French Army CCE Jacket F2

French Army F2 Field Jacket

The F2 is the French Army's field jacket, cut in CCE camouflage and issued to French soldiers as part of the F2 combat uniform. It is a lightweight shirt-style jacket with zippered chest pockets and hook-and-loop panels for insignia. Collectors, reenactors and anyone building a French kit loadout look for it as the genuine government-issue article.

Features

• CCE Camouflage — Camouflage Centre Europe is the French woodland pattern of green, brown, black and sand blotches, built for European terrain.
• Two Zippered Chest Pockets — Vertical zip openings on each side of the chest keep small items secure and stay flat when not in use.
• Hook-And-Loop Name Tape Panel — A strip of loop fabric above the left pocket takes a name tape or unit patch with a matching hook backing.
• Center Chest Rank Patch — A hook-and-loop square in the middle of the chest holds a rank insignia where it can be seen from the front.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Buttoned straps on each shoulder carry slip-on rank or hold a strap in place.
• Covered Front Placket — A fabric flap runs down the front and hides the closure, so no buttons sit exposed to snag.
• Pointed Shirt Collar — A traditional collar can be worn open or turned up against wind.
• Genuine French Army Issue — Each jacket was made for and supplied to the French military rather than produced for the commercial market.

French Issue CCE Pattern

The F2 jacket belongs to the French Army's standard field uniform and carries the CCE pattern that French forces wore for decades. The cut is that of a field shirt-jacket, light enough to wear as an outer layer in mild weather or over a T-shirt under body armor and webbing. Because it is issued kit, the pocket layout, insignia panels and fittings match what French soldiers actually wore, which matters to collectors and reenactors who want an accurate uniform.
