What is a Japanese varsity jacket called?
A Japanese varsity jacket is called a sukajan. The word is a Japanese representation of the English word jumper, commonly used to describe sweaters. Sukajans debuted in the late 1940s when designers in Japan began producing them for American soldiers to take home as souvenirs when returning from deployments.
