Japanese Clothing Brands

Pleated trousers, down jackets, denim, hats and sneakers from Japanese clothing brands, in stock at independent boutiques.

Japanese clothing brands include ASICS from Kobe, Porter bags from Tokyo and the pleated clothes of Issey Miyake, and several of them began with something other than clothes. ASICS started with a basketball shoe, Porter comes from a Tokyo bag maker set up in the nineteen thirties, and AMBUSH began as a jewelry line.

Undercover makes wool jackets, blazers and printed blousons, and Homme Plisse Issey Miyake and Pleats Please Issey Miyake make pleated trousers, tops and dresses. Kijima Takayuki opened his hat workshop in Daikanyama, Tokyo, in the mid nineties, and Toga Pulla comes from Toga, the Tokyo label set up two years later. Descente, which started in Osaka in the nineteen thirties, brings down jackets.

WDLT117 in Toronto carries the Issey Miyake lines, Undercover and Kijima Takayuki hats. Due West in Toronto carries Porter bags, AMBUSH and Descente, and Utopia in Toronto carries ASICS sneakers, Bape and Kapital jeans, some of them pre owned.
