Fireman Jacket

Throughout the past five decades of menswear, the market has always been dominated by tailoring, military garments and workwear. The fireman clasp jacket is a prime example of how vintage workwear integrates into the menswear canon, with both authentic vintage fireman jackets as well as designer versions popping up on several social feeds.

The traditional vintage firefighter jacket typically features a heavy-duty, durable outer shell made of thick canvas, duck cloth, or fire-resistant materials. In addition to the fireman clasps, the jackets usually have a front overlap panel for extra protection. Many contemporary designers have used their approach to redesign the fireman clasp coat, including brands like Loewe, Supreme, Stone Island and Calvin Klein.
