ARCHIVE NOTES
Descente is a storied Japanese sportswear manufacturer known for high-quality technical apparel, and it produced official motorsport and team clothing for Honda during the 1980s and 1990s. This jacket carries the period Honda "F" racing-wing emblem — a mark associated with Honda's racing and Formula activity of the era — together with Descente-stamped snap hardware, a combination that points to genuine period Honda team-style leisurewear rather than a later reproduction. Maker and branding are documented from the garment's own tag, patch and hardware; specific year and provenance are not claimed.
