Among German tour jackets
A special piece
This is a rare species found in the same spot as the Vietnam jacket featured in the same article.
The size is on the larger side.
It's approximately an XL in actual size.
It has shoulder padding, which is a characteristic of German-made products.
Unpadded satin fabric
And because it's a large size, it gives an overall drape.
My impression is that if you wear one size or more larger, it's hardly noticeable.
Those who actually wear it
Rather than choosing an awkward size considering the length...
There's also the perspective that a larger size is easier to wear.
I'd go with that option.
If you are concerned about sleeve length
It's taboo, but folding it over a couple of times made it fit nicely.
These kinds of embroideries are from custom-made items from that time.
There's almost no chance of finding the same thing again in the future.
In that sense, I think it's a jacket that will really stir up a desire to own it.
