Made in Japan

Japanese designers and Japanese making: Issey Miyake, Undercover, Kapital, Sulvam and more.

Clothes made in Japan pair exact construction with sculptural cuts, working through dense natural wool, crisp cotton, and pleated cloth.

Sharp tailoring meets relaxed volume across black, deep blue, and muted green. Sulvam's Teppei Fujita cut patterns for years before starting his label, and his tailoring has frayed edges and uneven hems. Undercover brings Tokyo street subculture into tailored wool jackets, joining precise sewing to punk details. UJOH, Mitsuru Nishizaki's Tokyo label, builds formal suiting on bold pattern cutting.

Pants, shirts, and outerwear anchor the wardrobe. Pair wide pleated trousers with a clean cotton shirt, or balance a loose tailored blazer over a fine knit. WDLT117 in Toronto carries the clothes, from Issey Miyake's pleats to Sulvam and UJOH, and Due West adds Porter bags and Descente jackets, also made in Japan.

Common questions

What defines tailoring made in Japan?
Japanese tailoring focuses on structural precision, raw seam details, and loose silhouettes cut from substantial wool and cotton cloth. Designers balance formal jacket patterns with relaxed proportions that move naturally.
Which designers lead modern Japanese fashion?
Sulvam, Undercover, and UJOH shape modern Japanese fashion through sharp patternmaking, street culture references, and unexpected proportions. Each cuts familiar shapes into new forms.
How do you style loose Japanese trousers?
Wear pleated or asymmetric trousers with a neat cotton button down shirt and a structured jacket. The clean lines of the top balance the volume of the pants.
