What is that vintage outerwear that the fashionable are looking at?

If you check the social networking sites of major fashion cities and fashionable influencers, you will see a lot of coordinated outfits with vintage outerwear. I’m curious about them, but it’s hard to ask, “Where are they from? but it’s hard to ask. In this issue, we focus on such maniacal vintage outerwear, and introduce items that are currently attracting the attention of fashionable people!

Featured Vintage Outerwear (1) “Swedish Army Motorcycle Jacket

The Swedish military motorcycle jackets are popular among fashionistas for their distinctive designs, such as the wide double-buttoned sleeves, impressive front pockets, and numerous button details. The silhouette is perfect for today’s fashion trends. There are also models made of leather. Until a few years ago, these jackets were priced at around 20,000 yen, but as awareness has spread through social networking services and demand has increased, the price has skyrocketed to 70,000-80,000 yen. Sizes are indicated as C50, C52, etc., and many of them are made larger than the typical size.

Remarkable Vintage Outerwear (2) “US Army Fireman’s Coat

Fireman’s coats are said to have been provided to professional firefighters at military facilities of the U.S. Army. 50’s models are popular, with details such as cotton fabric with paraffin treatment to soak wax into the fabric, metal hooks to fasten the front, and corduroy and leather parts placed in wear-prone areas. The details such as metal hooks to fasten the front, corduroy and leather parts placed in wearable areas tickle men’s hearts. It is interesting to note that despite the name “fireman’s coat,” most of the vintage pieces are made of combustible materials. The fireman’s coat is so popular that fashion brands such as Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Burberry have used the fireman’s coat as a design source for their outerwear.

Featured Vintage Outerwear (3) “FFA Jacket

FFA jackets, which are particularly visible on social networking sites of street fashion influencers, are an acronym for Future Farmers of America, which refers to the United States Federation of School Agricultural Clubs, an organization that has been in existence since the early 1920s. A wide range of vintage jackets exist, and although prices have skyrocketed, they are relatively easy to find at reasonable prices. The jacket has a tailored collar, and although it is a work jacket, it also has a somewhat elegant atmosphere. The material is navy corduroy. The length is short, so it can be worn as if it were a rider’s jacket or a denim jacket. The back style is set with the FFA’s symbolic patch and the names of the agricultural club’s state and city in chain stitching. While there is a design base, the detail design differs slightly, making this item a fun item to collect.
