Selecting by Detail and Fabric: Tailored Jackets Embodying Brand Philosophy
CHIAHUNG SU | 1940s Coin Buttons: Unique Details that Emit an Artisan Atmosphere
This distinctive three-button peak lapel jacket is characteristic of CHIAHUNG SU, which fuses traditional Eastern garments and Western vintage elements with exceptional tailoring. The most notable feature is the material: a soft wool gauze fabric with an actual touch that is incredibly "fluffy" and luxurious. Since the tailoring is light, you can wear it casually, feeling more like a "cardigan" than a formal jacket.
The design is packed with meticulous details, such as the calculated tucks placed on both front panels and the right back, creating a three-dimensional look. The antique lining peeking from the cuffs and hem (which has a smooth, dry touch) exudes a unique artisan ambiance. Furthermore, the buttons are handcrafted from vintage coins dating back to the 1940s, giving the detail a truly unique presence. The silhouette is a regular fit with a slightly shorter length. The actual fit is "slightly tight" but with an exquisite pattern design that avoids any feeling of constriction and maintains a casual feel. As the fabric is not heavy, this piece is suitable for relatively long seasons.
KLASICA | Coexistence of the Universal and the Unsettling: Semi-Long Blazer with a Vintage Appearance
This exceptional double-breasted, semi-long blazer is tailored with a subtle sense of balance that, while seemingly universal, leaves "a certain feeling of discord," all while wearing a vintage apparel aesthetic typical of KLASICA. It adopts a deep striped wool fabric based on iron brown, and the actual feel is slightly "coarse," showcasing the brand's outstanding proprietary finishing techniques. Furthermore, the pressing finish highlights the fabric's texture, adding a dignified feel.
The silhouette, dubbed "Loomy Shape," is characterized by a balance that offers a relaxed, yet calm impression with moderate roominess. While the double-breasted front adds a crisp impression, the texture of the nuts buttons and the black cotton lining enhance the classic mood. The semi-long length allows it to be worn not only as a blazer but also unisexually with the "feel of a short coat." Excellent in heat retention and moisture absorption, this is a stylish piece that performs well even in winter.
ZIGGY CHEN | Creative Drape from Intentional Distortion: The Calculated Forward-Dropping Jacket
This three-button jacket fully incorporates ZIGGY CHEN's innovative construction and tailoring technology, blending Western culture with ancient Chinese traditional design. Its biggest feature is the unique drape drawn across the front. This is achieved through a calculated design where the left front body panel is intentionally cut longer to create an "intentional distortion" when the buttons are fastened. The fabric is a blended material combining the soft drape of linen with the luster and smoothness of silk. The actual feel is extremely pleasant on the skin, combining the "smooth" and slightly brushed texture unique to silk with the "slickness" characteristic of linen. It resists wrinkling and emphasizes the beautiful drape. A light, comfortable fit, surprisingly less heavy than it looks, is also appealing.
The silhouette is set to a "just size" with ample room in the body. While having enough margin for layering, the form is well-balanced, subtly tapering towards the hem. Classic elements such as the refined peak lapels, authentic functioning cuffs (hon-seppa), and stone-washed, heavy horn buttons coexist with originality, making this a piece that condenses the brand's worldview, perfect for the early autumn through early spring.
DEVOA | Faliero Sarti Camel Fabric: An Ultra-Lightweight Jacket That Feels Like Nothing Is Worn
A classic five-button jacket by DEVOA where sophisticated maturity subtly permeates the minimal design. The main feature is the fabric, custom-ordered from the prestigious Italian fabric manufacturer, Faliero Sarti, and utilizing high-grade camel hair. Pilling is applied to the outer surface to maximize the hair's texture, resulting in an actual feel that is "fluffy" and luxurious, with both smoothness and a matte finish.
The silhouette is a sharp regular fit, but the wearing experience is exceptional. DEVOA's signature anatomical pattern is applied throughout, designed for a highly functional size balance, achieving a lightweight feel that gives the wearer the illusion of "not wearing anything" at all, ensuring stress-free wear. Although the design is simple, it is a two-way specification: fastening the top two buttons allows it to be worn as a stand collar, while closing the bottom three makes it a peak lapel jacket. This is a timeless masterpiece for adults to cherish for many years.
