Japanese brand A Bathing Ape takes notes from traditional souvenir, or sukajan, jackets for this piece. Sukajan jackets originated in Japan after the Second World War, when occupying US troops commissioned decorative jackets as a souvenir for their time overseas. These pieces blended Japanese and American iconography in ornate hand stitched designs - BAPE’s features the brand’s iconic ape head motif on the chest.
