187th Infantry Regiment — Rakkasans
They descended from the sky and rewrote history. The soldiers of the 187th Infantry Regiment were the first foreign troops to set foot on Japanese soil in over 2,000 years — airborne paratroopers posted across northern Honshu and Hokkaido during the post-WWII occupation. The Japanese people named them Rakkasans — "falling umbrella" — a title earned in the air and worn with pride ever since.
This long sleeve tee is crafted for those who carry that legacy on their sleeve — literally.
