BANDAI has announced the release of a new souvenir jacket (also commonly referred to as sukajan) based on one of the most iconic Gundam units from the hugely popular Gundam Wing series.

The new sukajan will incorporate elements of traditional Japanese design with the Wing Gundam Zero Custom, now more commonly referred to as Wing Gundam Zero EW, from the OVA/theatrical film Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, this jacket features the Wing Gundam Zero (EW) design from Endless Waltz.

Made from lustrous satin, it also boasts intricate embroidered illustrations and is reversible.

The main side is blue and white, with feathered wings on the front and the Wing Gundam Zero (EW) holding its Twin Buster Rifle on the back.

The reversible side is blue and champagne gold, with the Preventer mark on the front and a Preventer A.C. 19 logo embroidered on the back, making it a prominent item.

If you’re a fan of some of the older series in the Gundam franchise, you’ll be pleased to hear that two jackets will also be released based on the original anime series.

New designs based on Mobile Suit Gundam will be available, each integrating a famous mobile suit from the series with the Japanese style design that is synonymous with souvenir jackets:
