TAILOR TOYO
TAILOR TOYO / Satin Embroidered Souvenir Jacket
Archival embroidery from the mid-1950s has been reconstructed. The "119/White Tiger x Gold Dragon" features a white tiger roaring diagonally upward. The monotone embroidery on the black-and-white body and the dragon leaping from the clouds on the vivid blue body on the reverse side are the three major motifs of the jacket: eagle, tiger, and dragon.
The "145/Eagle & Tiger x Rolling Tiger" is a dynamic embroidery of an eagle and tiger staring at each other. The vivid gradation embroidery and the delicate dragon on the green background are both powerful and precise, just like the souvenir jacket of yesteryear. The reverse side features a powerful tiger embroidered in a horizontal swing, and the pink and black color scheme is reminiscent of the atmosphere of that era.

TAILOR TOYO
The souvenir jacket—known as the “Sukajan”—is synonymous with Tailor Toyo’s heritage. Originating in postwar Japan, these embroidered jackets were created for U.S. soldiers stationed in Japan as keepsakes featuring oriental motifs and unit emblems. The predecessor of Tailor Toyo, “Kosho & Co.,” supplied these garments to U.S. military bases, establishing a legacy that continues today. More than a fleeting trend, Tailor Toyo remains the only brand to have carried this culture forward as a true craft. 
Elegant Luster and Flowing Drape
The acetate body reproduces the luxurious look of silk found in vintage postwar souvenir jacket. It offers a distinctive sheen and fluid drape, capturing the movement of the fabric with each gesture.
By omitting insulation, it’s light enough for year-round wear—perfect from spring through fall, or layered as a light outer in winter. Its reversible design delivers two distinct looks, each with its own character and charm. 
145 / Eagle & Tiger × Rolling Tiger
Front: The chest features a dragon outlined using the base color of the fabric, accompanied by a stylized Mount Fuji—an homage to Japan’s iconic landscape.
The back depicts an eagle and tiger in vibrant, gradient embroidery. The omission of the word “Japan” allows the bold motif to take center stage.
Reverse: Two facing tiger heads adorn the chest, while the back showcases a muscular, hand-embroidered tiger. The pink-and-black colorway captures an authentic vintage atmosphere. 
119 / White Tiger × Gold Dragon
Front: The chest features mirrored white tigers, with a roaring white tiger dominating the back. The embroidery density varies to emphasize texture, leaving black accents within the stripes for dimensional contrast.
Black ribbing and piping further enhance the tiger’s commanding presence.
Reverse: The chest is decorated with an eagle and tiger motif, while the back features a golden dragon over crashing waves and clouds, rendered in striking blue with black outlines to emphasize depth and perspective—a dynamic composition of classic souvenir jacket themes. 
The front zipper uses an original “T.Y.E.” butterfly puller, inspired by the hand-bent zippers of the 1950s. This reversible, dual-sided design faithfully reproduces the feel of early souvenir jacket hardware. 
The collar, cuffs, and hem feature ribbed finishes reminiscent of classic American baseball jackets—a nod to the styles familiar to U.S. servicemen of the era. 
Slash pockets with a single-welt finish add functional charm. Each side uses different colors for contrast, bringing playful detail to the reversible construction. 
Classic Spirit, Contemporary Refinement
The silhouette faithfully recreates the compact proportions of vintage souvenir jacket styles. Lightweight and easy to wear, it serves as a statement piece that anchors any outfit. Both sides stand out on their own, offering a fresh perspective with every wear.
Available in sizes M through 3XL, it accommodates both tailored and relaxed fits—allowing you to enjoy the timeless souvenir jacket silhouette in your preferred balance of style and comfort.

Staff comment
| ● Staff (165cm / 52kg) Body type: Slim Wearing size: M / L Size M fits just right, with moderate room around the body. The sleeves reach the wrists, and the hem falls about one-third down the hips. Size L offers a more relaxed fit, with enough sleeve length to create a gentle fold and a hem that covers about two-thirds of the hips. The way the sleeves drape looks stylish, so I’d personally choose size L. |
| ● Staff (171cm / 61kg) Body type: Average Wearing size: L / XL A comfortably relaxed fit overall. The body and sleeve length both have ample room, with sleeves overlapping slightly at the wrists. The hem covers about one-third of the hips. Size XL adds even more room in the body, with sleeves forming a soft fold and the hem covering about half of the hips. For a clean look with tailored trousers, size L works best, while size XL pairs well with cargo pants or other casual styles. |
| ● Staff (177cm / 67kg) Body type: Average Wearing size: XL Size XL provides the same balance as the model shown in the photos. It feels like a true fit, yet allows easy arm movement without tightness. The length is slightly cropped, making it great for layered styling. If you plan to wear thicker inner layers in winter, a more spacious XXL is recommended. |
| ● Staff (181cm / 80kg) Body type: Solid build Wearing size: XXL / XXXL True to size, with plenty of room across the body for a solid build. The length is short, covering about one-third of the hips, and the overall balance feels clean and well-proportioned. Size XXXL provides a more relaxed silhouette, with longer sleeves and a hem that covers about two-thirds of the hips. |
