Needles stadium jacket in navy. Ribbed stand collar with snap button front closure. Custom patch on the front and back. Front slant pockets and ribbed hem. Raglan long sleeves with ribbed cuffs and butterfly embroidery. Relaxed, unisex fit. Lightweight. The stadium jacket has a rich history rooted in post-World War II souvenir culture and the American sportswear of the 1970s–90s. The precursor to the modern stadium jacket is the Sukajan, or “souvenir jacket,” which originated in post-World War II Japan. American servicemen stationed in Yokosuka brought their regulation bomber jackets to local tailors, who used leftover parachute silk and satin to create custom embroidered pieces. These jackets typically featured Japanese motifs — such as dragons and cherry blossoms — alongside American symbols, often serving as personal mementos of their service abroad. 100% polyester main, 100% rayon embroidery. Hand wash. Made in Japan. Fit information: Model height 5’9, chest 33”/84cm, waist 27”/68cm, hip 37.5”/96cm and wearing size XS.
