This men's casual Japanese souvenir jacket, also known as a Sukajan, is produced by Tailor Toyo, a division of Toyo Enterprises, and is made in China. This reversible Sukajan features one side made from quilted acetate satin and the other side from non-quilted acetate satin. Both sides are beautifully embroidered, and the jacket is designed with padding for added moderate warmth. The Japanese souvenir jacket, also known as a "Sukajan" or "Japanese bomber jacket," has its roots in post-World War II Japan. American soldiers stationed in Japan had these jackets custom-made, featuring intricate oriental designs, such as dragons and tigers, along with the names of their units or bases. These jackets served as unique mementos of their time in Japan. At that time, the company now known as Tailor Toyo (Toyo Enterprises) played a significant role in supplying these jackets to the Post Exchange (PX) stores located on U.S. military bases. Originally named "KOSHO & CO.," this company has been preserving the craftsmanship and tradition of Sukajan since the 1940s. In 1965, Toyo Enterprises was established, continuing this legacy under the Tailor Toyo label. This particular Sukajan is a new creation by Tailor Toyo, carrying on the rich history and meticulous craftsmanship that have made these jackets iconic. This brand-new Sukajan has been designed to capture the timeless charm and character of a vintage piece. From the moment you receive it, you will experience the authentic look and feel of a well-worn classic, all while enjoying the quality of a new product. The fabric of this jacket is made up of 2 layers. This jacket is constructed with one side made of quilted acetate satin and the other side of non-quilted acetate satin. A small amount of padding is sandwiched between the two sides, providing moderate warmth. Fully reversible, both sides feature intricate vintage-style embroidery, offering two distinct looks in one. It features a fully reversible design with a front zip closure, raglan sleeves with rope-style piping, and striped knit ribbed cuffs, collar, and waistband. The embroidered designs on this jacket include the restored 'Red Tiger' and 'Japan Map' motifs, inspired by original patterns from the 1950s. This product is offered in Japanese (Asian) sizes, which tend to run slightly smaller than US and EU sizes. For reference, a tagged size Japan M would fit those who typically wear a US/EU size S-M or 36-38. The jacket has a modern, cropped fit with a shorter length, giving it a stylish and trendy appearance.
