A very clean dark olive minimalist jacket crafted in a lightweight technical-feel fabric (likely nylon/poly blend based on the drape and sheen).
The jacket has a distinctly Girbaud silhouette:

The Japanese care tag indicates a Japan-exclusive production batch, making it slightly rarer than standard European releases.
