"What is Vietjan in the first place?"

The origin and history of Betojan

For those who say, "What is a Vietjean in the first place?" BetojanAbbreviation for "Vietnam Jacket"It is a light outer that was born at the request of American soldiers during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 70s. * English notation is "Vietnam Jacket"

It is said that it was a trigger that the warfare and souvenirs used when the war ended and returned to their homeland safely, were embroidered from Vietnamese dough on the sleeping bags and parachutes used, and made them made into a jacket. 。

Generally, the US soldiers that have been distributed in old clothes, vintage, reprints, etc.After the land stationedIt is embroidered with a map of Vietnam, a place name such as HANOI, a motif related to Vietnam, a message related to war, a tiger picture and a "fortune".

 

Difference from Sukajan

Similar to BetojanSukajanThere is. Sukajan refers to the Japanese "Souvenir Jacket", which was ordered by rice soldier at Yokosuka Base shortly after the war.

It is said that there are various theories, such as the theory of "Ska" of "Yokosuka Jumper" and the fact that there were many embroidery of "Sky Dragon".

While Vietjan has re -tailored the goods used during the war, Skajan is a Japanese soldier embroidered on his own jacket, and is used for nylon, satin, velor (another rare). There are many.

 

What is "Souvenir Jacket"?

Vietjan and Sukajan were made by embroidering motifs related to countries stationed during the war.Souvenirs for homelandBecause it wasCollectively"Souvenir jacket = souvenir jacket"or"Souvenir Jacket"Sometimes called.

 

Tips and points of Viet Jean Corde

Recently, Vietjan is popular among celebrities and fashion lovers. In order to wear such a Vietjean cool, we will introduce some points while showing some of the coordinates using EANBE Vietjang and Aloha shirts.
 

1. Match it with a white T -shirt or shirt

 

To make the embroidered embroidery stand outCoordinating with a simple innerI think it is an iron plate and a royal road.

The white T -shirts (shirts) fit well with the black and khaki body, so start with this combination. It is recommended because the size of the inner length comes out of the hem slightly from the hem of the jacket.

 

2. Choose pants to your favorite taste

Although it is a military item,Can be tailored to any pantsThe nice thing about Betojan.

PantsIf you combine the slacks, it will be a chic and mature styleIf you combine the denim, combine the American casual taste and the chinopan for a street or casual taste.
 

Other military breads and wide pantsYou can wear it in your favorite style by changing your pantsIt is a universal outerwear.
 

3. Free feet! If you pick up the color of the embroidery, you can create a sense of goodness

When the simple inner is combined, sneakers, leather shoes, sandals, etc. at the feetMy favorite design and colored shoesAnd you can easily match.

 
If you combine sneakers of colors used in embroidery design, it looks like an advanced person.

 

4. Enjoy matching with Aloha shirts and pattern shirts

The general Vietnamese jacket has one -point embroidery around the chest and the front is simple, so you can add a pattern shirt such as Aloha shirts inside.

 
It is good to close the front as it is, or open the front and show the pattern.Enjoy layeringWearing is also recommended.

howeverOne thing I want to be careful about is my feet。 The pattern of the aloha shirt is basically impressive, so the point is to choose leather shoes and simple sneakers so that you do not fight with a pattern.

Since Vietjan itself is a casual item,When matching with Aloha shirts, take a balance with a simple footAnd the coordinates tighten.
 

5. Try to match with shorts in spring and fall

Although the preference is a little different and the difficulty level is high, Vietjang is basically a light outer classification, so it is recommended to have a coordinates combined with shorts on cool days.

I personally like this dress, and wear a hat to make it a chic style that is not too casual.

6. On sweatshirts and hoodies on a little cold day

If you are not a very cold person, it may be tough in the middle of winter, but you can wear it on a hoodie or sweatshirt on the inner for fall and winter.Personally, gray is the most recommendedis. Enjoy the layered with a full zip hoodie!

 

EANBE Original Vietjean and its features

 "Outer that fits Aloha" series

In EANBE, an original embroidery Betojan with a tribute to the original Vietjan mentioned above.“Outer series that suits Aloha”It is released every year with the title. Although it is a small number of production, it is one of the popular standard products sold out every year.

It seems to be Aloha shirt brand on a Vietnamese jacket known as a rugged military itemMix pop elements to embroidery designThe feature is that it is made.

Also, as a general size of VietjanMany things are shortHowever, one of the features is that EANBE is made about 5 to 6 cm longer than the length of other companies' Vietjang so that the hem of the Aloha shirt does not come out too much. We recommend that you wear it a little more relaxed than tight.

 

The third embroidery theme of the series is "Ryukyu"

EANBE's embroidery Betogen is also the third work this year. On May 15, 2022, the hometown of EANBE, Okinawa50th anniversary of returning to the mainlandWe have greeted. To commemorate such a historical milestone year, the "outerwear that suits Aloha" seriesThe third theme was "Ryukyu"is.

Acer's conditioner "Chon Darl"

First of all, introduce "Kyotaro Vietnam Jacket".

 

The main motif is Cheongdar, a clown, which plays an important role in the traditional performing arts Acer in Okinawa, while enjoying the humorous appearance and dancing, but also plays an important role in adjusting the dancer inspiration and a squad.

On the back is the Ryukyu lion dance and the dancing Chon Dolla, and on the front is the embroidery of the Ryukyu dynasty and the real name of Jeongdar, the real name of Jeongdarer.

It seems that the real person who became the model of Chon Darla was Taro from Kyoto. It seems that "Taro from Kyoto" became "Kyotaro" and became "Chon Dolla" in Namari.
