KOSHO & CO. Jacket Tailor Toyo Sukajan Men's Japanese Souvenir Jacket Dragon Embroidery x Japan Map Print TT15531 TT15531-119

This product is a lightweight satin sukajan jacket from the Tailor Toyo "KOSHO & CO. Special Edition Collection" by Toyo Enterprises in Japan. It is reversible, with embroidery on one side and a print on the other, designed without padding for a sleek look. The Japanese souvenir jacket, also known as a "Sukajan or Japanese bomber jackets," originated after World War II when American soldiers stationed in Japan had jackets embroidered with oriental designs, along with the names of their units or bases, as a memento of their time in Japan. At that time, the precursor to the company known today as Tailor Toyo (Toyo Enterprises) was supplying these souvenir jackets to PX, which stands for Post Exchange, a retail store located within U.S. military bases. This company was originally named "KOSHO & CO." This item from the "KOSHO & CO. Special Edition Collection" is a replica that faithfully reproduces the original Sukajan jackets made by KOSHO & CO., using the same traditional old manufacturing techniques for everything, including the fabric, knit ribbing, embroidery, prints, and zipper. Although it is newly made, this item has a vintage look and appearance with faded fabric texture, loosely styled old-fashioned embroidery and ribbed knitting, along with a retro, old-style zipper. The fabric of this jacket is made up of 2 layers. This jacket is constructed from a acetate satin outer shell and acetate satin lining shell. This jacket is fully reversible and unfilled, one side (dragon pattern) is customized with vintage-style embroidery technique and the other side (Japan map pattern) is customized with vintage-style hand printing technique. It features fully reversible, frontal zip closure, contrast raglan sleeves, striped knit ribbed sleeve ends/collar/waistband. And the graphic on this jacket is based on the DUELLING DRAGONS x JAPAN MAP, which graphics are reproduction that once existed. And the fabric, sewing, zip and embroidery/printing techniques of this jacket have been recreated exactly in the same way as in 1950s to resurrect the vintage look and feel. So this jacket is brand new, but has been processed to give it a fashionable faded vintage feel. This jacket is available in Japan (Asian) sizes. It is designed with a regular-fit (Not too slim or Not loose) with short in the body length. Toyo Enterprises has tailored this jacket for a more contemporary cut that suits a fashionable casual look, making it more modern than vintage versions. This light piece of outerwear can be worn year-round, especially in spring and fall. This jacket is a new, original creation by Tailor Tailor Toyo "KOSHO & CO. Special Edition Collection" by Toyo Enterprise.
