Brice, I don't know anything about this jacket. I just know that resistance fighters are often seen wearing it.
I didn't know that this jacket had anything to do with the Vichy government and the CJF. But how did this jacket become so popular in the Resistance? Were the jackets stolen/captured by Resistance fighters?
I'm very curious to learn more.

The reason… reverse your jacket…”retourne ta veste”
They kept what they received issued and simply changed side..happened so often in every conflict.
