Information: Roy Hobbs Jacket Licensed By Sony Signatures © 1984 Tri-Star Pictures. After wearing shawl collar cardigan sweaters for many years, teams began switching to wool warm-up jacket in the 1920's. Ballplayers required a jacket that gave protection from the elements, as well as allowed freedom of movement while playing. At Ebbets Field, we have studied numerous examples of original professional baseball jackets, and have incorporated all of their unique features into our reproductions.
We use only 100% wool material for our jacket bodies, and faithfully replicate other historic features, such as rayon lining and button fronts.
Most modern leather sleeve jackets have painted coatings, which make the leather stiff and overly bright. Our leather is naturally tanned, which gives it a texture very much like your favorite broken-in baseball glove. Our jackets are also cut a couple of inches longer in the body, true to the style of the originals. A proud addition to your wardrobe, an Ebbets Field Flannels authentic jacket will give you a lifetime of wear and comfort, and make you the envy of everyone at the ballpark.
