Words

While I’m always appreciative of the outstanding details on Junya Watanabe pieces, sometimes it's the items exercising restraint that bowl me over the most. That’s how this warm winter cardigan struck me on first sight. The elbow patches and pockets are in keeping with the line’s usual flourishes, but rendering them in black against a dark knitted body results in something altogether more wearable.

—01. Reversible.
—02. Made in Japan.

Words

Seil Marschall, makers of exquisite outdoor gear since 1896, seems like a spectacular fit for a collaboration with Junya Watanabe. The fruit of that union is this reversible shirt-jacket. One side is more conventional, taking cues from utility jackets, while the other offers a bolder, patchwork feel, embellished with zipped pockets.

—02. Contrast pockets.

Words

'Reasonably priced' is an objective statement when it comes to fashion, and especially when it comes to Junya Watanabe. So let's ignore the cost for the moment and concentrate on the details and the design, which, on this piece, are in abundance without being overpowering. Here the details are practical; adjustable cuffs, rear vent, and side entry compartments, while the contrast herringbone fabric on the patch pockets makes for a subtle and wearable take on a traditional Watanabe design cue.

Words

There's always one or two Junya Watanabe pieces every season that really stand out for me. This Cotton Canvas Mac is the real winner. The khaki cotton next to the corduroy cuff and collar trim, longer length and interesting pocket arrangements all make it a great jacket for fall.