Ann Demeulemeester | Iconic Grosgrain Ribbon: Avant-Garde Design Found Even in the Lining
The material is high-quality 100% cotton twill fabric, and as its name "Light" suggests, it realizes a durable, yet light and comfortable fit. The actual touch is "smooth" and dry, and the matte black tone further enhances the modern atmosphere. The silhouette combines drop shoulders and a straight fit, yet has a slight taper at the waist, forming a beautiful line. This exquisite balance of classic and modern embodies the collection's theme of "journey." The slightly oversized pockets offer excellent functionality, and the commitment to detail extends even to the lining, which is adorned with English lettering and graphics.
sulvam | Elegance and Playfulness: Asymmetric Design Featuring Black Layering of Different Materials
This jacket is characterized by a design that translates sulvam's elegance and aesthetic symbols into contemporary mode. While it looks like an orthodox tailored jacket at first glance, the asymmetrical cutting and the layered fabric of different materials peeking from the pocket areas convey the brand's unique playfulness and creativity.
The core of this item is the overwhelming texture of the moisture-absorbing wool gabardine fabric. The actual feel combines the "stiffness" created by high-density weaving with the "drape" of the fabric, resulting in a "smooth" and extremely elegant luster. Characterized by an appropriate suppleness—neither too stiff nor too soft—it is also highly practical, being pleasant to the touch, durable, and resistant to wrinkles. Furthermore, the joy of "cultivating" the fabric as its luster increases with wear is an added attraction. The silhouette pursues the beauty of orthodox tailoring with a precisely calculated just size. The smooth material creates an elegant atmosphere, embodying the brand's worldview directly.
Design and Silhouette with Unique Brand Interpretation: Tailored Jackets that Draw Out the Wearer's Individuality
ZIGGY CHEN | Innovative Tailoring: Patchwork Jacket Creating Volume with Tonal, Mixed Materials
The material is a jacquard woven cotton-wool blend, dark brown as the base with black brushing added. The actual feel is rich in expression, characterized by a "fluffy" texture and the fabric's inherent "loft." The silhouette is uniquely balanced, built tight while keeping the length short. This distinct ZIGGY CHEN silhouette allows you to experience sculptural beauty that sets it apart the moment you put it on. With layered details at the cuffs and hem, heavy horn buttons with a stonewash finish, and curved seam lines, the brand's aesthetic is condensed into every detail, giving it an outstanding presence.
STOVAIGH | Expressing Mountain Ridges in Fabric: A Unique, Voluminous Texture
A cropped jacket by STOVAIGH, inspired by Eastern philosophy and old photographs, imbued with a distinctive atmosphere. Symbolic of this season is the fabric that expresses "undulation," conceived from mountain ridge landscapes. This is achieved through a unique technique of regularly and finely fraying the threads, creating a one-of-a-kind texture with depth.
The actual feel is a coexistence of a "fluffy" texture and a "smooth" texture, resulting in a very "voluminous" and rich fabric quality. The material blends linen and wool with nylon, achieving softness, breathability, and tough shape retention. The faint luster unique to linen beautifully harmonizes with this distinctive fabric expression. The silhouette features a short length balanced with slightly longer arms, a unique design that exudes an artisan feel. Large lapels allow for a stand-collar wear option, and details such as the three-dimensional double-flap pockets and buttons that shine like minerals condense the brand's commitment.
Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO | Coexistence of Street and Classic: A Revolutionary Triple-Layered Jacket
A tailored jacket that highlights Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO's specialty: unique "reconstruction" technology. While based on a classic tailored jacket, it features a radical triple-layered design that boldly docks a sweatshirt hoodie (symbolizing the street mood) and a check shirt. This single piece creates a complex and profound look, as if a perfectly calculated, expert layering style has been achieved.
The material uses washed wool, expressing a vintage texture that looks as if it has been cherished for years, despite being new. The actual feel is "slightly rough," allowing you to perceive the rich unevenness of the fabric. Notably, the hoodie and check shirt are cleverly docked as components. This means that, contrary to the visible volume, the fit does not feel bulky, allowing for a light drape. This piece releases the tension of a classic jacket with the brand's unique playfulness, where street style and classicism coexist exquisitely.
