Drawings Featuring Souvenir Jackets - A Mélange of Cultures

Souvenir jackets, or sukajan in Japanese, are a type of embroidered jacket inspired by baseball jackets dating from the end of World War II. They are often adorned with motifs similar to Japanese tattoo designs, such as dragons, tigers, and flowers, making for a stunning fusion of North American and Japanese fashion. Paired with jeans, skirts, or even traditional clothing such as hakama and kimono, they’re the perfect addition to any street-style outfit!
