Olive field jacket, ecru shirt, dark denim. Without the cap, the outfit would be almost entirely built from familiar muted colours. The faded red changes that without changing the structure. It is small enough not to compete with the M65, but strong enough to stop olive, cream and indigo from settling into a predictable heritage palette.

The embroidered patch adds another minor disturbance: decorative rather than military, almost deliberately unserious against the field-jacket construction.
