Posted By: J lewis Wed, Dec 03, 2014 Unlikely to be too old. The jackets are worn by a host of working class Japanese men, ranging from delivery boys to those carrying portable festival shrines. |

Posted By: rat Thu, Dec 04, 2014 no, it's Japanese, or at least Japanese-style (possibly made in China). The characters are mainly repeated 福 and 寿 characters, meaning "good fortune" and "longevity", so I suspect this is meant for the tourist market. |
