Description
The drama of this jacket is revealed when the wearer turns. The front remains dark and understated, allowing the large tiger on the back to dominate the garment. Fine Su embroidery shifts direction through the animal’s fur, body and surrounding plant forms, while gold and silver couching adds a controlled metallic edge to selected outlines and clouds. In Chinese visual culture, the tiger has long been associated with bravery, authority and protective force. Here that symbolism is carried through a modern, highly wearable silhouette rather than a ceremonial costume.
Craft: Su embroidery with gold and silver couching.
Materials: Vintage silk satin with tonal jacquard texture; silk and acetate-jacquard components in the lining structure.
Fit / Size: One size. Recommended reference range: approx. 45–70 kg / 99–154 lb (90–140 jin). Fit varies by height, shoulder width and body shape.

Care: Specialist professional cleaning is recommended. Do not machine wash, soak, wring or bleach. Store in a dry place away from prolonged sunlight.
