Across the back, Godzilla rears above a block of city buildings, stitched in grey, white and silver thread with the fine hatching of an old film still, while the katakana title runs down the left side in bold red embroidery. On the chest the same red title sits over the year 1954, and the raglan sleeves are cut from charcoal satin, finished in black rib at collar, cuffs and hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn it inside out and the mood softens. The reverse is black satin with cream sleeves, and the back is given over to a scene of old Kyoto: wooden townhouses, a figure in a red kimono on stone steps, drifting clouds, and the monster's silhouette rising behind the rooftops as a winged shape crosses an orange sun, all beneath the word Kyoto in white script. A smaller vignette of Godzilla before the sun sits on the chest, and the rib is striped in black and sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSakura Style works in the embroidered souvenir tradition that grew up around Yokosuka after the war; here it is turned on Toho's first and most solemn monster film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sakura Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e GZL-2401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reversible souvenir jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShell:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% rayon satin, both faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbroidery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Godzilla over the city with katakana title; Kyoto night scene with Godzilla silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with charcoal sleeves; reverse black with cream sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChest width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 cm (24.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 69 cm (27.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e centre back to cuff 91 cm (35.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigures follow the maker's size chart for XL; 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\u003eUnused.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photographs are the maker's own studio views, worn by a model of 175 cm in size M; every photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eN (new, unused)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/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.
