"ISSEY MIYAKE MEN" Random stripe pattern V-neck vest

From ISSEY MIYAKE MEN, whose philosophy is to create without being constrained by existing value—pursuing both innovation and daily life, without compromising between them, for people’s comfortable everyday lives—

we present a piece whose archival value truly stands out.

Featuring random stripes that flow vertically and weave subtle shadow, this piece also allows the deep V-zone to beautifully frame the emptiness of the chest.

The textured fabric, with its fine creases, gently absorbs light and guides the eye along the vertical direction. It presents the body’s lines cleanly while creating expression through a slight, natural movement.

Designed with a slightly lower V-neck, the balance keeps the shirt’s stand collar and high neck looking neat and proportionate. Meanwhile, the five understated, lustre-suppressed buttons maintain the calm of the front while adding depth. The hem is given a slight point toward the front, and the horizontal line of the welt pockets sharpens the vertical rhythm. In addition, the tie-type adjuster placed at the back lets you fine-tune the waist fit—an especially welcome detail.

Inside, a smooth lining is used for seamless on-and-off, and because it fits comfortably as an inner layer under coats or jackets, it is a reliable presence you can count on across seasons.

The value lies in how the results of Miya­ke’s distinctive textile research are embodied as “vertical architectural structure.” By harmonizing straight lines with subtle unevenness, the overall composition’s balance is naturally set, and it achieves a “quiet design” that is minimal yet leaves a lasting impression. Furthermore, because the front and back are tailored in the same material, the finished look remains intact the moment you remove the jacket—so you can enjoy it as an unfussy, steady presence even on busy days when you move between day and night and across different settings.

For styling, pair a crisp shirt with wool trousers, then layer a tailored jacket over it—so the vertical stripes respond to the lines of the layering, making the elegance of its core strength stand out. Alternatively, if you drape a wool long coat over a glossy top, the contrast between materials creates room for a mode-like mood, elevating it into a modern nuance without regard to gender.

Please consider this opportunity.
