@Samu
No problem :)
But those スカジャン are quite expensive :/ Like I saw some around 4万円… The cheapest price I can remember must have been something like 1万7千円.

Ah sorry, I thought you didn’t even know what the Japanese word was. The closest I’ve seen to skajan outside of japan would be some sort of baseball jacket I guess. At least the material reminds me of those. But unfortunately those usually don’t have awesomely cheesy tigers and dragons on them.

@Samu
Thanks for your comment Samu!
Yes sorry for the length of the article and the amount of pictures ^^
Will try to split from now on if it gets too long.
My point is that I want to know if there is a specific name for it in the US or any other English-speaking country. I know that it’s called スカジャン in Japanese :)

@Samu Good article - just for clarity スカジャン comes from Yokosuka (スカ) + jumper (ジャン).

Nice blog post. Lots of pics. Almost too much for one post. My browser had some troubles updating the pics. May I recommend splitting up the posts in the future?

Those jackets should be called スカジャン. I’ve been interested in them for a while, but I’m not sure if they make you look like a 不良 or if they are a completely accepted fashion.

Wow, that’s what I would call an exhaustive article. Very nice, puts my post to shame :p
