Words

I don't normally give a simple striped shirt a second glance, but Digawel seem to produce one I want almost every spring. They always manage to make a classic item look less like something a businessman would wear and more like something Tracey Emin might paint in if she couldn't find her pants. She'd call them trousers though.

—01. Dip-dyed paneling.
—02. 100% cotton.

Words

Mixing panels of fabric and colour is a huge trend in Japanese fashion this season. It makes sense, as the menswear market continues to grow at an accelerated rate, more and more people are looking for a way to distinguish themselves from the pack. As opposed to the heavy-handed application of this technique by quite a few brands, Digawel chose to do a subtle indigo dip-dye, striking a nice balance between new and old.

—01. Houndstooth body panels.
—02. Contrast arm fabric.

Words

If you don't already own an MA-1, chances are this will not be the first one you purchase. This is the option for those that have grown tired of the olive and black versions that get pushed out every fall from companies ranging from streetwear to high fashion. One good thing about using a classic silhouette like this, is that it looks that much more interesting when subjected to a new approach.

—01. Banded Collar.
—02. 100% Cotton.

Words

Once again, Japanese brand Digawel has succeeded at delivering a playful take on a classic. The wide blue and white stripes may conjure up mental images of Gordon Gekko era Wall Street, but the banded collar effectively offsets these conclusions, creating a unique garment easy to coordinate with almost any style of pant.
