Old Joe Faded Velvet Souvenir Jacket

Old Joe

$1,050.00

A souvenir jacket that embodies the elegance of traditional Japanese techniques, featuring embroidery that vividly captures beautiful, old-world Japanese landscapes in a realistic manner. This piece stands apart with a level of craftsmanship that surpasses the quality of vintage Sukajan embroidery, meticulously designed with elements such as thread thickness, color variety, gradient, and shading to the fullest extent, resulting in an elegant and refined appearance.

The jacket is made using a unique sulfide dyeing process with original colors, allowing the material to age beautifully over time, developing a rich patina. The jacket is reversible, offering two distinct looks: a velvet side and a rayon quilting side, each showcasing different expressions of traditional Japanese aesthetics — the duality of "Wabi-Sabi" (rustic simplicity) and "Miyabi" (elegance).

The velvet fabric is woven with weft threads to create a pile, which is then cut to form a surface covered in short, soft fibers. Due to its twill weave, the fabric is densely woven, resulting in a soft texture, rich luster, and vibrant color, making it a high-quality textile. The rayon quilting side uses sustainable TENCEL™ Modal fibers, offering a mid-weight material with a supple feel. It has a powdery soft touch and a matte yet subtly glossy surface, providing a gentle, natural sheen and a smooth, luxurious feel against the skin.
