Product Description

Crafted from acetate fabric, this unisex jacket merges traditional Japanese artistry with a classic baseball jacket silhouette. Ideal for adding a unique touch to any outfit, it highlights both heritage and contemporary style, perfect for fashion enthusiasts seeking something special and versatile. From the brand: In the midst of the post war chaos, the streets of Ginza, Tokyo became flooded with street stalls selling traditional Japanese items such as kimonos to American officers. Soon, the streets were swarmed with Americans hunting for souvenirs to take back to their home country. Seeing the vast amount of U.S. military soldiers surrounding the street stalls, an employee of Kosho & Co. came up with a radical idea. The employee devised the creation of a jacket featuring embroidered oriental designs. In order to implement this, craftsmen from cities of Kiryu and Ashikaga were gathered for the embroider. They incorporated the details of a baseball jacket, an already familiar design to the Americans. Due to the scarcity of silk, acetate was used as a substitution, a very similar material. Kosho & Co. sold these jackets on the street stalls, and immediately saw a spike in demand. This is a unisex item, size Small fits ladies.
