We loved everything about this jacket from the moment we saw it. An indigo-dyed quilted bomber-style jacket with iconic embroidery - what's not to love? The one thing we weren't sure about was the huge back pop embroidery. Everything else on the jacket seemed subdued and elegant but just vibrant enough to catch people's attention. The back pop felt like it made the jacket less universal, so we asked the factory to remove it...and they obliged our crazy request. So, we have the only version of this in the world that is more refined and, in our humble opinion, much easier to wear. This is a piece that anyone sees and instantly thinks "Oh sh*t, that's a cool jacket." It has that wow factor whether from the baseball-capped tiger and Tsutenkaku Tower dragon motifs or the bright hits of indigo in an otherwise super dark jacket (from the one-rinse process). The quilting adds an extra element of character to this jacket that will see it fade in high and low hourglass shapes. This is truly a jacket for the ages to celebrate Samurai's 25th Anniversary.

Fit Notes: In general, Samurai tops fit a bit small. This North American cut fits a bit roomier but is still small compared to US brands. Tommy went with a XL in this garment which seemed to be spot on. He really loved the fit. We recommend you do the same as him and size up at least once, but maybe twice. He is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 40" chest. His North American size is M and his Japanese size is L.
