2015 Kantai Collection Akagi Sukajan Jacket Large Reversible Anime Dragon Sakura Embroidered KanColle Bomber Deadstock

Official KanColle Aircraft Carrier Akagi Reversible Rayon Souvenir Jacket with Twin Dragons, Cherry Blossoms - Deadstock

A rare fusion of anime history, Japanese military-inspired storytelling and ornate sukajan design, this officially licensed Kantai Collection: KanColle jacket transforms the aircraft carrier Akagi into a dramatic piece of wearable art.

Dating to 2015, the jacket features two fully wearable sides, each built around richly illustrated scenes of Akagi surrounded by dragons, cherry blossoms, turbulent water and atmospheric clouds. The black, silver, red and gold palette gives the garment a darker, more theatrical character than the playful colors often associated with anime merchandise.

Original hang tags remain attached, including the KanColle character tag, licensing information and model identification.

A Reversible Tale of Akagi and the Dragon

Black and Silver Side

The primary black side presents Akagi against a dense landscape of coiling Japanese dragons, sakura branches and falling petals.

The front is divided into two mirrored dragon compositions, their bodies twisting through cherry blossoms across the chest and shoulders. Gold embroidered kanji adds a flash of color against the restrained charcoal, silver and muted pink palette.

Across the back, the embroidered inscription reads:

Aircraft Carrier Akagi

Akagi stands at the center carrying her stylized flight deck and archery equipment, framed by two dark dragons, storm clouds, water currents and drifting blossoms. The scene combines printed illustration with embroidered lettering and selected textile details, creating depth without overwhelming the fluid rayon surface.

Red and White Side

Reversing the jacket reveals a brighter composition with white sleeves, deep crimson shoulder panels and a black central body.

A monumental dragon coils beneath Akagi on the back while cherry blossoms scatter across the surrounding branches and water. The red-and-white architecture recalls both the Japanese flag and Akagi’s shrine-maiden-inspired costume design.

The reversible construction offers two distinct moods:

Black and silver: dark, intricate and gothic
Red and white: vivid, graphic and unmistakably Japanese

Aircraft Carrier Akagi

Akagi is one of the signature fleet characters from Kantai Collection, represented through a hybrid visual language of naval history, anime character design and traditional Japanese symbolism.

Her long flight deck and archery equipment reinterpret the role of an aircraft carrier through the imagery of a kyūdō archer. The surrounding dragons amplify the jacket’s sense of power and protection, while cherry blossoms introduce beauty, impermanence and the fleeting intensity of battle.

The contrast between the delicate sakura petals and the heavily scaled dragons gives the artwork its distinctive tension: elegance floating through controlled chaos.

Embroidery and Construction

The jacket is made with a smooth rayon outer fabric and rayon reverse, allowing both sides to function as finished exteriors.

Design details include:

• Fully reversible sukajan construction
• Large Akagi character artwork on both back panels
• Twin dragon compositions across the chest
• Cherry blossom and falling-petal imagery
• Gold embroidered lettering and kanji
• Black, silver, red and white color architecture
• Raglan-style sleeves
• Striped rib-knit collar, cuffs and waistband
• Slanted hand pockets on both wearable sides
• Full-length metal zipper
• Original KanColle hang tags
• Official licensing hologram

The extensive imagery is created through a combination of embroidery and printed textile artwork, giving the jacket a lighter and more flexible feel than an entirely thread-covered sukajan.
