Sundae School Jackets: Shells, Sailor Collars and Statement Fleece
Lightweight jackets are where Sundae School has the most fun with references. You will find a rain-ready shell built on the shape of a jeogori, sailor collars that recall Korean school uniforms of the 1970s and 80s, a hard-working utility jacket and two jacquard fleeces woven with custom artwork. Sundae School jackets are designed to go over everything else in the collection, from hoodies to tie shirts.
The Sundae School Jackets Lineup
Jeogori Tie Shell Jacket
A unisex shell built on the structure of the jeogori, the short jacket of traditional hanbok, and true to its name, finished with a jeogori-style tie. The fabric is triple-coated for high water resistance, so it is ready for spring showers and windy commutes, and the cut leaves room to layer over everything. Available in black and navy.
Sailor Windbreaker
A cropped full-zip windbreaker in 100% nylon with UV protection. An extended sailor collar flap carries script embroidery, and toggles at the waist let you pull in the hem. Available in grey and navy.
Sailor Collar Uniform Jacket
Inspired by gyobok, the Korean school uniform of the 1970s and 80s. A wide sailor collar is finished with quilted floral stitching, and the jacket closes with hidden snaps plus ribbon ties. It is cropped and bio-washed for a soft hand, and it is the style worn as the staff uniform at the brand's Hester Street store in New York. Available in black.
Asymmetric Work Jacket
Where workwear meets the trench coat. This garment-washed jacket has seven pockets for everything you carry and a removable belt, so you can wear it cinched or loose. Available in tan.
Jacquard Fleece Jackets
For colder days, the range includes two heavy jacquard fleeces with artwork by artist Kwangmoo Lee woven into the fabric. The Reversible Irezumi Fleece turns inside out into a nylon windbreaker and comes in black and taupe. The New Toker Fleece is boxy and bold, with the New York City skyline woven across it. Find out more in the Sundae School fleece collection.

Fit and Sizing
Fit varies across the range, so check each product page before you choose. The Sailor Windbreaker has a cropped, femme cut: women can take their usual size or size up, while men usually go up one or two sizes. The Jeogori Tie Shell Jacket is unisex and made to layer over other pieces, and the New Toker Fleece is boxy with dropped shoulders.
How to Layer Sundae School Jackets
A cropped jacket looks best with a high waist, so pair the Sailor Windbreaker or the uniform jacket with roomy Sundae School pants or a pleated midi from the skirts range. Wear the shell over a hanbok hoodie on wet days, or over a gorum tie shirt from the Sundae School shirts range when the weather turns mild. A daenggi cap keeps the look playful.

A Jacket for Every Season
In spring, the Jeogori Tie Shell Jacket and the Sailor Windbreaker handle showers, wind and sun. Summer evenings call for the windbreaker's light nylon, while autumn is the season for the Asymmetric Work Jacket and the Sailor Collar Uniform Jacket worn over a hoodie. When winter arrives, switch to the heavy jacquard fleeces, and wear the Reversible Irezumi Fleece on its nylon side when the wind picks up.
Caring for Your Jacket
Always follow the care label first. Coated and nylon shells are best wiped clean or washed gently in cold water and left to air dry, since high heat can affect water-resistant finishes. Empty all pockets before washing the work jacket, and take off its belt. For the jacquard fleeces, wash cold and inside out to protect the woven artwork.
