Shoulder width: 45 cm Body width: 52 cm Sleeve length: 67 cm Length: 62 cm Reluctantly selling due to outgrowing it. As it is quite old, there are a few small holes. Those who are not comfortable with used clothing should refrain from purchasing. This is an extremely rare vintage award jacket (varsity jacket) made in the 1950s to early 1960s at "THE SPORTSMAN," a sports shop in Harlingen, Texas. The eye-catching mustard yellow wool body is accented by black leather (or vinyl leather) panels on the shoulders, a classic and exquisite design typical of the mid-century period. The chest features a prominent "Lyre" symbolizing a music band and a "K BAND" embroidered patch in a voluminous chenille stitch. A notable detail is the original post-type button backing, a feature from that era. The tag still bears the name of the original owner, "Gary Smith," adding to the story of this one-of-a-kind vintage piece. Key Details: • Era: 1950s - early 1960s • Shop Tag: Original tag from "THE SPORTSMAN," Harlingen, Texas • Patch: Luxurious chenille stitch (sagara embroidery) featuring "K BAND" & lyre motif • Silhouette: Collared type. The short length typical of vintage jackets and voluminous sleeves match current trends. • Condition: Surprisingly good condition for its age. The wool retains its texture, making it a top-class item for both collection and practical wear. Size (Marked: 36) Equivalent to a Japanese S-M size. While it can be worn in the tight-fitting style of the era, it also looks very stylish on petite individuals or women wearing it oversized. #madeinUSA #MadeInUSA #AmericanMade #MadeInAmerica #NativeJapanese #NaiJapa #FumitoKawai #Haruki's Used Clothing Channel #Harukun #TakuyaKimura #Kenkoba #KendoKobayashi #RenYamada #Omoshy Channel #NaoyaMorishita #Shiganai Channel #IkeojiPresident #SarabaSeishunnoHikari #Morita #SarabaMorita #TomoyaNagase - Color: Mustard - Design: Band logo embroidery - Material: Wool and synthetic leather - Size: 36 - Style: Varsity jacket
