This is a highly authentic-looking jacket that recreates the TAP 47/51 Paratrooper Jacket, a classic from the French Airborne Forces. Please note that this is a reproduction, not an original from that era.
“TAP” stands for the French term “Troupes Aéroportées” (Airborne Troops), and the TAP 47 series is known as the iconic combat uniform of the French Airborne Forces during the First Indochina War. With its numerous large pockets, snap buttons, and distinctive back details, it features a striking design that laid the foundation for later French Airborne uniforms.While the lizard camouflage is famous, this is a reproduction of the original OD jacket from that era.
This item is not an authentic 1950s French military piece, but rather a reproduction of the TAP 47/51 believed to have been produced around the 1990s. What makes it particularly interesting is the fabric—it was crafted using olive drab fabric that appears to have been repurposed from an authentic U.S. military sleeping bag cover.It possesses the unique texture and durability characteristic of authentic military fabric, giving it a charm that sets it apart from mere modern replicas.
It features a large front pocket and makes extensive use of metal snaps throughout. The back also reproduces the distinctive details characteristic of a TAP jacket, allowing you to fully appreciate the rugged charm unique to French Army airborne uniforms.
This is a used item. It shows signs of wear, scuffs, and light staining appropriate for its age, but these elements contribute to the unique character of this piece, made with authentic vintage fabric.
