Circa. 1970s
A 70s tailor-made Korea tour jacket with beautiful direct embroidery and a MAX zip. Based on a US L-2B flight jacket, fully lined and insulated with a satin shell and ribbed knit collar and cuffs.
Souvenir jackets such as this were popular among US servicemen serving abroad and are often decorated with various far-east symbolism. This one has typical dragon imagery but is certainly one of the more intricate embroideries we've seen.
Very good condition with minor signs of real wear - All zips, fittings and fixtures are present. Strong colour. There is some light sporadic staining & discolouration as seen.
