CROWS × WORST × Regulus Rokubujin Dragon & Phoenix Reversible Sukajan, Velveteen and Blue Satin, Size L

Bearing the original 六無人 (Rokubujin) label, this reversible sukajan carries the Dragon and Phoenix artwork that Regulus first introduced as the Kizu Kyosuke model for CROWS × WORST. One face is cool deep-blue satin, the other black velveteen, and each carries its own full rendering of the same celestial encounter.

The Piece

This CROWS × WORST × Regulus × 六無人 reversible sukajan is built around the Dragon and Phoenix design (龍と鳳凰, Ryū to Hōō) associated with Kizu Kyosuke (木津京介) and later officially marketed alongside Bouya Harumichi (坊屋春道). Regulus describes 六無人 / Rokubujin as its original Japanese-pattern (wagara) label, developed for its CROWS and WORST fashion projects, and credits it with the hand-developed Dragon and Phoenix artwork. The design was previewed for reservation in August 2016 and announced as arriving in December 2017; the surviving 六無人 neck label, the black velveteen face and the construction place this example in that original release period rather than the later revival.

On the deep-blue satin face, framed by smoky black raglan sleeves, a dragon and a white phoenix sweep across nearly the entire back. The dragon's long body curves from the upper shoulder, coils through the center and descends toward the opposite lower back, its overlapping scales worked in gray, charcoal, white and muted silver; its head emerges near the lower center with a long snout, open jaws, fine whiskers, antler-like horns, layered facial hair, sharp teeth, flowing tendrils and dense linework around the eyes and brow. The phoenix crosses it diagonally in pale embroidery, wings spread through the center and tail feathers curling across back and shoulder, its wing, breast and tail plumage separated by carefully directed rows of stitching. The palette is restrained to silver-white, pearl gray, charcoal, muted lavender-gray, pale blue and black, and the satin shifts from steel blue and cerulean to smoky turquoise, deep indigo and reflected silver as the light moves. On the front, a single large white phoenix rises diagonally from the torso toward the shoulder, an intentionally asymmetrical treatment; black-trimmed angled pockets and blue-and-black striped ribbing complete the face.

The black velveteen face reinterprets the composition in a warmer register. The dragon turns antique gold, cream, muted bronze, soft gray and charcoal, its golden whiskers and face heated against the dark pile; the phoenix stays predominantly white and silver, with small vermilion and orange-red accents at its crest, eye, face and feathers, and tail plumes that finish in heart- or eye-shaped details. Here the phoenix dominates the right side while the dragon coils behind and around it, its face at lower left looking up with open jaws, the two bodies forming an almost complete ring. The velveteen's directional nap shifts between deep black, charcoal, graphite, brown-black highlights and silvery areas. A white phoenix sweeps across the chest toward the shoulder, and ivory-white ribbing at collar, cuffs and waistband gives the illusion of two separate jackets sharing one structure.

The characters 六無人 are embroidered vertically near the lower back on both faces, tying each treatment to the Rokubujin design program. The dragon carries the composition's serpentine movement, associated in wagara fashion with strength, endurance, elemental power, protection, transformation and the energy of water and sky; the phoenix brings elevation and rebirth, suggesting renewal, virtue, grace, survival, celestial order and rising after destruction. One is built from repeated scales, the other from repeated feathers, and the embroidery turns the two textures into a single rhythm. Tonal changes come from thread color and direction alone: overlapping arcs for scales, long directional and scalloped stitches for feathers, narrow thread paths for whiskers, crests and tails.

CROWS, created by Hiroshi Takahashi, centers on Bouya Harumichi and the volatile world around Suzuran High School; Akita Shoten identifies Harumichi as the central figure, while Kizu Kyosuke receives a dedicated story in Zoku CROWS Gaiden. Regulus promoted the original artwork as the jacket Kizu wears on the cover of CROWS New Edition Volume 11. The piece is an original-era commercial character-model jacket, not an actor-worn costume or production-used prop.

Condition

• Genuine pre-owned collector jacket in very good overall pre-owned condition, offered as is, with the principal embroidery retaining strong definition on both faces.
• Deep-blue satin face: natural wrinkling and rippling, reflective tonal variation, soft creasing across the body, minor folding or storage impressions, gentle wear around high-contact areas and natural movement near the waistband and zipper; possible small thread irregularities in the dense embroidery. Scales, feathers, whiskers and facial details retain substantial thread coverage.
• Black velveteen face: directional variation and light and dark areas in the pile caused by the nap, soft creasing through body and sleeves, minor surface impressions, gentle shaping from wear and storage, and possible small fibers or lint; the pile appears rich and continuous.
• Rib-knit trim may show light fuzzing, gentle relaxation, minor waviness and subtle handling wear.
• No large missing areas, severe unraveling or major distortion in the embroidery; small projecting threads or localized stitch movement may be present.
• No obvious large holes, major tears or seam failures. Color may read slightly differently with lighting, screen and the direction of the satin or pile; the photographs form an essential part of the description.

Sizing Guidance

This Japanese-market large has a compact sukajan silhouette. Depending on build and layering it may correspond approximately to a fitted Western Medium, a relaxed Western Small or a traditional Japanese Large; this is only a general guide, and flat-lay measurements should take priority over the letter size.

For reference only, a comparable original-era size L example has been recorded at approximately 55 cm across the chest, 62 cm in length and 88 cm center-back-to-cuff. These figures are contextual and are not measurements of this jacket.

• Chest width, armpit to armpit
• Back length from the base of the collar
• Hem width across the rib-knit waistband
• Sleeve length from center back collar to cuff

Styling, Display and Care

The blue face works with black straight-leg or faded gray denim, dark cargos, engineer boots or high-tops, minimal black shirts and silver accessories. The black velveteen face suits raw selvedge denim, wide black trousers, cream T-shirts, leather boots and rockabilly, Amekaji or Visual Kei-inspired styling. Displayed blue side out it reads as a monochrome manga illustration moving across water; black side out, as a gold-and-white dragon-phoenix panel against velvet darkness.

Rayon and velveteen react poorly to water and agitation; professional dry cleaning by a specialist familiar with reversible embroidered jackets is strongly recommended, as Regulus advises for its rayon sukajan because the material tends to shrink when wet. Hang on a wide padded hanger to support the raglan shoulders without stretching the collar, and avoid direct sunlight, excessive humidity and prolonged compression.

Authenticity & Care

Carries the earlier dedicated 六無人 woven label with tag size L beneath it, rather than the newer CRJK-2501 model code of the Regulus revival. Comparable original-collaboration examples have been catalogued in cotton and rayon textiles, while the revival is specified as 100% rayon. Every piece is examined and documented in Japan before dispatch and is offered with the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
