AHJ-01G
Light gray, fleece lined, soft touch fabric - 97% polyester/3% spandex. Embroidered period correct artwork with red, white and blue striping.
Out of a storefront in Los Angeles on West Pico Boulevard in September 1959, American Honda began its sales activities with a tiny staff of eight. The company's lead products were the Dream, Benly, and the Honda 50, which had just made its Japanese debut. There was nothing small about the monthly sales goal, though. It was immediately set at a lofty 1,000 units.
All the artwork on this jacket pays tribute to the early branding used by American Honda from the Pico Era, starting in 1959 as it came to grips with the US market.

Perfect!

The jacket is fine but is tight in the arms and torso. I would like to exchange it for a larger size. Thank you.

This sweater jacket is timeless and well manufactured.

The jacket quality and details are fantastic, and it was delivered very quickly. The sizing is a little unique. I'm 6'0" and about 200 pounds, and I selected a large based on the dimensions. The shoulders and length are good, but the sleeves and torso are a little loose. The sizing isn't too far off from other similar garments, and I suppose it leaves room for another layer underneath. And, I'd certainly rather have a little extra room than have it fit too tight. If you are thin and between sizes, the smaller option may be better.

I thought this jacket would be identical to the blue XL 1959 AHA LA one that I received as a gift, but the collar and cuffs are quite different, and the fit is different as well. This one is smaller, and the sleeves are noticeably shorter. Am I able to exchange it for a larger size?

Store owner replied: Hi Jim- We did make a slight adjustment to the style of the cuffs and added a more traditional waistband. This is likely the reason for the different fit. Sorry you didn't think this was an improvement over the old version. Exchange is no problem. Just shoot an email to: jessica@hondavintageculture.com and we'll get the exchange done in short order.
Love love the jacket such great quality but I got the wrong size so I have to return. And to return it is costly. Will be getting another in a bigger size.

My first purchase and wasn’t sure what to expect. Either way the look, fit, materials, construction, and details all far exceeded whatever i coulda imagined. The overall quality is awesome. Wildly happy with my new jacket and looking forward to my next impulse buy with this store.
