The McGrath Bomber Jacket in Frogskin
Years in the making. The McGrath Bomber started as a single sketchbook drawing in 2021 and went through hundreds of hours of design, prototyping, and refinement before it was ready. We didn't rush it. The result is a jacket built to last decades. Tough enough for work, comfortable enough for everything else.
The Frogskin
The McGrath Bomber in Frogskin wears the pattern that started it all.
Frogskin, formally the M1942 Camouflage HBT pattern, was the first standardized camouflage issued to US armed forces. Developed in the early 1940s and made iconic by Marines in the Pacific theater, its distinctive blotch-on-blotch coloring earned the informal name from its resemblance to frog skin. The pattern was reversible: a "beach" side in lighter tans and a "jungle" side in deeper greens, designed for the shifting terrain of island warfare. It predates ERDL, woodland BDU, MultiCam, and virtually every other pattern in the American military camouflage lineage. In a real sense, this is where American camo began.
On 10oz cotton canvas, Frogskin reads like a piece of living history you can actually wear. The earthy greens, tans, and browns sit naturally against the aged character that canvas develops over time. This is not a costume. It's the real pattern, on real material, built to outlast the closet it lives in.
Built Right
The exterior is 10oz cotton canvas, a material that only gets better with age. It resists wind, shrugs off thorns and brush, and takes a wax beautifully. For water resistance, apply a beeswax-based canvas wax (Otter Wax or similar) with a cloth and heat-set with a hair dryer. The canvas will darken slightly and shed water reliably for seasons of hard use.
Inside, a 4.5oz French twill lining keeps things cool and comfortable against the skin. Nylon rib knit cuffs and hem seal in warmth and move with you — no snags, no bunching. The corduroy collar is canvas-backed for structure and adds a touch of vintage character that sets this jacket apart.
Hardware is IDEAL metal zippers and Talon snaps, finished in antique brass throughout. These are not fashion choices, they're the right choices.
Five Pockets
Two snap-flap waist pockets keep your essentials secure. Behind them, two open hand-warming pockets are always accessible. An interior breast pocket handles your phone or wallet. A locker loop keeps things tidy when the jacket isn't on your back.
Made in Garland, Texas
American garment manufacturing is a shadow of what it once was. We make the McGrath Bomber here anyway because it matters to us, and because the people doing this work deserve the support.
Care: Machine wash cold, inside out. Hang dry. Do not tumble dry. If waxed, spot clean only and re-wax as needed.
