A many-petalled rosette, rendered in soft greys like a succulent seen from above, sits inside a fine circle, and the old proverb curves around its upper edge. Below, under the heading The Great Invocation, short lines about light, love and return are set in a book face, so the panel reads like a page from a private manuscript.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front is held back: a small GDC mark at the chest, snap front, slanted welt pockets trimmed in leather and a small leather tab on the left sleeve. The cowhide sleeves have a pebbled grain, the rib is plain black, and the lining is padded and quilted for real winter wear. The cut is roomy, with a dropped shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGDC, founded in Tokyo in 1998 as Grand Canyon, folds graphic ideas into everyday clothes; here the letterman becomes a carrier for a meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e GDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e GD0558 (per label)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varsity jacket, snap front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShell:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% wool, 40% polyester; cowhide sleeves (per label)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyester, padded and quilted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosette, proverb and verse to the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e L (per label)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56 cm (22.0 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChest width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61 cm (24.0 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64 cm (25.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 cm (23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured flat by hand; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 2 cm (0.5 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight signs of use, with no conspicuous marks or damage noted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack graphic, leather and quilted lining present cleanly; every photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (very good, light wear)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChecked and photographed in Japan before dispatch.
