EVANGELION’s 30th Anniversary Unleashes a ‘MONSTAR’ Rider Jacket: JAM HOME MADE Fuses Iconic Anime with Asymmetrical Fashion
The world of fashion and anime collides in spectacular style as RADIO EVA “THE 30” and JAM HOME MADE proudly announce the release of their “MONSTAR” leather jacket. Marking the 30th anniversary of Neon Genesis Evangelion, this unique garment, available from February 27, 2026, is a groundbreaking fusion of JAM HOME MADE’s signature asymmetrical design and the iconic Evangelion Unit-01.
At its core, the “MONSTAR” jacket challenges conventional symmetry, embracing a philosophy of “fusion and conflict.” This design ethos draws inspiration from the legendary modified car “TRITON,” celebrated for its unprecedented speed achieved by merging the most powerful engine with the finest frame. Similarly, the “MONSTAR” jacket blends two distinct “perfect forms” of rider jacket design into a singular, asymmetrical entity.
The left side of the jacket exudes British rationality and aesthetics, characterized by sharp shoulder pads and a distinct waist belt. In contrast, the right side embodies the rugged, complete presence reminiscent of all original rider jacket prototypes. This deliberate asymmetry creates a visually striking piece that evolves rather than simply aiming for completion.
Evangelion Unit-01’s spirit is intricately woven into every detail. The jacket’s liner and cuff leather subtly incorporate colors that evoke Unit-01’s distinctive palette. The back boldly features the hand-drawn typography of “Multipurpose Humanoid Decisive Weapon. Artificial Human Evangelion Unit-01.” A symbolic Unit-01 print adorns the left sleeve, and even the snap buttons are custom-designed, serving as a subtle, exclusive nod for the wearer.
The deep black chrome-tanned cowhide ensures both durability and a beautiful evolution over time, promising a rich patina with wear. Premium zippers from TALON and SCOVILL GRIPPER are strategically placed, reflecting a commitment to quality. A touch of unexpected warmth and humor is found in the collar’s hidden pocket, designed to hold a disposable warmer. This thoughtful detail, along with the robust exterior, encapsulates the jacket’s blend of practicality and personality. As one fan might muse, “It’s more than just a jacket; it’s a statement piece that truly embodies the evolving spirit of Evangelion and cutting-edge fashion.”
All “MONSTAR” jackets are proudly made in Japan, reflecting a deep respect for Evangelion’s 30-year legacy and a forward-looking commitment to continuous evolution.
