What it lacks in embroidery, this jacket makes up in beautiful color and pattern. This luau-worthy piece looks great with just about everything.

Valentino: $1410

Black on black makes a statement without searing the corneas of any on-lookers. Not to mention theres a badass tiger on the back!

YSL: $4550

It's not authentic, but the vintage heritage of the stitch work is rich with military undertones. And when you get tired of the electric blue, flip it over for a citric orange.

Ralph Lauren: $695

Alessandro Michele hasn't been everything but subtle since his on-boarding at Gucci, and this jacket is the physical representation of his progressive designs!

Gucci: $3150

A jean kimono with a badass embroidery? Sign everyone up! This piece will stand the test of time and will stay fashionable well after SS16.

Visvim: $880

Aside from the light price tag, the white and sky blue color-way makes this one of the most attractive jackets on the market.

Sparry Selects: Souvenir Jackets

June 9, 2016

There is a special place in my heart for souvenir jackets; equal parts functionality, heritage, and flare all in one. The first of these jackets originated from WWII when airmen would use excess parachute material to create an ornate jacket to memorialize their service. The modern souvenir jackets feature the heritage and inspirations of their respective brands, serving as an earmark, even cornerstone to some of the latest collections this year. Prices range greatly as do the available colors, materials, and constructions, but one truth holds that the wearer should don each piece with the indelible pride that comes with the jacket.

I usually don't advise splurging on a fashion piece, limited life spans and all, but this genre has deep-seated roots in genuine culture. I will however suggest that the jacket you opt for is one that you can own, with colors that work for your style and a fabric that suits your environment so that you're comfortable in every sense of the word while wearing it. The only caveat to this advice is in the off chance that you find some thrift gold; I don't care what color or creed, grab that thing up before it disappears!
