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 pair of black tailed jackrabbits on the centre back, each wearing a miniature kawari kabuto (strange helmet), featuring stylised metal and lacquer rabbit ears. These helmets are based on true artefacts from Edo-period Japan. Behind the protagonists is a layered, grassy hillside which sweeps elegantly around the entire garment. The landscape is teeming with white rabbits and silver reeds, and a round, glowing moon in the sky. Throughout the design, details and measurements are noted in Japanese hand-script, echoing ancient zoological manuscripts from the 17th century. A stamp/seal bearing a silhouetted rabbit and the name Sabina Savage brands the front pocket.
