After WWII had ended, US soldiers looking for a memento took their tanker jackets to local Japanese craftsmen to have their garments embroidered with animals, maps, patterns, and other Asian iconography. 70 years later brands like Gucci & Louis Vuitton are creating their own Sukajan inspired bombers, and they look dope.
BTW “Sukajan” is short for “Yokosuka Jumper” and comes from the translation “Sky Dragon”. If you call me “Sky Dragon Stefan” then I’ll be excited and send you a GIF.
