body, allowing you to enjoy the unique character it gains over time.



The jacket features a full lining made from a fabric recreated by FOB, based on the material originally used for M-51 parkas. The carefully developed VAT DYE oxford combines a distinctive character with excellent durability, resulting in a high-quality finish with a unique sense of depth.





Comparing the Aging of Moleskin
After approximately two years of wear, the fabric gradually softens and develops pronounced puckering with continued use. Much like leather or denim, moleskin is a material that allows you to fully enjoy the beauty of aging and the character that develops over time.

Why not make it your own, allowing it to develop a one-of-a-kind fade and texture that is uniquely yours?

Details Designed for Wind and Cold Protection
The collar is accented with corduroy, retaining the dignified character of traditional British outerwear. A chin strap allows the collar to be worn raised, providing added protection on cold, windy winter days.

Please note that this product has been washed, so the appearance of the buttons may vary from piece to piece. Some buttons may have areas where the finish has worn away, but this is not considered a defect. These variations are part of the garment’s vintage-inspired character. We kindly ask for your understanding before purchasing.



The practical double zipper is faithfully reproduced based on American-made vintage examples from the 1940s and 1950s.



The front features angled slash pockets for smooth, easy access, while giving the jacket a cleaner, more streamlined appearance.







A Shorter Length for a Lighter, More Contemporary Look
By shortening the body length, the jacket takes on a sharper appearance while remaining easy and comfortable to wear.

The shorter hem stays out of the way on days when you're constantly on the move, giving this classic riding jacket a more practical, city-friendly feel.

Its proportions also make it easy to balance with a wide range of bottoms, creating a lighter impression even with the substantial weight and presence of heavyweight moleskin.
