This piece starts with a vintage French work jacket, reconstructed by hand with traditional Japanese fabrics layered on the front body, elbows, and collar.
The applied patches include katazome, indigo-dyed cloth, and sakiori textiles—materials that carry the depth and character shaped by time. Each fragment retains traces of its past use, which are embraced and carefully stitched together with needle and thread.
Blending historical craftsmanship with contemporary workwear, the jacket is reinterpreted beyond the boundaries of repair and decoration. With wear, the stitching settles in and the overall texture continues to develop, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
