Today, we’re introducing an artisan-inspired autumn/winter styling featuring a wool jacket and knitwear from UMA WANG, available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka, Shinsaibashi). Through this article, we hope you’ll feel the philosophy of the brand and the unique worldview embodied in each piece.
Traditional Elegance Refined – UMA WANG Loose Jacket
The first piece we present is a jacket from UMA WANG, distinguished by its design reminiscent of the traditional Japanese hanten.
Its most striking feature lies in the front closure — instead of conventional buttons, it fastens with ties, incorporating a distinctly Japanese element that enhances the individuality of the wearer.
Crafted in a refined black tone that highlights the quality of the fabric, it balances a casual structure with a sophisticated, elegant look.
Functional side pockets and a fully lined interior ensure both comfort and practicality.
This jacket embodies UMA WANG deep respect for traditional Japanese aesthetics while elevating them through a contemporary lens — a testament to the brand’s exceptional design sensibility.
The silhouette features a relaxed, cropped fit crafted with a clean, minimalist pattern that conveys an effortless and laid-back mood.
What stands out most is the generous armhole and wide body, allowing it to be layered comfortably over thicker innerwear — maximizing its appeal as an outer garment.
Another key element is the versatility offered by the front tie closure.
When tightly fastened, it creates a natural front drape, evoking the refined structure of a traditional kimono overlap.
When loosely tied or worn open, it highlights the relaxed volume of the body for a modern, fluid look.
Depending on your mood or layering choice, the jacket’s silhouette can be styled in multiple expressive ways.
The jacket is crafted from a premium wool fabric meticulously selected by UMA WANG.
Its texture is particularly noteworthy — combining a dry, crisp hand feel with a soft, airy fullness that creates a sense of depth and contrast.
This unique material quality gives the minimalist silhouette a quiet yet undeniable presence, adding dimension that transcends the simplicity of a black jacket.
Every detail — even the choice of fabric — reflects UMA WANG philosophy and refined aesthetic, making this piece a true embodiment of the brand’s craftsmanship and vision.
Layered beneath the outerwear is a distinctive knit hoodie — a rare, casual piece within UMA WANG typically refined lineup, yet one that fully embodies the brand’s artistic sensibility.
The standout features of this hoodie lie in its texture and treatment.
A deep, dark-toned base is enhanced with irregular dyeing, creating subtle contrasts and intricate gradations of color that add depth and visual richness.
Additionally, intentional distressing throughout introduces a touch of grunge and a relaxed mood, giving the piece a strong, individual character.
The interplay between the uneven dyeing and the brushed texture produces a uniquely expressive surface — a distinctive presence that sets it apart from conventional knitwear.
The silhouette strikes a perfect balance between modern relaxation and refined versatility.
Cut in a relaxed fit, it offers exceptional comfort while maintaining an elegant, effortless appearance.
The moderate looseness adds a touch of sophistication to the hoodie’s inherently casual nature.
Its thoughtfully calibrated length makes it highly adaptable — ideal for wearing on its own or, as styled here, layered under a cropped jacket with just the right amount peeking out for visual balance.
The hood is designed with precise proportions — neither oversized nor too small — ensuring it sits neatly when layered under outerwear without adding bulk.
Thanks to this meticulous design balance, the piece transitions seamlessly between standalone wear and layered styling, embodying both functionality and understated sophistication.
In contrast to its rugged appearance, this knit hoodie is crafted from a fine-gauge, high-quality material that combines a luxuriously soft touch with excellent warmth retention.
The back features UMA WANG signature red embroidery — a subtle yet striking detail that adds depth and a refined accent to the dark-toned styling.
A Contemporary A-Line Silhouette Crafted Through a Wide Fit
For the bottoms, we selected extra-wide trousers that embody UMA WANG exceptional pattern-making expertise.
The true allure of this piece lies in its architectural complexity — achieved through bold use of fabric combined with meticulously calculated cutting techniques.
When worn, the fabric drapes gracefully downward, creating a clean, vertical flow that gathers elegantly around the ankles, producing a sophisticated sense of weight and movement.
These trousers balance the Japanese-inspired elements of the jacket and the rugged texture of the knit hoodie, adding a sense of modern intensity and depth to the overall styling — a statement piece that commands presence.
The deep front pleats seamlessly flow into the seams, while the precisely placed side darts create a distinctive fullness through the thighs and calves.
This intricate construction results in a sculptural volume that moves gracefully with each step — not merely wide, but fluid and expressive in true UMA WANG fashion.
The silhouette is subtly tapered toward the hem, allowing the fabric to pool naturally around the ankles and form a grounded, weighty impression that enhances the look’s modern sophistication.
This carefully engineered structure serves as the foundation for a contemporary A-line silhouette, perfectly complementing the artisanal atmosphere of the styling.
It adds a sense of dimensional depth and presence, balancing elegance and avant-garde sensibility in one refined composition.
The pockets are thoughtfully integrated into the design — minimal seam pockets aligned with the side darts, and buttoned back pockets that feature flap closures.
The subtle khaki tone of the back pockets adds a refined accent, introducing a touch of contrast to the overall look.
These well-considered details enrich the trousers with visual depth from every angle, showcasing UMA WANG masterful balance of functionality and artistry.
The fabric is crafted from a wool-linen blend that reflects UMA WANG signature dedication to material expression.
While the fabric carries a substantial weight and density typical of wool, the linen component introduces a dry, crisp texture, creating a refined balance between volume and lightness.
This harmonious blend gives the wide silhouette a sophisticated drape without heaviness, achieving both structure and airiness.
The wool base ensures warmth and depth, making it ideal for the autumn and winter seasons.
In this styling, the soft, voluminous wool of the jacket, the brushed texture of the knit hoodie, and the dry, crisp surface of these trousers work in deliberate contrast—adding layered dimension and seasonal richness to the overall look.
For footwear, the look is completed with GUIDI’s signature mid-length side zip boots — a timeless model that embodies the brand’s artisanal spirit.
The diagonal cut of the shaft creates elegant leather draping, while the minimalist, flat silhouette maintains a sleek and grounded impression.
Crafted using the Goodyear welted construction and premium horse full-grain leather, these boots promise exceptional durability and comfort.
Over time, the leather develops a rich patina and personalized creasing, allowing wearers to enjoy the unique aging process that defines GUIDI’s enduring craftsmanship.
