With Anders’ birthday approaching, Lauren knew exactly what to get him. The gold cord had already earned a reputation in their circle, so when he opened the gift his reaction said it all: “Oh my god, it’s the jacket.” Once he had the jacket in person, it became irresistible once his friends started trying it on. And one by one, Anders and each of his friends had the jacket.

Soon enough, the jacket became a city-wide obsession. The community of St. Paul took to X and BlueSky to discuss the new staple of St. Paul with photos of their newly acquired Vintage Cords, memes, and a boosted pride in the city itself. Quickly after the wave of online buzz the Saints had fully sold out of the jackets, and now a much-anticipated pre-order for May is taking place.

Crafted from 100% premium gold corduroy as a nod to working class St. Paul citizens, the St. Paul Vintage Cord Jacket was built to feel like a timeless piece from day one. “St. Paul” is emblazoned in lettering inspired by the Saints away jersey across the chest, while the crest emblem from the city’s flag anchors the back in a matching red and gold. Navy satin lining and striped rib trim at the collar, cuffs, and hem bring depth and contrast, elevating the vintage varsity silhouette into the new city staple of St. Paul.

The St. Paul Vintage Cord is available now for pre-order.
