Columbia Celebrates 30th Anniversary of Iconic Fishing Shirt, Bahama Shirt, with 'The Bahama 30th ANNIVERSARY EVENT'

Since its founding in 1938, Columbia (Columbia Sportswear Japan Inc., Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo / Representative: Massimo Lazzari) has consistently offered highly original and innovative outdoor wear. In collaboration with JAM VINTAGE & SELECT (JAM TRADING Co., Ltd., Osaka-shi, Osaka / Representative Director: Masanori Fukushima), Japan's largest overseas vintage clothing retailer, Columbia will hold "The Bahama 30th ANNIVERSARY EVENT" to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its popular fishing shirt, the Bahama Shirt, which was first launched in 1996.

The "Bahama Shirt," which debuted in 1996 when Columbia launched its fishing-specific line "Columbia PFG (Performance Fishing Gear)," featured highly refined details from its initial release. Its comfortable fit made it a beloved, brand-representative item, not only for fishing but also as everyday wear and as uniforms for various companies.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Bahama Shirt, "The Bahama 30th ANNIVERSARY EVENT" will be held for three days from May 15th to 17th at "COLUMBIA TOKYO FLAGSHIP," Columbia's flagship store located along Meiji-dori in Harajuku, Tokyo, and at "JAM VINTAGE & SELECT Harajuku Store," Tokyo's largest vintage clothing store also on Meiji-dori.

During the event period, "COLUMBIA TOKYO FLAGSHIP" will feature an exhibition of archive items tracing the 30-year history of the Bahama Shirt, using carefully selected items from JAM VINTAGE & SELECT's vast inventory, as well as rare items with custom embroidery from various companies and organizations.

Additionally, customers who purchase a Bahama Shirt during the same period will be eligible for an original embroidery service using archive designs from Columbia PFG.

Meanwhile, "JAM VINTAGE & SELECT Harajuku Store" will feature a "Bahama Shirt POP UP" corner showcasing old design Bahama Shirts not currently available, past limited-edition colors, and unique vintage items with custom embroidery from overseas.

During the event, visitors to the above stores will receive an original booklet, "The Bahama 30th ANNIVERSARY Booklet," supervised by men's fashion magazine 2nd. Furthermore, visitors to both Columbia and JAM stores will receive an event-exclusive novelty item, a "Columbia PFG Sticker." (Quantities are limited and available while supplies last.)
