Today, from the brands carried at both FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka, Shinsaibashi) and FASCINATE KYOTO (Kyoto, Kawaramachi), we’re highlighting a selection of blousons from each label.
Following our previous knit feature, this edition focuses on blousons — items that are not only highly practical but also wearable across multiple seasons. From pieces with excellent durability to those offering superior warmth, the lineup spans a wide range of styles.
Take a look and consider adding a blouson to your wardrobe to complete your seasonal coordination.
KLASICA | Rounded, Architectural Silhouette. A Deck Jacket with Room for Layering
Volume sleeve tankers Blouson （Mix Brown） / 25F-TNK- A03
Inspired by vintage American deck jackets, this wide-arm, voluminous blouson from KLASICA reinterprets the concept with modern precision. The standout feature lies in its wool-blend fabric, which reimagines “Kenpi tweed” through the brand’s unique lens. By intentionally lowering the yarn count to evoke a rustic texture and finishing it with a garment wash, the surface develops a slightly rough touch and the distinct character of a well-worn antique piece.
The generous gathers along the back and the tucked sleeves create a softly rounded, relaxed silhouette that’s not only architecturally striking but also practical — providing ample room to layer thick innerwear without feeling bulky. The high ribbed collar accentuates its military heritage, while refined details such as nut buttons and a smooth Excella zipper reflect meticulous craftsmanship.
With excellent warmth and wind resistance, this piece serves as a reliable outer layer from early autumn through spring — a true seasonal mainstay.
DEVOA | Matte Wool Gabardine & Rounded Construction. A Refined High-Neck Down Jacket
Down Jacket Salt Shrink Wool （BLACK） / DKJ-MSRH
The outer shell uses salt-shrink processed wool gabardine, giving it a fine, matte texture that transforms what could feel sporty into a refined, mature piece. For areas that come in direct contact with the skin — such as the collar and cuffs — DEVOA uses an original rib material blended with Nepalese cashmere, offering exceptional softness and warmth.
The silhouette features a rounded, regular fit with a compact body length for a clean, modern look. Practicality is thoughtfully considered as well: magnetic pocket flaps, a YKK Excella double-zip, and carefully constructed finishing details make this jacket a fully engineered garment.
ISŌ | Originality Born from Six Fabrics. A Patchwork MA-1 Where Military Meets Mode
Patchwork Cotton Bomber Jacket （Black） / ISO-017-JAK
Based on one of the earliest MA-1 models manufactured in the 1950s, this bomber jacket reinterprets the iconic silhouette through ISŌ’s bold and distinctive lens. Its greatest appeal lies in the original patchwork fabric, constructed by randomly joining six different materials — including ripstop, serge, and canvas — each with its own structure and character. This intricate mix results in a uniquely expressive texture, blending military ruggedness with a refined mode sensibility at an exceptionally high level.
In terms of detailing, ISŌ faithfully recreates highly technical, archival MA-1 elements such as the oxygen mask hose tab and the communication-cord retaining tab under the arm. Even the unseen areas are meticulously crafted — the lining features fabric printed with a map motif, adding depth and narrative to the garment. The silhouette is a loose, drop-shoulder design. In practice, the short body length is balanced by a generously wide torso, providing ample room for layering heavy knits or sweatshirts without restriction. Light insulation inside the jacket offers warmth far beyond its appearance, making it a highly functional piece suitable from early autumn through spring.
CROMAGNON | Banshū Wool Infused with Silicone. A Structured, Wind-Resistant MA-1
MA-1 Jacket Wool Gabardine （BLACK） / CJ-LSRGB
An MA-1 bomber crafted by CROMAGNON, defined by a completely stripped-down, minimal aesthetic free of unnecessary decoration. At first glance it appears simple, but the fabric tells a different story — the jacket uses wool gabardine produced in Japan’s renowned Banshū textile region, which is then treated with a silicone infusion process. This gives the surface a dry, smooth touch while simultaneously achieving a firm, structured “crispness” and a subtle, refined sheen. The silicone treatment tightens the weave, resulting in a material that is lightweight yet highly insulating and impressively wind-resistant.
