The idea of this jacket was dreamed up in a Tokyo bar between Head Wolf Seiji and Derek, a big fan, who was more than happy to work with Guitar Wolf, Japan’s Greatest Jet Rock ‘n’ Roll band, to produce something special. The result is the resurrection of an unnamed early 1960’s jacket from the Lewis Leathers archive.
The name was inspired by the home of Rock n Roll and was thus called The Memphis No.723 (after G & W, the 7th & 23rd letters of the alphabet).
