Also known as the “Gonz Jacket” after Mark Gonzales made it his own, the US Navy’s G-8 Jacket is a military classic. Its timeless design and rugged, utilitarian presence are undeniably appealing, but the stiffness can sometimes be a drawback. This piece keeps the original silhouette while reworking it in sporty ALPHADRY® fabric. Developed for trail running, the functional material brings lightness and a more urban expression to the design.
With excellent moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and stretch properties, it’s well suited to everyday wear. The tension at the cuffs and hem is set softly, so it won’t restrict movement. Pair it with pants in the same fabric and it can also be worn as a set-up.
By tempering the ruggedness typical of military wear and refining it into something that fits naturally into city life, this piece embodies Nanamica’s approach—where function and design intersect.
