A Jeff Hamilton leather varsity jacket made for the NBA’s fiftieth anniversary in 1996, in red and cream leather with a Chicago Bulls crest on one sleeve and an eagle-and-flags emblem on the other. Size M, recorded as barely worn and kept in a closet.
The Piece
Jeff Hamilton built his reputation in the 1980s and 1990s on heavyweight leather team jackets, appliquéd by hand with leather patches rather than printed or embroidered badges. This example commemorates the NBA 50th anniversary season: a blue leather NBA 50 patch with the gold silhouette figure sits on the chest, and BULLS is set across the back in black felt capitals with a white edge.
The body is red leather with cream leather sleeves, a snap-front placket, welted pockets and a knit-style gathered hem, all closed with silver-toned snaps. A red Chicago Bulls head is appliquéd on the left sleeve, a gold, blue and red eagle-and-flags crest sits on the right, and a gold NBA logo patch appears at the back of the collar. Inside, the cream satin lining carries the Jeff Hamilton woven label, a Limited Edition Jacket patch marked Designed by Jeff Hamilton, and a large eagle-and-flags emblem with the size label M.
Flat measurements were not supplied for this piece and can be confirmed by our Tokyo concierge team on request, with an allowance of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in) as every figure is taken by hand.
