Founded in 1965 in Tokyo, Tailor Toyo is a division of Toyo Enterprise, a company with roots in Kosho & Co., the original postwar fabric trading company that pioneered the souvenir jacket. Tailor Toyo is widely considered the most legitimate and authoritative producer of traditional Sukajan. The brand's identity is deeply anchored in the preservation of postwar Americana and Japanese craftsmanship, recreating garments originally custom-made for U.S. military personnel stationed in occupied Japan. Tailor Toyo is celebrated for its archival accuracy, utilizing vintage-loomed fabrics, reversible acetate or silk constructions, and intricate, hand-guided silk thread embroidery. The core product line revolves around these flashy, elaborately decorated jackets featuring iconic motifs like eagles, tigers, dragons, and maps, which embody a true East-meets-West cultural legacy.
