Gold by Toyo Enterprise Jackets And Coats<Vietnam Jacket (Aged Model) Black

Gold by Toyo Enterprise offers a collection of vintage inspired garments manufactured by decades of precision, technique and experience gained by Toyo Enterprise in Japan. Offering modern style with a vintage aesthetic and practicality is what Gold bring to the fold. 

Souvenir jackets, also known as suka-jans have a vibrant a rich history dating back to the post-war occupation of Japan. Servicemen stationed overseas would have these jackets made for themselves or a loved one, embroidered with local motifs and imagery to bring home as a memento. 

Gold by Toyo Enterprise has produced a rare example of a Sukajan which dates to the late 50’s. Unlike the reversible, collarless satin and silk jacket produced around this time, the “Landscape” model more closely resembles the later ‘Vietnam’ souvenir jackets of the 1960s, with collar, buttoned cuffs and ‘windbreaker’ design. 

This model has been aged to emulate fading due to wear which you would find on worn examples; the cotton/twill shell has a grey-ish hue and mooted colour of the embroidered stitching.
