Tokyo Giants Dna Varsity Jacket

History: A group of Japanese all-star ballplayers formed a barnstorming squad in 1934 and toured the United States, at one point facing off against an American all-star team that included Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Jimmy Fox. Two years later when the Japanese Baseball League formed, the team formally changed its name to the Tokyo Giants (or Kyojin in Japanese) and began their long history of success. Today they are the oldest and most successful professional sports team in Japan.

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.
