Y's – SUKAJAN – CHAMINA
PROJECT Y’s SUKAJAN – CHANMINA
"Y's" "Sukajan" "Chanmina"
the only style
The second sukajan collection by Y's and Tailor Toyo. At the same time, "Y's PORTRAIT – CHANMINA" was announced.
"Y's", "Sukajan", "Chanmina". Each established existence gives off an identity.
The sukajan collection by Y's and Tailor Toyo is a complete reproduction of the vintage sukajan of the time, down to the smallest detail, with a focus on "Made in Japan" in all processes of sukajan, which is currently mixed with overseas production. On top of that, we create high-quality silhouettes in pursuit of further commitment. The real charm of "Y's SUKAJAN" is the authentic specifications of the time, which are more delicate than modern ones.
White gradation, embroidery consisting of 3 types of off-white, and fresh coloring. Skull pattern with impact.
Like the first edition, the skull and the dragon motif embroidered on the black side are composed of patterns selected by Wise from the vintage collection of Tailor Toyo.
A collaboration piece created as a special edition "Minatosho Label" that reproduces carefully selected gems from the Tailor Toyo collection with great attention to detail. The label of "KOSHO & CO. Minato Shokai", the predecessor of Tailor Toyo, is attached.
The design is precisely drawn with side-swinging embroidery, and the acetate fabric is adjusted to create a vintage-like finish. Wool ribs are also knitted one by one using an old-fashioned flat knitting machine. For the fasteners, we reactivated the fastening machine from over 50 years ago and reproduced the same hand-bent fasteners. The authentic specifications of the time, which are more delicate than modern ones, have been reproduced with strong commitment.
Y's PORTRAIT – CHAMMINA
──Delicate and soft white embroidery that seems to contradict the strong pattern──
Rapper/singer CHANMINA wears "Y's SUKAJAN".
Weave words. Transform subtle emotions into unique, bold, and intentional expressions.
The devised creation envelops our bodies and leads us to a strong and unique existence. Conviction, free thinking, and warm humanity.
"Y's", "Sukajan", "Chanmina" -- from "Japan" to everywhere. To various people.
A record of cities, clothes, and people expressed by Y's.
The photo work of “Y’s PORTRAIT – CHAMMINA” will be installed at Y’s Omotesando from Friday, August 25th to Monday, September 11th.
TAILOR TOYO
"Tailor Toyo" is a sukajan brand of Toyo Enterprise. KOSHO & CO., the predecessor of Toyo Enterprise, was founded in the 1940s after the war, importing and exporting fabrics.
After the war, in the street stalls around Ginza, seeing American soldiers looking for traditional Japanese items such as kimonos and obis as souvenirs, an employee of a port merchant came up with the idea of a jumper as a souvenir (souvenir) with oriental embroidery. . It was the moment when the clothes originating in Japan, which is now called “Sukajan”, was born.
The form imitates a baseball jacket familiar to Americans, and the embroidery is entrusted to craftsmen in Kiryu and Ashikaga. At that time, it was difficult to obtain silk thread due to post-war material restrictions, so the fabric used was acetate, which is similar to silk.
When port merchants sold them at street stalls, they quickly became popular, and eventually the jackets caught the eye of PX (a store in the US military base), who was in charge of purchasing them, and they were delivered to bases all over Japan. It extends to US military bases overseas.
When I looked at the delivery slip at the time, it was described as a product called SOUVENIR JACKET.
In the 1950s, when the production of souvenir jackets was at its peak, it accounted for 95% of the delivery share. Tailor Toyo has been making souvenir jackets for more than half a century since it started as a port merchant. It is the original of Sukajan and inherits Sukajan as a culture.
The "Y's SUKAJAN" collection will be available from Friday, September 1st at all stores in Japan and official online boutiques.
