Baseball jackets

Having a small but growing collection of "Vintage" baseball jackets, I really don't need another one. But what's a collection about, collecting...
Well thats what I informed myself when wandering through Camden Market on an early Saturday morning heading towards 55factory for a day with 55employees.

As I darted through the vintage stalls and tye dye, it was there. The Jacket I had been searching for my entire life. The holy grail of Vintage Baseball Jackets.  Well since my old Vintage disappeared via an old flat mate, you know!! I have jsut been looking for a replacement.

Ok, Baseball Jackets from an expert.

1  They should always be old tatty and preferably vintage.
    New Baseballs just DON'T cut the mustard.

2  Girls or kids baseball jackets on guys are perfect especially if your the slimmer petite type.
    Mens baseball jackets on british guys generally don't work. Yanks are bigger than Brits - under nutritioned!
    Also there's nothing better than walking around in your Baseball with Wendy embroiled on the chest.

   
3  Never have a baseball thats too big. They look awful and make you look like you have a pin head.
    The shoulders on Baseballs can be a bit tricky, and although the Dynasty look will never go out, on a guys
    Baseball it never was in...

4 Get into always keeping ya eye out for a old baseball jacket. They turn up in the oddest places and you can get a real treasure for £5. In a different place you can pay over £75 for the very same jacket.








5 If you do happen to fall in love with one that's too big, no to worry. Pad it out with a denim jacket underneath and keep it as ya winter one. I have a few like this and a few that I should have bought but didn't.

6 Have at least 3 summer baseball jackets, but they have to fit you like a sassy slutty cheerleader and this is if you're a guy!!!

Well there's a few tips, dos and DON'TS on baseball jackets. Now go forward 55ers and hunt the ones that are destined for your backs!

Check out Vintage King Unit D04 Camden Horse Tunnel, Camden Market NW1 as they have a great range of vintage that we will be checking out. If you mention that your a
55er you may get a bit of a discount also!!!
