Hello.
I am 28 years old, from Japan. About a year ago I have come across this jacket online, in a scene on a YouTube video about vintage clothes. Ever since, I have been obsessed with this particular jacket and have been hunting down the information about it. So far so have found 2 of the identical jacket and partially have tracked down the temporary owners of them. But both pieces have different owners and I have no idea where they are now… From what I have gathered so far about the piece is that, they were so-called "drinking jackets" that were worn by the U.S. military personnels who had served at the Yamada Ammunition Depot located in Kokura, Japan. Likely were worn around 1965-1967. I would love to know if anyone on the site knows about or has the jacket today.
Thank you so much.
