Vintage WAREHOUSE Reversible Sukajan Jacket Size 38 Eagle Dragon Mount Fuji Japanese Souvenir Bomber S M

Rare Two-Sided WAREHOUSE Sukajan with Quilted Eagle and Pine Artwork, Dragon, Mount Fuji, Tiger, Cherry Blossoms, and Four-Color Satin Construction

A richly detailed vintage WAREHOUSE reversible sukajan presenting two completely different Japanese souvenir-jacket compositions in one highly collectible garment.

One side pairs a deep burgundy quilted body with ivory satin sleeves and dusty-pink racing stripes. Its back is dominated by a large eagle descending through Japanese pine branches beneath bold JAPAN lettering.

Reverse the jacket to reveal a navy-blue and golden-yellow satin side featuring an embroidered dragon circling Mount Fuji, cherry blossoms, cloud formations, a roaring tiger, and a second eagle.

From the wine-red quilted artwork to the embroidered blue-and-gold reverse, this jacket has the shifting personality of two vintage garments stitched into one wearable archive.

Burgundy Eagle and Pine Side

The first face is built around a luxurious burgundy central panel with large diamond quilting.

Across the back, a dramatic eagle sweeps downward toward a patterned pine branch, its white, black, brown, and ochre plumage surrounded by stylized Japanese pine needles. Large JAPAN lettering crowns the composition in warm red and gold.

The back artwork has the character of an illustrated vintage textile panel rather than a conventional modern logo. Quilting passes through the composition, adding structure and a softly padded dimensional effect.

The front carries two mirrored descending eagles positioned across the chest. Ivory sleeves are framed by dusty-pink shoulder and arm stripes, while burgundy ribbing with cream, red, and gold bands completes the palette.

This side feels elegant, nostalgic, and distinctly mid-century in spirit.

Navy Dragon and Mount Fuji Side

The reverse transforms the jacket into a more traditional embroidered sukajan composition.

The body is rendered in deep navy satin with golden-yellow sleeves and muted plum shoulder accents. On the chest, a roaring tiger head faces an eagle surrounded by curling clouds.

The back presents a vivid golden dragon twisting around cloud formations above snow-capped Mount Fuji. Delicate cherry blossoms spread beneath the mountain, balancing the ferocity of the dragon with a quieter seasonal landscape.

The embroidery uses gold, red, ivory, pink, plum, and charcoal tones, creating a layered composition that remains expressive without losing the restrained vintage color architecture.

Motifs and Meaning

The jacket brings together several enduring subjects from Japanese visual culture and souvenir-jacket design.

Eagle

The eagle conveys strength, commanding vision, freedom, and decisive movement. Its repeated appearance on both sides creates a visual bridge between the jacket’s contrasting designs.

Dragon

The dragon is associated with power, transformation, protection, and mastery over natural forces. Its curling body gives the navy side a strong sense of movement.

Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji acts as the still center beneath the dragon, introducing permanence and national identity into the composition.

Japanese Pine

Pine remains green across the seasons and traditionally suggests resilience, endurance, and longevity.

Cherry Blossoms

The blossoms introduce beauty, renewal, and the fleeting quality of each season, softening the more forceful dragon, tiger, and eagle imagery.

Construction and Details

This jacket features:

• Fully reversible two-sided construction
• Burgundy quilted satin-like body
• Ivory sleeves with dusty-pink stripes
• Navy satin-like reverse
• Golden-yellow sleeves with plum accents
• Large pictorial eagle-and-pine back panel
• Multicolor dragon and Mount Fuji embroidery
• Embroidered tiger and eagle chest motifs
• Mirrored eagle decoration on the burgundy front
• Raglan sleeve construction
• Reversible metal zipper
• Hand-warmer pockets on both sides
• Striped rib-knit collar, cuffs, and waistband
• Classic rounded souvenir-bomber silhouette

The combination of quilted pictorial work and conventional embroidery gives the jacket greater visual variety than a standard single-technique sukajan.

Size and Measurements

Tagged size: 38
Estimated modern fit: Approximately unisex S to M

Approximate flat measurements taken from the photographed ruler:

• Back length: 66 cm / 26.0 in
• Chest width: 55 cm / 21.7 in
• Sleeve from center neckline to cuff: 81–82 cm / 31.9–32.3 in
• Underarm sleeve length: Approximately 54–55 cm / 21.3–21.7 in
• Waistband width: Approximately 45 cm / 17.7 in unstretched

The raglan shoulders, gathered waistband, and reversible construction affect how the jacket sits on the body. Comparing these measurements with a well-fitting jacket is recommended.

It may provide:

• A relaxed fit on a smaller S frame
• A classic fit on many S to M frames
• A cropped or fitted silhouette on a broader M frame

Period and Style Assessment

The construction, color combinations, quilting, illustration style, rib-knit pattern, and reversible souvenir-jacket format are consistent with WAREHOUSE’s vintage-inspired Japanese Americana approach.

Rather than feeling like a generic fashion bomber, the garment carefully recreates the layered graphics, compact proportions, and expressive satin surfaces associated with historic sukajan design.

Condition

Vintage pre-owned condition with natural signs of age and previous use.

The satin-like surfaces display wrinkling, softened sheen, light tonal variation, and gentle handling wear. The rib-knit trim shows age-related softening and minor wear consistent with a previously worn vintage garment.

The large pictorial back panel remains vibrant and visually complete. The embroidered dragon, Mount Fuji, tiger, eagle, cloud, and floral motifs retain strong definition and color.

Minor thread irregularities, small surface marks, faint rubbing, or signs of storage may be present. These characteristics form part of the garment’s authentic vintage appearance.

Please review every photograph carefully, as the images form an essential part of the condition description.

Why This Jacket Stands Out

This WAREHOUSE sukajan offers considerably more than a simple reversible color change.

Each face carries its own complete narrative:

• Eagle and pine artwork against quilted burgundy
• Dragon, Mount Fuji, clouds, and cherry blossoms on navy
• Tiger and eagle chest embroidery
• Mirrored descending eagles on the reverse front
• Two carefully coordinated vintage color palettes
• Premium Japanese Americana character
• Tagged size 38
• Strong appeal for WAREHOUSE and sukajan collectors

The unusually refined burgundy, ivory, and pink side is especially distinctive, while the navy-and-gold side delivers the powerful dragon imagery collectors traditionally seek.

Styling and Display

Wear the burgundy side with dark denim, tailored trousers, boots, or muted workwear for a softer vintage palette.

Reverse it to the navy side for a stronger rockabilly or Japanese streetwear look with selvedge denim, military trousers, leather shoes, or classic sneakers.

The jacket also displays beautifully on a padded hanger, with either the eagle-and-pine panel or the dragon-and-Fuji composition facing outward.
