The moment I saw this baseball jacket I fell in love. I realize that with a $500 price tag, it’s not necessarily cheap, but I was looking for the perfect, oversized, vintage jacket for the looooongest time, and there it was. Every time I wear it (which has been only twice so far) people go nuts over it, everybody asks where it’s from. The embroidering on the back is luxuriously delicate, the Hawaiian theme makes it different, while the colors and fabric make it ultimately beautiful, and the finishes are so insanely well thought out that I can barely handle it. The dark green lining on the inside, the vintage-looking wool cuffs and collar, the play of the colors. If you can’t tell already, I’m legitimately obsessed. I wore it over a long line, two-tiered mesh shirt from Topman, and a pair of drop crotch jeans from my homies over at Control Sector. The kicks and cap pick the grey back up, and altogether lay a nice achromatic base for the jacket to really pop.
