Description
This vintage Suzuki batwing-style denim jacket represents a rare intersection of Japanese automotive heritage and late-20th-century motorsport fashion culture. Produced as a promotional or internal brand garment, this piece reflects Suzuki’s global expansion era when lifestyle apparel became an extension of racing identity. The exaggerated batwing cut and bold rear embroidery elevate it beyond standard workwear into archive-grade brand memorabilia. ⸻ HISTORY & RELATED INFLUENCE During the late 1980s to early 1990s, Japanese manufacturers such as Suzuki, Honda, and Yamaha began releasing branded apparel tied to racing teams, dealerships, and motorsport events. Batwing silhouettes were especially popular in this period, influenced by Western varsity jackets and motorcycle paddock wear. This jacket aligns with that era—pre-mass merch, limited production, and never intended for retail saturation—making surviving examples scarce today. ⸻ DETAILS • Brand: Suzuki • Era: Late 1980s – Early 1990s • Style: Batwing / Dolman sleeve denim jacket • Fabric: 100% cotton denim • Closure: Full zip front • Graphic: Embroidered “SUZUKI Since 1920” back logo • Color: Indigo blue • Origin: Japan-branded licensed production ⸻ SIZE & MEASUREMENTS (measured flat) • Chest (pit to pit): 27 inches • Length (shoulder to hem): 27 inches • Fit: Oversized batwing — fits Medium up to XL depending on desired silhouette ⸻ CONDITION Excellent vintage condition.
