Are there any stores where i can find these?

No i think i want to buy it myself. But thanks anyway!

So nobody living in New York knows what I'm talking about?

I think Lounge on Broadway&Houston would have some jackets like that...

Don't quote me on it though.

il padrino, we know what you are talking about. they sell those in japan. it's not a chinese thing. they don't sell those in chinatown. they sell bootleg gucci bags and sean john in chinatown.

Padrino... Metropolis on 3rd Ave between 9th and 10th street has some of those.

I think they are more commonly referred to as Tour jackets and are military inspired. Originals are quite pricey.

in japan, they are called ƒˆƒRÆ’XÆ’JÆ’Wƒƒƒ“ƒpÂ[ or yokosuka jumper or "sukajan."

Do they got an Aardvarks on the east coast?

History lesson.

The original "suka-jans" reached the States during the end of WW2 when the

US troops who were stationed in Japan brought back these jackets as souvenirs.

They have all these sterotypical "Asian" animals on them cuz thats what sold well

to the troops. They were made soley for the troops and were made from everything

from satin to left over parashutes.

Tour jackets were something that were inspired by the "suka-jans".

nice saru,

now, close to every military base, you can find places that can create suka-jans. they can make any kind of custom design for you, and i think it must be cheaper than buying them from a retail store. when i go back to okinawa, i will have a few of them made....

sup, first post.

here's mine, it was bought in Japan by a friend. sleeves are ok, but it is kind of short. I think that is how the style is. the quality is superb.

ahh great jacket doubletap, wish my family still lived in Japan. I've been wanting one for a while but they're expensive

[artificialsky]

i saw some pretty nice evisu versions of these @ goods this weekend.

feeling 'em, not for $370 (maybe it was 270?)

Good info on the History Lesson. In the Navy,"my father in law" said that they were called "Tour" (as in tour of duty) jackets because they would have all the places that they sailed to embroidered on them which follows the military theme. Not to be mistaken with the common rocker tour jacket with performance dates and places on them.
