Tailor Toyo Japan Map & Gold Dragon Reversible Sukajan Jacket

If you have ever seen sukajan jackets sold at Tokyo markets, you will have noticed that their designs are generally less complicated than the ones in the Tailor Toyo Japan Map & Gold Dragon Reversible Sukajan Jacket. In case you're wondering why, it's because those designs are machine-made whereas the ones on the Tailor Toyo are done by hand, the same way they have been for the last 70 years that the company has been producing these jackets.

The designs on the Tailor Toyo Japan Map & Gold Dragon Reversible Sukajan Jacket are truly spectacular: the map of Japan on the back (the black/gold side) is especially amazing and includes all the big cities (including Yokosuka in Kanagawa Prefecture, where these jackets were first made), Mount Fuji, and a pagoda. Essentially two jackets (black with gold sleeves and blue with white sleeves – you can wear it inside out too), made of acetate, and available in six sizes, this jacket is both fashionable and a piece of postwar Japanese history!
