A bit of an odd one that made us go "What the hell is this". The apparently short lived "Jacket, Insect Repellent" which is a pretty bold description. This looks to be some mesh and canvas woven to look like a jacket. We're sure these were meant to soak in Deet and be breathable but it's unknown since there's hardly anything out there about these things. The size label says large but it would fit like a very tight crop top with some very large sleeves making us think that these were meant more of an undergarment than an overgarment.
