100% wool with leather sleeves and pocket piping. Front and back
lettering. Lightning bolt patch. The year 1984 saw the release of one
of the best baseball films of all time: "The Natural." The movie told the
story of Roy Hobbs, the mysterious old-timer who leads the lowly New York
Knights to the pennant. While we can't guarantee you'll tear the cover off
the ball, we can promise that you'll look like "a natural" in your
authentic Knights jersey. The jersey has Hobbs #9 on the back, and also
features the famous lightning bolt patch, which celebrates Hobbs' magical
bat "Wonderboy."
Jackets
After wearing shawl collar
cardigan sweaters for many years, teams began switching to wool warm-up
jacket in the 1920's. Ballplayers required a jacket that gave protection
from the elements, as well as allowed freedom of movement while playing.
At Ebbets Field, we have studied numerous examples of original
professional baseball jackets, and have incorporated all of their unique
features into our reproductions. We use only 100% wool material for our
jacket bodies, and faithfully replicate other historic features, such as
pile linings (a soft, artificial fur) and button fronts.
Most modern
leather sleeve jackets have painted coatings, which make the leather stiff
and overly bright. Our leather is naturally tanned, which give it a
texture very much like your favorite broken-in baseball glove. Our jackets
are also cut a couple of inches longer in the body, true to the style of
the originals. A proud addition to your wardrobe, an Ebbets Field Flannels
authentic jacket will give you a lifetime of wear and comfort, and make you
the envy of everyone at the ballpark.
Jackets

questions regarding our jackets, but we cannot honor requests for custom
sizes or emblems on the jackets in our line.
