Koinobori Karasu Reversible Bomber Jacket

The Reversible Quilted Bomber Jacket is designed, printed and made in England. This double-sided garment is constructed from quilted silk twill on one side, and unquilted silk twill on the other, with each side displaying a contrasting colourway. The jacket hemline falls at hip-height, and the ribbon drawstrings can be adjusted using the metal cord-stoppers to offer a variety of styles. With the drawstrings tight, the jacket is cropped and compact, but once the ties are loosened, the jacket offers a more trapeze-like fit. The bomber jacket fastens using magnetic, subtly branded snaps concealed beneath the centre front placket. Patch pockets have been applied to the quilted side of the jacket; the placement print meaning that the design continues entirely uninterrupted.

This design references many elements of the arts and culture of Edo-period Japan.  It features a folkloric Karasu (jungle crow) diving into the tempestuous Hokusai-inspired waves towards the lower left corner of the back panel. The bird clutches a golden-lacquered samurai sword and has become entangled in strings of koinobori (hand-painted, fish-shaped flags), skeletons and a lobster which trail chaotically in its wake. The tip of Mount Fuji can just be glimpsed behind the heaving tide. Throughout the design, details and measurements are noted in Japanese hand-script, echoing ancient zoological manuscripts from the 17^th century. Hanko stamps bearing the names Sabina Savage and Koinobori Karasu brand the back of the design.