The silhouette is a loose fit with a short length, balanced by a slightly generous body width that creates CROMAGNON’s signature rounded volume when worn. Inside, the jacket is insulated with Thinsulate EX-Soft, providing ample warmth even in midwinter. Details such as the white-silver YKK EXCELLA front zipper and magnet-secured pockets elevate the jacket with a clean, contemporary sophistication. This is an ideal piece for those who appreciate normcore styling, or anyone seeking a garment that appears understated yet embodies deep material and construction refinement. A timeless jacket designed to be worn and loved for many years without being influenced by trends.
Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO | A Playful Layered Concept. Flight Jacket with Integrated Quilted Hood
Hooded Bomber Jacket （Black） / A15BL062
A padded MA-1 flight jacket that fully embodies Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO’s signature approach to “reconstruction.” The piece features a quilted inner blouson seamlessly docked into the body, creating a complex, playful layered design that feels as though multiple outerwear pieces have been stacked together. When worn, the jacket produces a silhouette so structured and voluminous that the word “oversized” hardly does it justice — it evokes the presence of a spacesuit, allowing you to experience the brand’s uniquely imaginative world with your entire body.
Crafted from durable nylon, the jacket offers weather resistance suitable for sudden changes in conditions, while delivering strong insulation and cold protection for the winter season. The quilted lining and integrated hood provide a plush warmth that contrasts beautifully with the garment’s bold, heavy appearance. Despite the voluminous body, the MA-1–style ribbing at the cuffs and hem fits snugly, blocking out cold air and adding a sharp contrast to the silhouette. The overall sizing is extremely spacious, allowing you to layer thick knits or sweatshirts underneath with ease. As a winter outerwear piece, it commands undeniable presence and serves as the central statement item for any seasonal styling.
Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO | Eagle Embroidery & Faded Satin. A Modern Hybrid Souvenir Jacket with Integrated Hoodie
Reversible Souvenir Jacket （Black） / J15BL143
A modern, uniquely updated interpretation of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO’s classic souvenir jacket. The first thing that draws attention is the expertly executed faded finish on the cotton–rayon satin fabric. When touched, it retains the smooth and silky feel characteristic of satin, yet visually it has the authentic, time-worn appeal of true vintage — a testament to the brand’s advanced processing techniques.
Design-wise, the piece features a docked sweatshirt hoodie that creates a layered look with a single garment, adding a playful and instantly complete styling effect. Powerful eagle embroidery on the chest and back injects the rebellious spirit of classic souvenir jackets, while blending seamlessly with MIHARA’s signature experimental aesthetic. The jacket is also fully reversible, offering two completely different expressions depending on your mood or the occasion — a major point of appeal.
The fit is slightly oversized, yet carefully balanced to avoid excess bulk. It works perfectly as a standalone outer piece in early autumn, and in winter it can be layered under a coat without compromising comfort. Versatile, expressive, and season-spanning, this upgraded souvenir jacket serves as a striking accent in any wardrobe.
MASU | A Fusion of Past and Future. A “20XX” Symbol in Needle-Punched Form
ANGEL BOMBER JACKET （Gray） / M25F9BL003
This bomber jacket stands as one of the most emblematic pieces of MASU’s seasonal theme, “20XX.” While the striking angel graphic immediately draws the eye, the true highlight lies in the construction of its fabric. Two materials—polyester from the “Popcorn Tops” introduced in the 2021FW collection, and melton wool used in the 2024FW stadium jacket—each carrying memories of different seasons, are physically bonded through needle-punching.The result is a slightly rough, tactile surface with depth and richness that cannot be replicated by print or weaving alone. The concept of “crossing seasons and becoming one” is embodied in the garment itself.
