TAILOR TOYO TT15877-219 Late 1950s Style Acetate Souvenir Jacket "USS PRINCETON" x "MAIKO" USS Princeton x Maiko Sukajan, Reversible Two-Tone Acetate Fabric with Embroidery

This military-patterned sukajan jacket was produced in limited quantities at the time and is rare even in the vintage market.

The motif on the surface is the US Navy aircraft carrier Princeton.

The 77th Task Force markings on the chest and the number CV-37 on the back indicate that this was custom-ordered for the unit during its visit to Japan between 1950 and 1952 during the Korean War .

The body is black and silver, while the piping and ribbing on the sleeves are navy, and the tones of the dark colors are deliberately offset to prevent the overall look from being too cohesive, a design that echoes vintage styles.

The reversible side also features a maiko pattern, which is rare in the vintage market.

There are designs that combine a Japan map with a maiko, but designs that feature a large maiko as the main character are extremely rare.

The body is a reverse color scheme of champagne gold and wine red, and the beautiful back view of a maiko is meticulously depicted in horizontal embroidery, with her carefully tied hair, kimono with a loosely tied long obi, and more .

 ACETATE SOUVENIR JACKET

This reversible type is the most standard among souvenir jackets, with acetate fabric on both sides .

In the post-war period, Sukajan jackets were made from acetate, a non-controlled material that has a luxurious feel similar to silk.

Since it has no padding, it can be worn in any season, and its unique drape is also an attractive feature.

Please note that slight variations in dimensions may occur depending on the characteristics of the material and the finishing method. Also, the color of the product may differ slightly from the actual color depending on the settings and environment of your device.
