We have faithfully reproduced a mid-1950s piece we were fortunate enough to acquire in recent years. The motif is the so-called “Tiger Head,” a design focused solely on the face of a tiger; however, unlike the more commonly seen versions, this upward-looking composition—gazing toward the sky—is exceptionally rare even among true vintage examples. The tiger stripes (torafu) stitched into the face are also notably intricate and distinctive. By rendering the black striping like shadow, the embroidery’s dimensionality is emphasized even further. The body pairs blue and silver and is crisply framed by red ribbing—an unmistakable tricolor palette—while the vivid embroidery serves as a striking finishing accent.
On the reversible side is a Japan map design. With no “JAPAN” lettering, the map of Japan and its place names are boldly embroidered across an orange body, yet the thread colors are intentionally kept within the same tonal family so the embroidery settles naturally into the fabric—making the blues on the sleeves and Mt. Fuji stand out with calculated contrast. The chest motif is the same on both sides, as it was originally produced from the same embroidery pattern at the time; look closely, though, and you’ll notice the embroidery thread colors are subtly changed to suit each body color. This, too, is a vintage-correct detail carried over into the reproduction.

Product Details

ACETATE SOUVENIR JACKET
Among souvenir jackets, this is the most classic configuration: a fully reversible design with acetate fabric used on both sides. In the immediate postwar era, many original sukajan jackets were made from acetate—a material outside wartime rationing controls that offered a refined, silk-like luster and a sense of luxury despite the scarcity of resources at the time.
Because the jacket is constructed without padding, it can be worn comfortably across seasons. The fluid drape unique to acetate further enhances its appeal, giving the garment a distinctive elegance that sets it apart from heavier, insulated styles.
