Description

The Tokyo jacket features three-quarter length magyar sleeves, which means that the sleeves are loose and have a slightly tapered shape, ending just below the elbow. This style of sleeve is perfect for warmer weather or for layering over long-sleeve tops.

To add a touch of sophistication, the neckline, cuffs, and pockets of the jacket are trimmed with a band. This simple detail gives the jacket a polished look and helps to define its shape. The band can be made from a contrasting fabric or can match the main fabric of the jacket for a more subtle effect.

Recommended fabric

Drapey fabrics such as viscose, polyester crepe, wool crepe, linen and medium weight silk. Not suitable for jersey fabrics.
