🧵 About This Item’s Rarity & Value

Many of the sukajan jackets offered by BIREI JAPAN are vintage, one-of-a-kind pieces that are no longer available, even in Japan. These items are often out of production and extremely difficult to find — making them truly rare opportunities for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike.

In fact, some vintage jackets may hold more value than new ones, due to their cultural significance, design quality, and scarcity. A number of our items are even sought after by collectors worldwide.

We carefully hand-pick each piece based on its design, uniqueness, and overall condition. This level of curation means that our pricing reflects not just a product, but a piece of history.

Please note that as these are authentic vintage items, minor imperfections such as small stains or signs of wear may be present. These features are considered part of the character and value of vintage fashion.

A Sukajan is Ichigo Ichie!

The phrase "一期一会" (ichigo ichie) is a Japanese expression that is often translated as "once-in-a-lifetime encounter" or "one chance in a lifetime."
