TAILOR TOYO Mid 1950s Style Acetate Souvenir Jacket “SNAKE & SKULL” × “DRAGON HEAD” (AGING MODEL)

This exceptional mid-1950s Tailor Toyo souvenir jacket showcases two meticulously embroidered designs rarely found in vintage condition. The front features an elusive skull pattern rendered in pale, muted threads against a faded navy acetate base—a sophisticated restraint that distinguishes this piece from more vibrant interpretations of the era. The reversible side reveals an intricately detailed dragon head in pale green with vermilion flame accents, employing embroidery techniques and colorways authentic to post-war Japanese craftsmanship. The complementary interplay between the green dragon and navy body creates visual harmony characteristic of premium souvenir jackets from this period. An aging model that captures the patina and authenticity collectors seek.
