Tested

I was fortunate to get a 5.11 Founders Jacket in for evaluation. As a person that wears a blazer quite a bit, I was excited. My first impressions were that this is indeed a quality jacket. The tailoring on it is good and fit was perfect. As someone who travels extensively, I was curious about its wrinkle- resistant fabric. After countess flights wearing the jacket, I can attest that it does wear well. Behind its sharp exterior, the 5.11 Founder’s Jacket is loaded with powerful technical features, including elastic MOLLE webbing, drop pockets, zippered internal chest pockets for secure storage, hidden key pockets designed with security in mind, and two interior phone pockets featuring 5.11’s Ready Loop — keeping any essentials secure and close at hand. I was easily able to carry my phone, a third magazine, passport and other items without disrupting the look of the jacket.

The 5.11 Founder’s Jacket’s wrinkle-resistant fabric makes it the perfect fit for business travelers, while its stretch material ensures comfort from the red-eye there to the return trip home. Pair it with slacks for a formal look or dress it down with a tee and sneakers. The tailorability, DWR finish for stain resistance, and ease of at-home launder makes the 5.11 Founder’s Jacket a seamless addition to any wardrobe, delivering the style you deserve with the substance you demand.
