The Ampal Creative - Dragon Souvenir Snapback

We again return to our favored, hand crafted jackets from Japan & Southeast Asia.  Legend has it, GI's in post WWII Yokosuka, Japan, would bring their bomber jackets into the Toyo Tailor shop for "souvenir" hand embroidery - turning their jackets into something special to bring home.  The style caught on and they were soon being made of surplus parachute nylon & silk.  The tradition continued through the Korean and Vietnam Wars, where the darker sides of the conflicts were often mirrored in the design motifs.

Made in Los Angeles, CA. USA
