Osaka Tigers Dna Varsity Jacket
History: Japan's second-largest city is home to one of its oldest professional baseball franchises: the Osaka Tigers, who first took the field in 1936. Their park, Koshien Field, is the oldest in Japan and is considered sacred ground by players and fans. There is also a statue of Babe Ruth outside the ballpark to commemorate the Bambino's 1934 visit to Osaka.
A classic built with the same care as the originals. The body pairs an 80% wool, 20% poly blend with full leather sleeves, finished with rib-knit cuffs for a true letterman feel. Chenille-on-felt patches and chainstitch embroidery recall the hand-worked varsity styles of mid-century campuses, while welt leather pockets and a quilted lining add the comfort and durability you’d expect from an Ebbets piece.
