Kichizo Yoshida established Yoshida & Co in 1935 in Japan and then created their own “private brand” Porter in 1962. Their iconic Tanker series was released in 1982 and many more iconic styles and series have followed in the intervening years. Kichizo Yoshida’s motto of “one stitch all soul” is still today the companies motto. Their belief in the craftsmen of Japan as number one in the world is unwavering. Their passion, attitude, skill and faith in their work is what “Heart and soul in every stitch” is all about. Always made in Japan.
Iron Blue Tanker Short Helmet bag (L)
The “TANKER” series, introduced in 1983, uses an original fabric developed with the U.S. Air Force’s “MA–1” flight jacket as its motif. It has a three–layer structure: nylon twill on the front, polyester cotton in the middle, and nylon taffeta on the back. This three–layer fabric is very light and has a soft bonding texture, and the vivid rescue orange color on the back is very attractive.?The uncompromising commitment of Yoshida & Co. craftsmen is expressed in every step of the process, from cutting to sewing and parts.
Additionally, aluminum zippers, which were rare at the time of the product’s release, are used, and the paint on metal fittings such as snap buttons and eggplant rings is purposely designed to peel off so that they will show signs of aging as they are used.
