Dover Street Market Ginza, opened by Rei Kawakubo in 2012, marked its arrival with a handful of store exclusives, and a yellow Vanson rider was among the most striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is that jacket. It is cut in the classic asymmetric zip rider pattern with wide notched lapels and snap-down collar points, belted waist with roller buckle, zipped chest and hand pockets, zipped cuffs and snap adjuster tabs at the back. The leather is a full yellow cowhide with a soft hand and a light natural grain, lined in yellow satin of cupro and polyester. Dark zip tapes and polished hardware frame the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the neck sit the Vanson Leathers Boston label, marked Made in USA and size 34, and a Dover Street Market woven label. The Comme des Garçons care label inside carries the code WJ-J409 and the AD2012 date, and the leather is stamped with a Vanson production number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 34 is the smallest Vanson size and fits closely: 39.5 cm across the shoulders and 42.5 cm pit to pit with a 59 cm body.
