this is a super cool vintage unisex/mens bowling varsity jacket from the 80s, featuring a shiny yellow satin body (made of 100% nylon) that is smooth and puffy. the long sleeved jacket features contrast red and yellow striped elastic ribbing details on the collar, sleeve cuffs and bottom hem, and fastens at the front with five shiny snap buttons. there is a unique front embroidery at the chest with the italicized name “valdene” and a faded graphic text on the back that reads: “chicago faces magazine.” the jacket has two open pockets on the front, is lined, and is made in the u.s.a.
