Founded in 2005 by Ichiro Nakatsu in Hyogo, this is a brand which celebrates workwear, military wear and vintage Levis from the 50s and 60s: essentially a heritage brand without the decades of history, using original garments as prototypes for Nakatsu’s modern interpretation. As the name suggests this is the very antithesis of fast fashion; the very model of clothing designed and crafted carefully and thoughtfully and purposefully.

For legwear choose the 107 Ivy Fit jean (in one wash or 2 year wash) or the New Yorker pant. Jackets and shirting are US Army Tropical Jacket and Fatigue Shirt. One pocket tee is the classic.
