Vintage Script Japan souvenir jacket, J.Crew tee, Levis denim, Frecap Shoes
Here is another souvenir jacket in my collection. I acquired it in a small thrift store in Seoul. It was in pretty awful shape, but it reminded me of an antique that just needed a little refurbishing. The colors shine bright after dry cleaning and the details in the embroidery stand out. A few stains remain to remind me of its age. Red, gold, and green combined is lovely. This jacket reminds me of the holidays without looking costume - I think of home whenever I look at it.
Script Flower Trip Orchestra is a brand from Japan that creates beautiful souvenir jackets. The colors they use are unique and their quality is unmatched. Looking through their current offerings online, I am intensely overwhelmed by how many styles I want to get. There is an attention to detail that makes each jacket worth every
This particular jacket may be a brand special. The bird (I am not sure if it is a crane or phoenix) is actually the brand's logo - not to mention the brand name "SCRIPT" emblazoned on the back. The other side features a beautiful dragon that wraps around the shoulders and onto the chest. I like the symbolism of a phoenix and dragon in one piece - masculine and feminine.
