—01. 85% cotton, 15% hemp.

Words

The Japanese brand Kato' always does a great job of taking unassuming items and imbuing them with unique and useful design tweaks. The spread collar on this work shirt gives it a distinctive feel, while the large chest pockets would make it a lot easier to carry items I constantly have trouble fitting into conventional versions, like my near tablet-sized phone.

Words

The Japanese shop Loftman seems to receive an almost constant stream of new arrivals, including a wide range of American-made products that Westerners would never be able to find at home. I’ve been looking at and coveting the breadth of Crescent Down Works' designs for a few years now, always impressed by their functionality and simplicity. I have never seen this amazing Coach Jacket though, and the obsessive side of my personality is probably going to wish I hadn’t.

—01. Welt pockets.
—02. Patchwork construction.

Words

This variegated amalgam of brown duck canvas fabrics adds a lot of visual interest to the fairly basic Arrow Jacket by Needles. Having poked around in a number of shops before finding this hunting piece, it's apparent that patchwork is a prevalent trend this season. Many brands seem to be doing it for the novelty of pairing disparate fabric panels, but the Rebuild line uses this approach as its signature season after season, crafting entirely new one-off creations from a wide range of vintage items.

Words

The Japanese outdoor brand Snow Peak have really upped their clothing output in the last few seasons. The utilitarian items they produce have a strong foothold in the luxe camping market, but the company is also making a name for itself with highly desirable garments, like this fleece pullover. Reminiscent of designs from the past, it relies on the warmth of wool and the functionality of a hood and a central pouch pocket, to create a strong design that offers everything you need from a jacket like this.
