Cropped Expedition Jacket - Inspired by a 1950s English army pullover, the Cropped Expedition Jacket reworks military design into a shorter, more versatile cut. The original’s gusseted front pockets are reduced, giving the jacket a sharper line while keeping utility intact. The cropped length shifts the silhouette, making it ideal for layering as either an inner piece or a stand-alone shell.
Function drives the details. A hood anchors the profile, while a waterproof YKK front zipper and buttoned neck extension secure the closure. Tabs at the cuffs adjust the fit, and gusseted flap pockets offer storage with structure. Lined interiors keep the pockets firm in shape. Every button is military-grade melamine, chosen for endurance. The result is a jacket rooted in field gear but reshaped for daily use. Practical, durable, and distinct.
Fabric
Monitaly’s exclusive Vancloth & Sons Oxford cotton forms the outer shell. Woven at 100% cotton and finished for water resistance, it delivers durability with a smooth hand, holding structure while shedding light rain. As with all natural finishes, the repellency will soften after repeated washes, leaving a cloth that continues to age with character.
Insulation comes from seven ounces of high-loft virgin hollow polyester. Designed to mimic the loft and warmth of down, it traps air within its fibers to create heat as the body moves. Unlike down, it stays light even when damp and avoids the heavy collapse that comes with moisture.
The lining is rip-stop nylon cut to parachute spec — super lightweight, tightly woven, and resistant to tearing. Durable yet soft against the body, it balances the strength of the outer shell with the comfort needed for daily wear.

Size & Fit
The Cropped Expedition Jacket is designed with a shorter length that sits high on the body, making it an easy layer over shirts or under heavier coats. The cropped cut gives it a distinct profile, sharper and more versatile than traditional outerwear.
The fit runs small. Worn true to size, it sits close to the frame with limited room for layering. Taking one size up adds ease through the body and allows more flexibility in how it’s styled. However, it’s worn, the jacket keeps its shape, balancing the warmth of insulation with the clean line of a cropped silhouette.
Model wears size 42.
Model measures: 6'2" / 189 cm, 180 lbs / 82 kg.
