Across its back, the islands of Japan are traced in gold thread, crowded with place names, a pagoda, chrysanthemums and a coiling blue and red dragon beneath the script word Japan. A pair of eagles in white and brown faces off across the chest, and white piping edges the slanted pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn it inside out and the jacket moves north. On the black velveteen back, a white polar bear rears on an ice floe between bolts of orange lightning, framed by ALASKA in red and white lettering above and the line America's Last Frontier below. Smaller bears and lightning repeat on the chest, and white wolves run in a column down each sleeve. Cream rib closes the collar, cuffs and hem on both faces, and the zip carries a YSK pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alaska and Japan pairing belongs to the souvenir jacket's original language, garments embroidered to record a posting or a journey, and few designs show both destinations so fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unbranded; no maker's label shown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reversible zip-front souvenir jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShell:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black velveteen; reverse crimson and silver satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbroidery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polar bear, lightning, Alaska lettering and wolves; Japan map, dragon, pagoda and eagles on the reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and cream; reverse crimson, silver and cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not marked; fits as XL by measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder:\u003c\/strong\u003e being confirmed against our archive records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChest width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61 cm (24.0 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64 cm (25.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve (centre back to cuff):\u003c\/strong\u003e 91 cm (35.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured flat by hand; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 2 cm (0.5 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight wear overall, with marks noted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible soiling on the silver satin sleeves of the crimson face, and light marks to the cream rib.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbroidery complete on both faces; every photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (good, light wear)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChecked and photographed in Japan before dispatch.
