Tailor Toyo Lot. TT15531 / Souvenir Jacket “Duelling Dragon x Japan”
Original price was: SGD1,119.00.SGD783.30Current price is: SGD783.30.
In honor of the zodiac sign of 2024, the dragon, the Year of the Dragon collection is a reproduction of a dragon pattern selected from a large number of vintage skajans. This time, as a special edition, Tailor Toyo reprint the “Printed Sukajan”, which was only made for a short period of time from the late 1940’s to the early 1950’s.
The surface is embroidered with two dragons glaring at each other with Mt. Fuji in between. The design is not filled with embroidery, but the black acetate fabric used as the base is used effectively to make the dragon drawn with delicately colored threads stand out. When we look into the materials from the time, we find that it was created by a skilled Japanese embroidery craftsman, and it has a dignified finish that makes it look like a Japanese painting. The original vintage specifications have been reproduced, including the dragon embroidery on the chest, which is larger than usual, and the three lines on the sleeves.
The reversible side has a printed Japan map pattern. Instead of printing using modern machines, printing is done by hand, in which a plate is created one color at a time, and then the plates are printed over and over again by hand.This method requires time, effort, and advanced technology, so it was not possible to print at the time. Very few. Moreover, this design, which features a map of Japan along with castles and landscapes, is especially rare among printed Skajan jackets, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is impossible to obtain on the vintage market. The dragon on the chest is drawn in a size that would be impossible to find on an embroidered Sukajan jacket, and due to its powerful design and vintage rarity, it has been reprinted as a special edition for the Year of the Dragon.
“KOSHO & CO.” SPECIAL EDITION
This special edition is a reproduction of carefully selected masterpieces from Taylor Toyo’s collection with great attention to detail. In addition to the detailed designs drawn with horizontal embroidery, the acetate fabric is adjusted to create a vintage-like finish, and the wool ribs are knitted one by one using an old-fashioned flat knitting machine. For the reversible zippers, we restarted the fastening machines that were used more than 50 years ago and recreated the same hand-bending ones that were used back then. Using the label of Kosho Shokai, the predecessor of Taylor Toyo, the finish is reminiscent of the heyday of vintage skajans.

A New Series Built on the Boxy Silhouette"
From the late 1980s through the 1990s, brands embedded in street, hip-hop, and skate culture—where oversized fits reigned supreme—began introducing pieces with clean, box-like square cuts. Combining a generous profile with a tailored drape that never looks sloppy, this refined balance was soon embraced by luxury fashion and designer houses alike.
Now that broad oversized fits have become a modern standard, this boxy silhouette offers familiar comfort while delivering an effortless, relaxed aesthetic. Designed with a graffiti-style overlay layered on top of photography depicting the streetscapes of 1970s and 1980s New York City.
"New York Streetscapes & Iconic Soundtracks"
Captured in dramatic monochrome, this photo features the gritty streets of Midtown Manhattan during the 1970s and 1980s. Unlike today, New York in this era was notorious for high crime rates and urban decay. Yet amidst this chaotic backdrop, the low rents and lawless energy drew together young creatives and artists, turning the city into the undisputed birthplace of modern street culture.
Layered over this raw street scene is a hand-lettered phrase inspired by an iconic track from a Nobel Prize-winning singer-songwriter. Printed via crisp inkjet technology to ensure the photograph's tonal depth and fine details shine through.
