Souvenir Jackets

Something that I've found myself pinning a lot on my Pinterest recently (find me here) are souvenir jackets. Initially commissioned by American soldiers circa WWII to commemorate their time abroad in Japan, these silky bomber jackets with intricate embroidery are now popular with celebs such as Harry Styles and Olivia Palermo. Unfortunately these jackets ,a.k.a Sukajan jackets, come with quite a hefty price tag even on eBay, where there are some beautiful vintage ones for sale, so I think that I will just have to stick to marvelling over them on Pinterest.
