The fit was quit nice and comfy, but ultimately, the quality on the pair I got wasn't there - lots of noticeable puckering above the welt, so I returned. Both Clinch and JL were more than I really wanted to spend, and I wasn't really sure about my Viberg sizing, so I decided to try OSB's field boot. I looked around to see what was available, and barring various MTO options, it basically came down to Oak Street, John Lofgren, Clinch, and Viberg. I kept seeing people posting boondockers and the like and decided they were something I wanted. But hey, if you like this jacket, I doubt that’s a concern.At some point I realized my collection had a pretty big gap in that I have no suede or roughout boots and nothing lighter than "tan" and also no service boots (I had a pair of 1035 kudu suede service boots, but they didn't quite fit how I liked, so I sold). That said, this jacket can’t really be worn daily without standing out. It’s made from a veg-tanned burgundy horsehide with a bright gold embroidery, and features a standard collar rather than the elasticated collars usually seen on souvenir jackets. Some of the jackets on this list have featured leather elements, but Fine Creek Leathers is the first brand to offer a souvenir jacket made entirely of leather. Plus One - Fine Creek Leathers: Custom Norfolk Horsehide Souvenir Jacket While the materials this jacket is made from are a bit unclear, as it’s listed both as velveteen/rayon and as double-sided wool, it’s safe to say that Pherrow’s used some of the best materials available.Īvailable for £599 (~$760USD) at Clutch Cafe. Like some of the other jackets on this list, this one is also double-sided to allow a plainer side to be worn out when desired. Pherrow’s 18W-Atlas Hawaii Souvenir Jacket features a much more militaristic pattern, as was traditional with these type of jackets, but is somehow much more minimalist than many other jackets this style. 5) Pherrow’s: 18W-Atlas Hawaii Souvenir Jacket The substantial fabrics that make up this piece make it a much heavier duty jacket than most Souvenir Jackets, so keep that in mind while shopping.Īvailable for $845 at Self Edge. Made more in the style of a varsity jacket, as is noticeable by the snap closure, this jacket features leather sleeves, a wool body, and embroidery on both the chest and back. This souvenir jacket from Sugar Cane (and a collaboration between Whitesville and Tailor Toyo) results in a fantastic example: the Leather & Wool Souvenir Jacket. 4) Sugar Cane: Whitesville x Tailor Toyo Leather & Wool Souvenir Jacket The embroidered side of this jacket is made from a proprietary Flat Head blend made of rayon/bamboo fiber/silk/cotton blend while the other side is made from a wool houndstooth.Īvailable for $891AUD a(~$620USD) at Corlection. Plus, the black-on-black pattern means that even with the embroidered side is more understated than most souvenir jackets. That’s why it’s great to see The Flat Head’s Black Eagle Souvenir Jacket feature a more normal pattern on its reverse side. As noted previously, gaudy designs on an article of clothing make it difficult to wear as a daily driver, unless you want to be defined as the guy who wears that piece.
