Tokyo Kyojin (Giants) 1936 Authentic Wool Road Baseball Jersey

Description

AN AUTHENTIC REPLICA OF THE 1936 TOKYO GIANTS BASEBALL JERSEY History: The fall season of 1936 saw the Kyojin win their first of eight consecutive Japanese Baseball League championships. The star of the club in the 1930s was pitcher Victor Starffin, an ethnic Russian who was the son of a Russian military officer. A phenom in the Japanese youth baseball ranks, Starffin originally intended to give up to go to university but was blackmailed into playing professionally in Tokyo after his father was jailed on a charge of manslaughter. This is a faithful reproduction of the on-field uniforms worn by the Kyojin in 1936. It’s made with authentic gray baseball flannel and finished with felt and chenille patches. We’ve updated our wool jerseys to fit true to size. For a roomier or oversized fit, we recommend sizing up from your normal size.
