It is a meeting of Parisian designer fashion and the Yokosuka embroidery tradition, offered in the house's size 40.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage Jean Paul Gaultier bomber borrows the form of the sukajan, the embroidered souvenir jacket that grew out of postwar Yokosuka, and fills it with motifs that move between France and Japan: the niwatori (chicken), flowers, and France and Paris references, worked in a tattoo-art embroidery style on a green ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pairing is apt. In Japan the niwatori is a familiar presence in painting and textile design, while in France the rooster has long served as a national emblem, so the jacket reads as a cross-cultural dialogue rather than a simple homage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jean Paul Gaultier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 (manufacturer's size; M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 57 cm · Width 50 cm · Arm length, top 65 cm · Arm length, bottom 52 cm (approximate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotifs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Niwatori (chicken), flowers, France and Paris; tattoo-art embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts present condition is shown in full in the accompanying photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is examined and documented in Japan before dispatch and is offered with the Japonista authenticity guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery from Japan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacked by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service.
