Overview
Designed to blend in and get on with the job, 5.11’s Founder’s Jacket delivers the appearance of a smart casual blazer with a mission-ready interior. A superb stretch double-weave polyester shell with a C0 DWR finish sheds light weather, while a lightweight dobby-nylon lining adds abrasion resistance and easy layering.
