* Sukajan (スカジャン): A combination of American
letterman jackets with elements of Japanese culture.



The Charm of the Popular Item Shibuya Sukajan

sports venue and fashion is the game then VANQUISH is
the team with home court advantage. The signature Shibuya
Sukajan jacket effectively showcases Shibuya's charm
and has risen to the number one position on the
 popularity charts.

A Grand Tokyo Souvenir Jacket

Thinking about the history behind the Sukajan,
It was an interesting time in Japan, an island
that doesn't share any borders with a neighboring
nation, in which it saw a great deal of international
 exchange.  Immediately following World War II, US forces
had been stationed in Yokosuka Japan, but when it
came time to go back home, they had no idea what to
bring back as a souvenir from their stay. Soldiers instead
decided to  decorate their own aviation jackets and such with
 the traditional embroidery of Japan. As more and more of them
saw the appeal of such designs, thus we can trace back the
secret birth story of the Sukajan.

The name Sukajan comes from the Japanese people's
understanding of the English words "souvenir jacket",
which was heard, changed a bit to fit and language and
abbreviated as Sukajan. At the time, the silk required
to be used for the designs was made from the
pilots parachutes which were 100% silk.
Interesting isn't it!? ^^

* Yokosuka: City in Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshu Japan .
After the Second World War, it has maintained and
used for a Navy and defense installation of the Self-Defense
 Force in Japan (defense). Now it's known as a military town.



Shibuya Sukajan ~Second Version~

Sukajan at VANQUISH has come back with a slightly
new appearance. With the boom in the Autumn and
Winter, it seems only fitting that they would also
release something to tide us over in the spring.
Look carefully at the tag near the neck to see Tokyo
SOUVENIR JACKET written on the new style.
What new charms can we find on this second
iteration of VANQUISHs most popular jacket?

1.  Luxurious embroidery on the front chest with
 an image of Shibuya, and embroidered back
featuring an image of the neighborhood and famous
 places/ tourist spots around Shibuya in a bold design.

2. Transform in an instant with reversible jackets that'll
give you a completely new style in a matter of seconds
with the MA-1 type that has caused a re-boom! Also,
 the difference between the contrast of the lining and
the outer material of the jacket can be coordinated with
a variety of different outfits.

3. There is also a variety of colors to choose from!



Reborn with a Modern Twist

Some of Japan's young people still wear Sukajan,
however, traditionally some of Japan's brands have
given up on selling them in a fleeting market.
The jackets themselves ride high on the fact
that it can be considered a vintage item, and one
in high demand at that. Usually manufacturers make
no more than about 200 jackets at a time.

Vintage items such as this, in such high demand
are sure to not only draw a lot of attention, but
sell out fast, so grab yours before they're all gone.

A New Level of Cuteness with gonoturn

gonoturn is a miscellaneous goods brand with the
 "Cute is Justice !!" concept. They have released and
currently offer masks featuring the cuteness of
Japan in the form of famous cartoon characters.
At first it's a little embarrassing but we can imagine
some people walking down the street with it on! ^^

Show your personality, immediately!

This may be the most important fashion
item of the century right here. (lol)

Beautiful street fashion

Sukajan still has an image of gangster wear in Japan
a form of street fashion that gives you a more edgy
style and appearance. To some that may be a good
thing, but we believe it's up to how you see yourself
that really matters. It's all very beautiful in its own
right so no need to worry, and they are popular so
it's understandable that you would want it.

Our advice is to try out the jacket with some denim
to help accentuate the embroidery on the back.

VANQUISH jeans: the world's highest quality
Japanese Okayama denim

Jeans and denim products at VANQUISH
were used in the world's highest quality Okayama
Japanese denim. It's one thing to read about it
beforehand, but when you actually see it up-close
 and hold it in your hands, we'll just say that we were
impressed with the quality.



Feel the Epidemic

For the spring, the expectations of the new
 fashion trends are already on display. Custom tribal
patterns and oversized bags, show a very
self-conscious male with sensible shoe taste.
- Will you will be able to further expose the stylish sensibility?
It's great how in this cutting edge city of fashion
you can still admire the changing styles freely. ^^



Introducing the brand "#FR2"

VANQUISH is just one of the latest shops to
add the popular "FR2" brand to its collection.
Based on the interesting concept of the clothes

of the style.
Well, we've seen so many brands associated with
 VANQUISH. From here on out we will look at
specific outfits they recommend!



Recommended VANQUISH Outfit ①
The more formal Vanquish outfits make their arrival.
As directed we tried out the formal jacket and pants
with a casual jean button up shirt appeal and we
must say, it looks good. 




Matching Styles

Though they are both rocking the same
style you can see how much the appeal
changes from person to person.

Completion of the look ...? !

With the exception of the summer, spring, fall, winter can't
quite retain its heat and things get pretty chilly here in
Tokyo.  However this is a recommendation for the more
fashionable customers. Now is a good time to take
advantage of the outerwear jackets that still remain.
Jackets, coats, and even down jackets, while things
are still a bit chilly take advantage of this winter/Autumn
fashion.



Introduction of leather

Want a great casual look? Try on the leather
jackets. The store is packed with helpful and
stylish sales associates to help you find the right
style for you.
As per recommendation we're trying the black
turtleneck with the leather jacket!
All that's missing are the sneakers which with a
simple yet sophisticated choice you can complete
the look ~!



Flashy brand development

VANQUISH ...
Introduced earlier Dorin LEGENDA / FR2 / gonoturn
 / DENIM BY VANQUISH & FRAGMENT etc ...
A truly great brand offers a variety of charm and
variety while still maintaining its own style!




I Came, I Saw, I Conquered.

A trip to Japan wouldn't be complete without
a trip to Shibuya because it alone encompasses
so many elements of Japanese society. Particularly
the fashion and shopping culture that has captured the
hearts and minds of all young and old alike. Especially
stores like Shibuya 109 and Marui, Parco, etc.. any
person interested in fashion will be sucked into the mighty
pull of Shibuya like gravity.

However, Shibuya isn't all about fashion as one might
think. There's also shops dealing with old traditional crafts,
and miscellaneous goods such as products Made in Japan.
For example, check out Shibuya Hikarie, MaruAra Watanabe,
and loft.

You shouldn't have any trouble searching for souvenirs
and if you need nerd goods, Mandarake is the place to go.,
And of course if you need men's clothing, the male fashion
 brand VANQUISH will be there to take care of you.
Plan your visit today and tell them JAPANKURU sent you!!^^

Currently, as of 2018,
"Shibuya 109 Men's" has changed its name to
MAGNET by SHIBUYA109
