Original U.S. Vietnam War Japanese Made Double-Sided Sukajan Tour Jacket with Tiger & Birds
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic example of a souvenir tour jacket from the Vietnam War Era. These jackets were often requested to be made as a memento for a Soldiers’ time in country, usually made from already existing uniforms and or material. This example is a great double-side Sukajan. It can be worn normally or inside out, with embroidered designs on both sides.
The back of the jacket reads JAPAN with a sitting embroidered tiger. The front features embroidered birds on both sides with a yellow, green, and white trim on the top and bottom of the jacket. When turned inside out, the jacket is white with tigers on the front in place of the birds, with a Tiger’s head and JAPAN on the back. The trim is red, yellow, and white on this side. There are two pockets on the front and two on the interior, so there are always pockets whichever way it is turned.
This is a gorgeous piece of period vintage clothing likely worn and brought back by a G.I. to commemorate his time on leave in Japan during the war. There are some small tears at the seams showing heavy use during the period. This is a great souvenir piece, ready for further research and display!
