French "New Gen" Combat Jacket, CCE, Surplus

Price 34.99 USD excluding sales tax

Oh là là, what a magnifique combat jacket from the land of gourmet cooking! To be precise from their military police. No hood, enough pockets, and a camo pattern that works in most forested environments. Not abused either, so an awesome find at this price.

Oh là là, what a magnifique combat jacket from the land of gourmet cooking! To be precise from their military police. No hood, enough pockets, and a camo pattern that works in most forested environments. Not abused either, so an awesome find at this price.

A little bit about the history. Gendarmerie i.e. the French military police and the French army have shared the same gear over the years. Both used the green F1 and F2, and the F2 Camo. However, when the army got the "FELIN", the Gendarmerie got the "New Generation" clothing. While they look very much the same, there are some differences.

Features

This jacket has two buttoned breast pockets, two vertical zippered breast pockets, and zippered pockets on both sleeves. If you like patches, you are in luck. Both sleeves and both sides of the chest have slots for hook and loop patches. On the right side of the chest, the slot is for a name tag, so you don’t have to ask the bouncer: Don’t you know who I am?

The jacket is closed with buttons, which is nothing unusual. However, the way the buttons are attached is very clever indeed. They are threaded on a narrow velcro strip that is then sewn on the jacket. This way the buttons will stay on no matter how violently you open and close the garment. This isn’t a brand new invention, the same concept was already used hundreds of years ago, However, it would be nice to see it become commonplace everywhere.

There is no hood or any adjustment at the hem. The garment doesn’t have any regular lining either but it does feature a mesh lining in the upper back area where you sweat the most. There are also ventilation holes in the backside under the flap, which is a pretty smart idea for keeping water from raining on your buttcrack. The cuffs have a snap fastener adjustment where you can choose either a relaxedly snug or very firm army-style fit.

Materials

The ones we checked were made from 67% cotton and 33% polyester. The tag also says that these have some sort of anti-bug treatment, but they don’t have more info on what kind it is. We cannot give any guarantees on its efficiency either since this is milsurp. However, since some mosquito repellents are harmful to pets, you shouldn’t use the jacket as a dog bed. The tag also tells you to avoid laundry detergents that contain optical brighteners a.k.a fluorescent whitening agents (FWA).

Size info

The jackets have the French size markings, which can be a bit confusing if you see the combo for the first time. First you have the familiar jacket size (S,M,L…). The letter following it refers to the French jacket/sleeve length. C = Court i.e. short, M = Moyen i.e. regular, and L = Long, which is, well, long. We put the simple size in here to make it easier for you but also added this explanation so that you don’t wonder wtf the text on the jacket means..

Condition

Used French military surplus but in very good condition. Some signs of use are there but nothing major. Clean and intact.

Pirun mukava kevyt takki kesäkäyttöön kun tarvii enemmän taskuja kuin t-paidasta löytyy. Ohut t-paita tai hihaton alle ja hihat käärittynä tää on kunnon kesämiehenpaita. Kuviokin on aina tyylikäs CCE.

Jacket is nice, but is too short for tall people.

I am 186cm tall and ordered Small-Long. The arms are too short!

For reference I am Gr. No. 12 in German sizes

Nice jacket but the sizing is quite small. X-large long is more like a large. Size up if possible.

I ordered a size up, as I am usually in between a medium and large in a regular shirt. Fits great. Ordered a Large regular and fits my 180cm height/104cm chest perfectly, with a bit of room for a wooly merino layer underneath.

The flap pockets have the extra material so things don't fall out. The zipper chest pockets aren't huge, but will carry the essential phone and wallet without issue. As usual, well made and looks like it will last. Mine came in very good condtion, well broken in, but no rips or stains.

Very happy with purchsae.

I agree with other reviewers, I ordered a small long and the sleeves are way too short, as though I ordered a small short. It fits well in the torso, excellent construction and amazing pockets, but the missing three inches of sleeve length make it a no go. I'm 6'2" and 165 lbs. I wouldn't recommend for tall people.
