Hello to everyone reading this blog. This is Kiriyama from Tokyu Plaza Ginza.
Thank you to everyone who came to the Tokyu Plaza 5x points event the other day. I'm glad the weather was nice.
Well, in this blog I would like to introduce my top picks for SS25!
GENTLEMANS DOUBLE BREASTED JACKET - HIGHDENSITY LINEN
Item No. 80500880006
Colour. Ivory / Navy
Staff height 162cm / wearing size 10
The double-breasted jacket first appeared in the 2019 Spring & Summer collection. It was a boyish style with a just-right size and a compact fit. Its popularity led to the release of a wool serge material version, making it a staple item for Nigel Cabourn WOMAN.
And the gentleman's double-breasted jacket will be available for the first time in the 2024 Autumn & Winter collection. It has evolved from its previous boyish look to a more men's loose fit. The length of the front body is long, and the silhouette that slopes down at the front has a moderate looseness that makes it look mature. In addition, the extra room around the arms makes it easy to put on and take off.
This is also worth a look if you own a double-breasted jacket from the past.

Let's take a deeper look at high density linen (ultra-high density linen).
Linen is characterized by its high moisture absorption, moisture release, and thermal conductivity (cool feeling). However, it is extremely difficult to weave linen into an elegant, firm fabric that can be used for jackets.
Hemp is a fiber that has no elasticity. Because of this, the threads can break while weaving the fabric. Furthermore, when weaving at an ultra-high density, the threads need to be pulled continuously. This is made possible by the high skills of our craftsmen and thorough management. There are only one or two weavers in Japan that can use this technique. It is an extremely valuable fabric.
This is an original Nigel Cabourn fabric that is woven at an ultra-high density, giving it an elegant luster and a firmness that you wouldn't expect from linen.

.
The reason for its popularity is that it is a jacket that can be worn casually. I personally recommend wearing the high density linen over a dress or pairing it with denim or other casual items! It's a piece that you should use like a cardigan.
This is already a popular item, so if you're interested, hurry up.

Nigel Cabourn often releases the same style for several seasons in a row, starting with Mallory Jacket and the photographer jacket. This is quite unusual in the fashion-influenced apparel industry. The gentleman's double-breasted jacket is a must-have item, with a timeless design yet unique.

Finally...the photos for this blog were taken at Sony Park, which was completed in January. It's right in front of Tokyu Plaza Ginza, so why not drop by?