Sophisticated Casual and Mode for Adults: Hooded Jackets Embodying Functional Beauty
CROMAGNON | Dialogue and Handiwork in India: A Hand-Woven Hooded Coat Embodying the Designer's Passion
A hooded coat that encapsulates the essence of CROMAGNON for this season. Particularly noteworthy is the original hand-woven fabric, produced after the designer, Mr. Nishida, visited a local atelier in India to hold discussions with the craftsmen. Woven in a factory with supply experience to famous fashion houses, this fabric features a large stripe pattern combining brown weft threads with black and navy warp threads. The uneven expression created by the thick threads conveys the warmth of handwork. The actual feel directly conveys the fabric's slightly "coarse" texture and unevenness, with a unique quality that appears faded depending on the viewing angle. It is also extremely robust and excellent in cold protection and heat retention, functioning fully as a true winter outerwear piece.
The silhouette adopts a modified raglan sleeve and a short length, creating a voluminous shape with a "unique roundness" when worn. While having ample margin for layering thick knitwear, it combines an elegant dignity within a simple, relaxed design. The "standing, three-dimensional hood" with a wide neck opening pairs well with turtleneck knitwear, and the commitment to aesthetics extends to unseen details, such as the vintage scarf-patterned cupra lining in the sleeves.
The Viridi-anne | Coexistence of Tech and Mode: High-Density Twill Fusing Bomber and Hood
A jacket reflecting The Viridi-anne's active design philosophy, featuring a unique look that fuses a military bomber jacket with a hood. The maximum appeal of this item lies in its minimal pattern-making, which successfully merges a technical feel with a modern, mode atmosphere. The material uses high-density cotton-nylon twill with a washed finish, but the actual feel is "slick" and possesses an elegant luster. Its high water repellency is also reliable, making it suitable for daily use without worrying about the weather.
unctional design details shine throughout, such as the hood that maintains a three-dimensional shape through unique stitching, and the three-dimensional arm designed with darts at the elbows to ensure a range of motion. The silhouette is set loose with room in the body, yet designed to be short and compact in length. This balance makes it easy to coordinate with any innerwear, functioning as an autumn outer layer or a mid-layer under a heavy coat in deep winter—a highly versatile and wearable piece.
Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME | Smooth Luster of 50d Filament: The Overwhelming Volume of a 2-Way Padded Jacket
A hooded, padded jacket by Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME that merges iconic material texture with modern functionality. The outer fabric uses nylon taffeta derived from extremely fine 50d raw filament, characterized by an incredibly smooth touch and a slightly lustrous appearance that enhances the mode atmosphere. The fabric, dyed uniformly with advanced technology, also possesses water repellency, giving it functional beauty that handles poor weather.
Design-wise, the three-dimensional diagonal quilting and the voluminous hood that securely covers the neck are striking. The overall relaxed, oversized silhouette, combined with the generous amount of padding enclosed, provides overwhelming volume and superior heat retention, warding off the deep winter cold. Furthermore, it is reversible, and the lining also uses a water-repellent functional material, allowing for enjoyment of different looks depending on the occasion. This is an outstanding outerwear piece that allows you to feel the brand's black mode worldview in its entirety.
Balance of Minimalism and Cold Protection: High-Neck Design Jackets that Emphasize Silhouette
JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE | Stand Collar for Play: Sophisticated Oversize That Conforms to the Body
A stand-collar jacket that highlights the magical pattern-making unique to JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE, which naturally conforms to the wearer's body. The design, which exudes a "dignified genderless" atmosphere, is the embodiment of the brand's aesthetic, transcending gender and trends. The silhouette is oversized with deeply set drop shoulders, conveying a calm impression. The ample room in the body ensures comfort even when layering thick innerwear in deep winter.
The most distinctive feature, the high stand collar, can be freely arranged according to preference—either raised for a sharp, stoic look or laid down for a relaxed, casual feel. The material is a blend of rare virgin wool and cotton; while it offers the certain warmth of wool, the actual touch is surprisingly smooth. The pleasant, non-"itchy" feel against the bare skin ensures comfort without stress during long wear. Delicate details such as the pintuck-like design on the front, wide seam allowances, and hem side adjusters give a deep sense of dimension to the simple look.
D.HYGEN | Heat Retention of Polish Down: Unique Smooth Texture from Product Coating
A down jacket that embodies D.HYGEN's "Strainism" through a unique high-neck design that minimizes exposed skin, exuding a decadent and aesthetic atmosphere. The main feature is the detachable horse leather gloves, the brand's iconic detail, positioned at the cuffs. This aggressive yet functional design asserts a unique and unparalleled individuality. The material is an extremely lightweight and smooth rayon twill fabric, coated during product processing. The resulting actual feel is "smooth" yet gives a matte, substantial atmosphere and the definite thickness of the fabric.
