The fox in wine velvet
The nine-tailed fox is one of Japanese folklore's great shape-shifters, and here it takes the place the dragon or tiger usually holds on a sukajan back. Worked in pale thread on bordeaux velveteen with a camel rib, it is the souvenir jacket rewritten as a rock wardrobe piece, made in Japan with an oversized, dropped-shoulder cut.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer sukajan; velveteen and folklore-motif wardrobes
Condition notes

An el conductorH sukajan from the PASSION DESIRE label, reference PD23AJ06: bordeaux cotton velveteen embroidered in pale silver and cream with a nine-tailed fox beneath the word Japan, twin fox heads on the chest, and camel rib. Made in Japan; tagged 2.
The Piece
The back carries the jacket's whole legend. A white fox turns in mid-stride, its fan of tails flaring above it, the nine-tailed fox of Japanese folklore, with Japan written in script overhead. Two fox heads face each other across the chest, and pale embroidery climbs each sleeve.
The cut is generous and dropped at the shoulder, with raglan seams traced in pale piping and a deep camel rib at the collar, cuffs and hem. The velveteen gives the deep wine colour a soft, light-catching pile, and a small silver diamond patch sits at one cuff. A silver chain hanging loop sits at the neck.
el conductorH is a Japanese label with a rock-and-roll sensibility; the care label states Made in Japan.
