A-2 REAL McCOY’S Part2

Last time, I wrote about Real McCOY’S A-2 jacket. This time, I’d like to introduce some styling combinations I couldn’t cover in that article. The previous piece explored how men in their forties and beyond could wear the rugged A-2 in a sophisticated manner without appearing old-fashioned. This time, I wanted to present a more universal take on styling that truly captures the essence of the A-2. I don’t consider myself particularly well-dressed; I simply...

Brunello Cucinelli Corduroy Jacket Part2

Last time, I wrote about Brunero Cuccinelli’s corduroy jacket, but as the texture of the corduroy didn’t come across well in the photographs, I’ve added more images. This time, I’ll introduce some styling combinations that I couldn’t cover in the previous article. As touched upon in the previous article and the one on the shearling rider’s jacket, Brunello Cuccinelli’s garments possess not only the superior quality derived from excellent tailoring and fine materials, but also...

Brunello Cucinelli Shearing Biker Jacket

In our generation, it was called mouton, and more recently it’s known as shearling – a leather item where the sheepskin’s wool is sheared down to form the inner lining, with the leather surface facing outwards, resulting in a light, soft, and warm piece. This shearling, reimagined with Brunello Cucinelli’s sensibility into a double-faced biker jacket style, is the shearling biker jacket we’re introducing here. Double-faced rider jackets typically evoke rather rugged items like Schott,...

Berluti Galet Cursive Slippers : the long-loved ones.

A close junior colleague and friend had an important celebration, so I gifted them a pair of Berluti shoes, which they adore. This junior colleague had previously received a pair of my Berluti shoes as a gift, and they have truly treasured and worn those two pairs with great care. When I passed them on, Berluti’s handling of the customer registration change was also superb, leaving me deeply impressed and prompting me to write about...

Dior Cashmere Pea coat

As mentioned in my denim shirt article, I was swayed by a junior colleague’s comment: ‘Wouldn’t it be splendid to effortlessly wear Dior at sixty?’ Consequently, I purchased several Dior pieces this year. The main item is the cashmere peacoat featured here. Peacoats and duffle coats are items I favour, but finding one that truly suits me these days has proven rather difficult. This Dior cashmere peacoat, however, stands out. Compared to standard melton peacoats,...

A-2 REAL McCOY’S

For those aged 50 and above, when asked to picture vintage leather items, the A-2 flight jacket worn by the US Air Force during the Second World War likely springs to mind first. Even those uninterested in vintage clothing and unfamiliar with the name “A-2” will recognise the silhouette of leather jackets inspired by this design – the collar, shoulder epaulettes, and flap pockets on both sides – as a familiar sight. Since 2010, military-style...

Brunello Cucinelli Corduroy Jacket

Brunello Cucinelli’s double-breasted blazer with metal buttons. The colour is black rather than navy, crafted from exceptionally soft corduroy. Featuring a one-and-a-half breast design, this unstructured formal jacket embodies Brunello Cucinelli’s signature double-breasted style. Its exquisite silhouette prevents excessive gaping even when unbuttoned. With minimal interlining for relaxed comfort, it excels as a versatile jacket suitable for both formal and casual occasions. This blazer reinterprets the American blazer style with Brunello Cucinelli’s signature playful yet...

Wrangler Western Shirt (New Air Vintage)

This is a Western-style denim shirt from Wrangler, a brand that began as a Western wear label. Wrangler’s Western shirts are iconic pieces of men’s fashion, frequently featured in Western films and favoured by Steve McQueen. The Wrangler Western shirt featured here was sourced from the United States by New Air Vintage, a renowned vintage clothing shop in Osaka (though the shop itself is no longer operating, its owner is reportedly still active as a...

Dior Over Shirt (Black Denim)

A vintage-washed denim shirt crafted from a substantial 13.5-ounce fabric. Featuring Dior’s signature clean, straight-cut lines, it offers an impeccably flattering silhouette when worn. Introduction. Twenty years ago, I purchased and cherished shirts and knitwear from the Edie Slimane era of Dior Homme at Barneys New York. However, as I grew older, I wore them less frequently and eventually passed them on to a younger colleague. After that, I had no further connection with Dior...
