Japanese Clothing

Japan is where a large part of the Up There buy has always come from. Not as a theme, but because the country's small mills and factories have kept alive techniques that were abandoned almost everywhere else.

That shows up in different ways across the brands we stock. Kapital reworks indigo and boro techniques into pieces that look genuinely unlike anything else. Needles rebuilds vintage garments into new ones. orSlow reproduces mid-century American workwear on original machinery. A.PRESSE approaches the same period through the lens of tailoring. Nanamica and Beams Plus sit at the cleaner, more wearable end.

Sizing is the one thing to watch. Japanese labels generally run one to two sizes smaller than European or American equivalents. Size guides are on every product page, and our Melbourne store carries most of these brands to try on.