The silhouette features MASU’s signature ultra-cropped body paired with extended sleeves, creating a bold and modern proportion. Tucks placed along the hem of both the body and sleeves form a voluminous, rounded silhouette that delivers instant uniqueness simply by wearing it. The lining is quilted with thin padding, providing warmth and ensuring that, despite its avant-garde look, the piece functions reliably as a winter outerwear option.
doublet | Peeling Flocky Texture. A Denim Souvenir Jacket that Embodies “Everyday Wear with Strangeness”
Flocked Denim Souvenir Jacket （Balck） / 25AW20BL237
This souvenir jacket is perhaps the most vivid embodiment of doublet’s concept: “Everyday wear with a sense of discomfort.”Rooted in the embroidered jackets brought home by soldiers after the war, the piece is reconstructed through doublet’s unique lens that blends insanity, humor, and a playful eeriness. The most distinctive feature is the flocky print applied over the denim surface. Contrary to what one expects from denim, the texture feels surprisingly smooth and soft to the touch, with none of the typical rigidness. The subtle sheen created by the flocky surface, combined with the unsettling embroidery motifs, gives the jacket a mysterious and seductive presence unlike anything from other brands.
Another key detail: the flocky layer is designed to gradually peel off with wear, revealing the “true face” of the denim hidden underneath. The jacket evolves over time, allowing you to enjoy the aging process itself as part of the design. The silhouette features deep armholes and a generous width that create a rounded, voluminous, loose fit. Meanwhile, the slightly cropped length keeps the overall balance clean and easy to style, while also providing ample room to layer thick knitwear inside.
JULIUS | Refined Sheen and Elegant Drape. A Mode-Driven MA-1 in Cupro Taffeta
CUPRO TAFFETA BLOUSON （BLACK） / 907BLM1
A loose-silhouette MA-1 blouson from JULIUS, crafted from cupro taffeta fabric. While based on the classic military MA-1, the use of cupro—a luxurious material also used for suit linings—completely transforms the piece into something new. The actual texture feels smooth, dry, and incredibly lightweight. The most striking characteristic of this fabric choice is the beautiful drape created when worn. Unlike typical MA-1 jackets that feature structured volume, this piece falls fluidly along the body, producing a distinctively mode-like atmosphere that reflects JULIUS’s unique worldview.
The silhouette is loose-fitting, but not merely oversized. With a longer body and sleeve length paired with a width that avoids excessive bulk, it achieves a perfectly balanced form—relaxed yet sharply styled. Seasonal prints placed on the left chest and back add subtle accents to the otherwise minimalist design. Despite its dramatic appearance, the wearing experience is astonishingly light and stress-free. Thanks to its thinness and excellent glide, it works not only as a light outer layer in early autumn but also as a layering piece under coats in winter. A highly versatile item that adapts seamlessly across seasons.
RIPVANWINKLE | Airy, Thick Texture Created by “Strong Fulling.” A Mixed-Material Combination MA-1
Combination Solid MA-1 （Black） / RB-737
This signature item from RIPVANWINKLE embodies the brand’s concept of “the fusion of classic and contemporary,” achieved through its material construction and design. At first glance it appears to be a familiar MA-1, but the piece features a combination design with completely different expressions on the front and back. The front uses a practical and sporty carefree jersey fabric, ensuring modern functionality. However, the true highlight lies in the back panel. By twisting wool TOP yarn with polyester linen, weaving it loosely on purpose, and then applying a strong fulling (強縮絨) process, the material transforms into a “Japan Tweed Jersey” with a densely packed yet airy structure—thick, voluminous, and full of air.
Despite its tweed-like appearance, the actual texture is surprisingly soft and fluffy, offering a lightweight and stress-free wearing experience. Side zippers allow you to adjust the silhouette based on the thickness of your inner layers or create a subtle A-line shape, adding versatility to the styling. The contrast between the mixed materials highlights the sophisticated design, while the jersey elements bring excellent functionality—resulting in a piece that truly condenses the brand’s aesthetic philosophy into one garment.
