Jackman is a Japanese factory brand established in 1967, rooted in Tanabe Meriyasu Seisakusho, founded by Mitsugu Tanabe in 1949 in Takefu, Fukui Prefecture. It carries forward techniques developed through the production of baseball socks and uniforms, as well as training wear for the Japanese team at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. At its own factory in Fukui, the brand offers cut-and-sew garments, sweatshirts, jackets, bottoms, caps, and other items. Drawing on American baseball, it presents Japanese-made apparel in Japan and abroad, shaped by its distinctive, contrarian approach to making things and a focus on durability and functionality.
Concept
By carrying forward the techniques and spirit established at its founding, the brand offers a high level of satisfaction to those who wear its products through its distinctive, contrarian approach to making things.
