Sukajan Jacket




Sukajan is a jacket with Japanese motif embroideries such as dragons, eagles and tigers on it. They have a similar look as basic style of American standard Letterman jackets, but sukajans are normally made with satin fabric and reversible. So is mine!

Sukajan is originated when American Soldiers at Yokosuka Air Force Base (hence the name "Sukajan" Jan being short for jumper or jacket) ordered Japanese motif embroidery on their jackets after the World War Ⅱperiod. 

I got this vintage one from 10 Ft. Single By Stella Dallas in Williamsburg. 
It was a pleasure to find this kind of interesting jacket in New York.
