sukajan
A jacket in the style of a bomber jacket or letterman jacket with embroidery on the back and chest, often of fancy eastern-themed designs such as eastern dragons, tigers, cherry blossoms, etc.
The sukajan has its origins in post-World War II, where occupying American soldiers in Japan would commemorate their time overseas by ordering custom-made jackets with these oriental designs. For this reason, these jackets are also known as souvenir jackets.
Often seen worn by delinquents, the yakuza, or band members.
