{"product_id":"photographer-utility-jacket_olive","title":"PHOTOGRAPHER UTILITY JACKET","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PHOTOGRAPHER UTILITY JACKET is a faithful reproduction of the French ‘Multipoche’ jacket from the 1960s, originally inspired by European hunting jackets. The Real McCoy’s has enhanced this design by using a military-grade cotton-nylon blend, known for its resilience and lightweight properties. This fabric is the same as that used in the PARKA, MAN'S M-65, a key piece of U.S. military gear recognized for its durability in tough conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features of the jacket include a button latch band collar, three chest pockets, two zippered body pockets, four flap waist pockets, and two additional zippered waist pockets. It also comes equipped with a concealed drawcord hood, a snap-button storm flap, and a full zip-through front closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis utility jacket was famously worn by artist Andy Warhol, in 1982 during a late October visit to communist China, 10 years after creating the famous Chairman Mao portrait series. Filmmaker John Alper accompanied Andy Warhol to Communist China, where they created the documentary \u003cem\u003eAndy Warhol: Made in China\u003c\/em\u003e. This project marked Warhol's final film and offered a unique glimpse of the artist as a tourist in a vastly different cultural and political landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film was born out of an opportunity orchestrated by Alfred Siu, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman who invited Warhol to create portraits and attend the grand opening of Siu's cutting-edge I Club. Warhol’s trip also promised the potential for him to paint a portrait of Deng Xiaoping, the next leader of China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a small crew, including photographer Christopher Makos and art world figures like Fred Hughes, Alper captured Warhol's interactions as they toured Beijing’s landmarks, from the Forbidden City to the Great Wall. Warhol’s introverted personality contrasted with his constant photography, as he captured his impressions of China with his camera. Despite his reserved demeanor, moments in local markets stirred Warhol’s enthusiasm, a rarity during the trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Hong Kong, Warhol's lens documented modern architecture such as the Jardine House and Hopewell Centre, as well as buildings viewed from the Peak. He also captured street scenes with the city's famous trams and interior shots of hotel rooms, including televisions, bathrobes, and staff. In Beijing, his photographs featured ancient architecture, the Great Wall, crumbling newer buildings, and numerous bicycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PHOTOGRAPHER UTILITY JACKET has been recreated using a military-grade cotton-nylon blend cloth. Details include an elasticated hem, snap button cuffs, multiple pockets throughout the garment and a stand collar with a concealed hood. Hardware includes square Vislon front zipper and square coil pocket zippers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCotton Nylon Fabric: 65% cotton, 35% nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare Vislon Front Zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare Coil Pocket Zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: 1121725c-81a1-4aff-9ba0-a7010354450d --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joe McCoy","offers":[{"title":"OLIVE \/ 36","offer_id":68026081935652,"sku":"RM-44381924655362","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OLIVE \/ 38","offer_id":68026081968420,"sku":"RM-44381924688130","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OLIVE \/ 40","offer_id":68026082001188,"sku":"RM-44381924720898","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OLIVE \/ 42","offer_id":68026082033956,"sku":"RM-44381924753666","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OLIVE \/ 44","offer_id":68026082066724,"sku":"RM-44381924786434","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/8471\/9396\/files\/MJ24009_OLV_3172_123c7c04-b1ce-4099-aa07-43d70977e4bf.jpg?v=1793782436","url":"https:\/\/therealmcsoys.com\/products\/photographer-utility-jacket_olive","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
