Classical fashion has been around for quite a while, and fashion has taken a manifold. Time and again, new fashion techs are introduced, and sometimes, old fashion comes in new forms. The 8 Ball Leather Jacket is also one of those. Over the course of time, it has been seen that people love those classic fashion trends and don’t regret buying those clothes and making style statements using them. However, it’s not true in every article’s case, but some of them nail it. The three decades old jacket is back into fashion and is ready to unfurl the new fashion ways for all the patrons. However, it’s not wrong to say that it has been here for quite a while and never went away, as Elaine Doofus’s boyfriend wore it in Seinfeld. It has refused to die peacefully even to this date.
The jacket has a history that not everyone’s aware of. Sometimes, your fate helps you the way no one else does. That lucky charm is not in everyone’s fate but in the fate of a few. Micheal Hoban was one of them. However, we can never forget his efforts in the field from 1960 that he had put in. Yet the San Francisco designer didn’t get famous until he visited the bowling field and developed this iconic signature design. The jacket then became the real reason for his, and that never died after that.
History and Origin
San Francisco–based designer Michael Hoban founded the North Beach Leather in the late 1960s. This store has become a place for all the leather lovers. He had star clientele, and the most lasting design he contributed was his 8-all designs, which also became a part of Seinfeld's wardrobe. Initially, he designed a leather jacket with a numeric stamp on shoulders and sleeves and later perfected it with the 8-ball stamp. He also created some sister designs and associated them to dice and cards. Despite that, the ambitious young adults were inclined towards the 8 Ball Leather Jacket he sold for $775.
The 8-ball design represents the last standing ball in the 8-ball pool game. It further represents the one who never gives up, given the whole match depends on this single ball that if it falls in the hole, you lose. On the other hand, if you throw that ball in the hole in the last, you win. It has to be there until the end. That was one of the main reasons the enthusiastic adults, who were also the winners, gravitated towards this jacket.
