革ジャン

Leather Jacket


Meaning

Leather Jacket

Word Type

noun

Explanation

革 is leather and ジャン is short for ジャンパー (Jumper, like a jacket). So, put those together and you have a leather jacket. This word is getting somewhat outdated. The trendier term now is レザージャケット.


Reading

かわじゃん, かわジャン

Explanation

The reading is the same as the vocab word 革, because this word is like two separate words put together (so it's treated as single words too, giving it that reading).
