Based on the specs of Vietnam jackets from the 1960s to 1970s, this design features a slightly shorter length and a relaxed width. It can be paired with a wide range of innerwear for various coordinates and serves as a versatile light outerwear piece. It features lavish, loosely applied chain embroidery reminiscent of vintage pieces.
The Vietnam jacket is said to have originated when soldiers returning from the battlefield created souvenir jackets by embroidering fabrics like sleeping bags and parachutes. These souvenir items were characterized by their tough fabric and embroidery.
The fabric used reproduces the American military nylon double ripstop from the 1960s, using bright yarn to achieve a soft texture, moderate luster, and lightness that closely resembles vintage items.
The woodland print faithfully reproduces the original from that era, combining durable ripstop fabric with high-performance cotton in a gourd-stitch quilt.
Artwork:
Art graphics based on "FARO," a card game popular at "TIGER ALLEY SALOON." Gambling establishments displayed tiger paintings inspired by the patterns on the backs of cards, and were called "Tiger Alley" or "Twist the tiger's tail."
