A stylist suggests a new way to wear the T-jacket.
T-JACKET" is the parent company of "TONELLO," which possesses authentic classic Italian sartorial techniques, and proposes a jacket style that can be easily incorporated into everyday wear. In the recent trend toward casual tailored jackets, T-JACKET is a pioneer in this crossover of dress and casual wear. For this issue, we invited Masaaki Ida, who is involved in a wide range of styling for magazines and advertisements, to talk about the appeal of the T-jacket and to propose three coordinated outfits using the T-jacket as the subject matter.
. dressy and graceful, but can also be worn rough and ready.
When did you first learn of the existence of the "T-Jacket"?
well rice fieldT-Jacket" I have been using this brand for styling and item introductions in magazines since its establishment. In Classico Italia, unconstructed jackets that do not use secondary materials are common, and above all, the sewing specifications are very good, so at first I thought it was a classic brand. One day, however, I was told by the press representative of BEAMS that "this is a brand that can be worn like a T-shirt or cardigan," and that changed my view of the items.
T-Jacket" is actively using shirt fabrics and materials used for women's jackets, rather than the fabrics used for regular jackets.
well rice fieldSince I learned that "this is a brand that wants you to wear it like a T-shirt," I have changed my mindset when I use it in my staring. If you ask me, the lapel shape and overall silhouette are extremely classic and graceful, but the materials used for the jackets also have a twist to them, such as stretch and weave to create a three-dimensional effect. Contrasting materials is one of the themes in this styling as well.
The "T Jacket" has hanger loops on the back yoke, and cuffs that are tailored without cut-outs or buttons, etc. , which are different from ordinary jackets. Do the details change the way you wear the jacket?
well rice field. Thanks to the simple cuffs, I can roll up my arms and wear it, which I think increases the range of my outfits. The jersey jacket I am wearing today is navy on the front, but the back is made of brown fabric to create a color contrast when rolled up. The cleverness in this area is as you would expect from an Italian brand.
Recently, there has been an increase in casual and rough jackets. . what do you think is the difference between them and "T-jackets"? What do you think is the difference between these jackets and T-jackets?
well rice field. It is a casual jacket made by a brand with a classic backbone. It can be worn like a cardigan, but when you try it on, you will feel like you are wearing a well-tailored tailored jacket. With solid tailoring skills behind it, I think it can be worn in both casual and dress-down outfits with a tailored, mature look.
The navy "T Jacket" was worn as a navy blue blazer, with an old college sweatshirt as an innerwear, thick denim pants, and penny loafers. This is a modern collegiate style with a twist of silhouette.
How was it working on the styling this time around?
well rice fieldWhat surprised me was just how versatile the brand is. It can be worn like a dress, or it can be incorporated into one's usual coordination and still fit well. If it is a royal road jacket style, it is a brand with such a wide range of wearing styles that it is possible to easily coordinate them. There are not many other jackets that fit every element of tailored, casual, sports, and trendy styles.
It can be an introduction to jackets for young people , or an item for adults to dress up or down.
Who would you recommend T-Jacket to?
well rice fieldIf you are in your 20s and do not yet own a jacket, you can easily fit in by simply adding it to your regular old clothes or casual coordinates, and if you are in your 30s or older and have become accustomed to dressing down in a jacket style, this is a brand that allows you to take a more drastic approach to dressing down. It is truly an item that can be taken in with the feeling of a cardigan or a woven item, rather than wearing a jacket.
Many users keep it in their bags on a regular basis and throw it on when they need to wear a jacket.
well rice fieldThis is possible not only because it is tailored to be handled roughly, but also because the design makes it easy to coordinate with any outfit. I have been in the mood to wear a jacket recently, but I often feel that it is too much of a hassle to carry a tightly tailored jacket because I have to hang it up and carry it around. Items like the "T-Jacket" that can be handled roughly but still have a sense of elegance are precious.
Are there any points to keep in mind when coordinating?
well rice fieldSince this is a brand that incorporates sartorial techniques, I think it would be easier to put it all together if you choose elegant shoes and watches when you dress it down. I think it would also work well if you decide on one line of thought in your mind, such as "work with a dressy look" or "Ivy with a modern silhouette," and then combine them. You can also wear them in a more formal way, but personally, I think they are particularly outstanding with trendy items.
Masaaki Ida plays with the T-shirt-like jacket to the fullest .
We know that this jacket can be tied up and matched with a business casual look, so we dared to create a proposal type of outfit," says Mr. Ida. By taking the "T-Jacket" as the subject matter and combining it with items that are currently on Mr. Ida's mind, a fresh, trend-setting styling was completed.

. "The one-tone navy combination contrasts with the jacket, innerwear, and pants, each of which is made of a different material. . In addition, a big-size knit polo is matched with the innerwear, and the hem length adds a playful touch. The use of a leather baseball cap and thick-soled sneakers as accessories adds a classy and sporty touch."
About The Jacket
This 2-button jacket is made of stretch seersucker. The crepe crepe wrinkles that are unique to seersucker are subdued, and the navy × navy combination makes it possible to wear it solidly. A lighter ounce fabric than seersucker for suits is used to add a sense of lightness. ￥57,000+TAX(MIKI SHOJI )
. I dared to combine it with overalls. . I used a cotton linen material instead of denim fabric and paired it with elegant leather sandals so that it would not be too rough. It's like wearing a camel cardigan, but by combining it with a jacket with lapels, I think it gives it a more mature look."

. we have created a styling of jeans that is one step ahead of the rest. Boot-cut raw denim, which is now attracting attention from fashion-conscious people, is paired with an elegant mock-neck knit T-shirt and dressy leather shoes to create a moderately fashionable look that takes the boot-cut denim out of the picture. Since the body is tailored so that it can be worn double or with the front open, it is also a good idea to combine vintage prints inside.
About The Jacket
A checkered pattern is expressed using red, white, and blue tricolor yarns. The thick yarns are sweetly beaten to give the fabric itself a three-dimensional feel, while at the same time ensuring breathability. At first glance, it looks like a thick fabric, but because it is made for ladies, it is lightweight and feels lightweight and cool to the touch. ¥67,000+TAX(MIKI SHOJI )
