"PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE" Irregularly washed shirt jacket

We would like to introduce you to an iconic masterpiece from PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE, which has established itself as one of the top domestic brands by developing materials from a single thread and adhering to a unique method of "product pleating" in which pleats are added after sewing.

This masterpiece has a subtle jet black luster and delicately engraved shadows that enhance its three-dimensional presence.

The slightly dry textured textile takes a different approach to the brand's signature pleats, with irregular folds all over the garment creating a "wrinkled" look that seems to be filled with air, creating a coexistence of lightness and quiet tension in the fabric. The front placket is simply designed like a shirt, but the length is cut back at the waist to create a slightly shorter box silhouette, giving it the versatility of a jacket, and it can be worn as an inner layer or a light jacket.

In addition, the three-dimensional cut lines running throughout the garment are particularly impressive, with straight and curved lines intersecting from the shoulders to the sleeves and body, which creates a unique look in the movement of the fabric. The sewing is done with extremely smooth and careful piping, and the brand's consistent stance as "wearable art" can be quietly felt here as well.

This combination of structure and softness enhances the form without overly emphasizing the physicality, making it a design that fits beautifully regardless of gender. This in-between presence that is not dependent on a specific format is exactly what makes PLEATS PLEASE so appealing.

This is a masterpiece that can serve as the foundation for your outfit, and is highly recommended for those who want to incorporate a certain sense of form and atmosphere into their daily lives while avoiding excessive assertion, and for those looking for a piece that quietly expresses their individuality.

In terms of styling, pairing it with bottoms that contrast the heavy and light textures, such as wool gabardine wide pants or silk slacks, will bring out the shadows of the materials even more, and by layering it with a no-collar outerwear or sleeveless vest, you can create an outfit with depth that makes the most of the beauty of the lines and surfaces.

Please take this opportunity.
