Outerwear is where Japanese labels tend to be most inventive. The category carries enough construction detail to reward technique, and enough surface area to carry an idea.

Nanamica runs the technical end, applying GORE-TEX and other performance fabrics to shapes borrowed from traditional outdoor and naval clothing. Kapital does the opposite and puts hand-work, patchwork and indigo dye into pieces that read as garments first. A.PRESSE sits with tailored blousons and leather. Daiwa Pier39 bridges fishing gear and city clothing.

Layer accordingly. Most Japanese outerwear is cut with a mid-layer already accounted for, so a size up is rarely necessary even if the shoulder feels close in a shirt.

Looking for something specific?

Do Japanese jackets fit differently?

They usually run smaller in the shoulder and chest but are cut with layering already accounted for through the body. Most people take one size up from their Japanese size but do not need to go beyond their usual international size.

What is the most versatile Japanese jacket to buy first?

A chore coat or coach jacket. Both go over a tee or a knit, both sit under a heavier coat in winter, and neither competes with what is underneath.

Are Japanese jackets waterproof?

Some are. Nanamica works extensively in GORE-TEX and other membrane fabrics. Most other Japanese outerwear is cotton or wool and is water resistant at best.

How should Japanese outerwear be cared for?

Check the label, since many are indigo dyed or unwashed and will bleed on the first wash. Air rather than wash where possible, and dry clean anything wool or heavily constructed.