It is filled with a higher-than-usual amount of the highest quality Polish White Goose Down, forming a voluminous silhouette while ensuring ease of movement through a complex one-piece pattern. By pairing this overwhelming volume on the upper body with slim-fit pants, the brand's characteristic beautifully balanced styling is completed. Excellent in functionality with large-sized pockets, this piece seamlessly integrates superior design and practicality.
Wearable Art Pieces: Design Jackets Featuring Unique Cutting and Presence
UMA WANG | Eastern Philosophy and Artisan: A China Jacket with Boa Lining and Dignity
A thick China jacket incorporating UMA WANG's characteristic beautiful and refined tailoring technology. Based on traditional design, it is sublimated into a unique aesthetic that evokes Eastern philosophy, with an exquisite balance of dignity and timeless beauty. Particularly noteworthy are the complex material texture and high cold protection. The fabric, a blend of linen and virgin wool, possesses a unique texture where a "fluffy" softness coexists with the "crispness" of linen.
Furthermore, the inside is meticulously crafted with a brushed boa lining, ensuring excellent heat retention that is reliable even in the severe cold of mid-winter, all while maintaining an artisan atmosphere. The silhouette is oversized, distinguished by a three-dimensional volume that appears structural despite its simple pattern. Excellent details, where classicism and mode merge, shine throughout, such as the stand collar that cleanly frames the neck, decorative knot buttons that drape at the tips, and large-sized pockets.
JULIUS | Leather-like Aging: A Padded Blouson with a "Moist" Texture from Coating
A padded blouson that concentrates the unique worldview of JULIUS, rendered in a dark, black-based color palette. The material used is "COATED CLOTH," which is 100% cotton with a coating applied. It has a rich, shadowy expression that appears both matte and sharp depending on how the light hits it, and with wear, creases and wrinkles deepen, allowing for aging similar to leather. Although visually it has a slightly hard, metallic impression, the actual feel is distinctively "moist," contrary to its appearance.
The silhouette is oversized with a modern balance, featuring a short length contrasted by long sleeves. The brand's signature complex pattern-making is applied throughout, exuding overwhelming volume and presence when worn. It allows for free arrangement, such as creating a rounded form with the hem drawstring or showing the inner layer with the cuff zips. Combining reliable heat retention from the padding with the lightness unique to the coated fabric, this piece elevates the winter monotone style with its rugged texture and three-dimensional cutting.
Functional Beauty in Design: Work Jackets that Blend into Daily Life
DEVOA | Faliero Sarti's Voluminous Wool: A Work Jacket That Can Be Worn Like a Coat
A simple jacket based on a classic work jacket, yet exuding a minimalist atmosphere typical of DEVOA. Noteworthy is the special fabric, a blend of virgin wool and linen produced by the prestigious Italian company Faliero Sarti. The surface has a soft, warm texture, and the actual feel is "smooth" and comfortable, despite containing the resilient quality of linen.
While it appears extremely simple at first glance, putting it on reveals DEVOA's unique three-dimensional pattern-making applied throughout. The silhouette is a regular fit with drop shoulders, and the length is set slightly longer than other jackets, allowing it to be worn not only as a jacket but also "draped like a coat." Layering knitwear provides sufficient heat retention for mid-winter outerwear. Highly recommended for those who favor a sophisticated adult normcore style, it offers high versatility from casual to classic and can be cherished for a long time, free from fleeting trends.
Overwhelming Texture and Design: Fur Jackets with Eye-Catching Presence
doublet | Long-Pile Fluffy Texture: A Loose Silhouette and Evil Grin That Starts Conversations
A fur jacket that embodies doublet's concept of "everyday wear with a sense of discord" with humor and a touch of mischief. The biggest feature of this item is that a completely different narrative begins depending on the viewing angle. From the front, it is an extremely elegant and luxurious fur jacket, with a high collar that suggests sophistication. However, the back reveals a monster with an unsettlingly open mouth. This evil smile is not intended to instill fear but creates a unique design that makes people want to ask, "What is that?"
The actual feel is "fluffy" with slightly long piles, and the deliberately ruffled texture gives off a wildness that deviates from traditional elegance, creating a unique aura in synergy with the creepy print design on the back. The silhouette is a loose, relaxed design that captures current trends. The balance is excellent due to the long length and sleeve length, and the wide body ensures ample room for layering thick innerwear. This is truly a statement piece that challenges fixed ideas of elegance and presents new values.
