Big Daddy meets the pteranodon
Roth drew monsters that drove; Toho filmed monsters that flew. Bou-Ken-Oh put the flying one in the driving seat and stitched the result in chenille.

A varsity jacket from Bou-Ken-Oh, the adventure line of the original Real McCoy's, in wine wool with yellow cowhide sleeves. The back carries Rodan at the wheel of a hot rod, described as the work of Ed Roth. Size S.
The Piece
Three names meet on this jacket and are unlikely to meet again: the Kobe reproduction house in its first incarnation, the Toho studio, and Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, the Californian who gave custom-car culture its bug-eyed monsters. Roth's Rodan grips a red roadster under a green arched legend, worked in chenille and embroidery.
The front carries a winged piston crest at the chest and an oval Swinger patch at the hip, with gold pinstripe scrollwork down each sleeve. Collar, cuffs and hem are knitted in wine with green and gold stripes, and the body is lined in silver quilting with the red Bou-Ken-Oh label.
