I got this jacket from Hinoya in Ueno.
Most tank jackets with slash pockets are a khaki colour. eg.

Buzz Ricksons found an original vintage brown leaf colour Tank Jacket with a crown chevron zipper, and they produced a replication of this as the BR11096. (around 2007?)

It's quite warm. I was originally looking at the B10 and the N-1 jackets, but they were just to hot and bulky for what I can wear, and I settled on this jacket instead.
