TAILOR TOYO, originating from the pre-war company 'Port Merchant,' has been crafting souvenir jackets for over half a century since the era when American soldiers were stationed in Japan. This brand has continuously preserved the Sukajan (souvenir jacket) as a cultural artifact rather than a fleeting trend, embodying the original essence of the Sukajan.

TAILOR TOYO Story

In the chaos following the war, the Ginza area was crowded with stalls catering to American military officers, brimming with soldiers eager for traditional Japanese items like kimonos and obis as souvenirs. Witnessing this demand, an employee from Port Merchant conceived the idea of a jumper with oriental embroidery as a souvenir, marking the birth of what is now known as 'Sukajan'—a garment originating from Japan.
