Ryūjin Ember Embroidered Dragon Hoodie

A silver dragon curls through cloud and around a gold crescent, with peonies and cherry blossom worked in deep red across the lower back. In black or burgundy.

The embroidery comes first. The back panel is mounted flat on an embroidery frame before the hoodie is assembled — before the sleeves, before the hood, before a single seam is closed. The design is laid down in six passes: outline, fill, scale shading, metallic gold, highlight, edge. Only then is it cut and sewn into a garment. It's why the dragon sits flat instead of distorting across the seams, and why you can feel the scales with your thumb.

The warmest of the three. A brushed lining runs through the body and sleeves, so it wears like outerwear on its own in December rather than something you need a coat over.

Sixty pieces per colour. One production run, no restock.

The details

• Cotton-faced with a brushed winter lining
• Full-back embroidery in silver, gold and deep red
• Pullover, lined hood, ribbed cuffs and hem
• Black or burgundy

Fit
Cut oversized, in the Japanese street silhouette — dropped shoulder, wide body, room to layer. Most people take their usual size; size down one for a regular fit. Measured flat by hand, so allow 1–3cm. Between sizes? Email your height and usual size and we'll tell you which to take.

Care
Inside out, cold, gentle cycle. Hang or lay flat to dry. Don't iron directly onto the embroidery. Thread doesn't fade the way print does.
