What to know about Tailor Toyo

The original PX supplier's descendant

Its predecessor Kosho & Co. made embroidered souvenir jackets for US military PX stores in postwar Japan, so the archive being reissued is the brand's own.

Reissues, not reinterpretations

Jackets are rebuilt from archival patterns in silk, rayon and acetate with dense chain-stitch eagles, tigers and dragons, plus Vietnam-era styles, sweats and tees.

Embroidery labour sets the price

Made in Japan and sold through specialists like Clutch Cafe and HINOYA, jackets run from several hundred to over a thousand dollars, driven by hand-guided stitching.
