"ISSEY MIYAKE" Fine pleated shirt jacket

To innovate for people’s comfortable everyday life—an ideal that pursues both without compromise, neither one or the other,
ISSEY MIYAKE, a brand guided by the philosophy of creating that is not constrained by existing values, presents an iconic piece.

This piece features vertical micro-pleats infused with a sand beige nuance, casting shadows that move in step with your body.

Quietly layering the crisp lightness of a shirt with the neatness of a jacket, the front line that falls straight from a compact collar creates a composed rhythm with oversized buttons.

A pocket with two buttons at the chest serves as a subtle accent, leading the gaze upward for a cleaner impression around the face. The sides include switch details that create a gentle expansion; with each step, the pleats open like a fan. The structure allows the fabric to hold air and draw a three-dimensional expression, while the hem is designed so the pleat ridges flow directly into the edge. By minimizing the visual presence of the seam allowances, the continuity of the material itself stands out as design—an excellent feature indeed.

Made from 100% polyester, the fabric is lightweight and has excellent resilience, meaning wrinkles are less likely to be a concern even when worn for long periods. It delivers reliable performance for those with frequent commuting and even on trips. The soft beige tone complements all skin tones, naturally blending into both monochrome and earth-tone wardrobes, so it works as a core piece across seasons.

The added value of this single garment lies in how it incorporates the two roles of a shirt and tailored piece into one, translating the beauty of “a moving sculpture” of shadow and movement into everyday life through the pleats’ engineering-driven mobility. It achieves both a light feel and a crisp, polished appearance, and the design—where visual effects and functionality act in the same direction—truly reflects Issey Miyake.

For styling, pair it with drapey wool trousers and a fine-gauge knit; elegant layering that lets the vertical lines of the pleats take center stage is ideal. You can also emphasize a mid-length flared skirt with a narrow leather belt, and coordinate the inner layer in a silk-like finish—balancing the structure of mode with softness for an enjoyable, genderless look.

We would be delighted if you considered this opportunity.
