Vol. 6: "Dressed Up, The Blouson!" LOEWE

The series, helmed by Editor-in-Chief Tomoki Sukezane, reaches its sixth installment, proving ever more popular. This time, he selects a military blouson, deliberately styled away from casual wear. Wearing it over a T-shirt and jeans is a look from a decade ago, or perhaps five decades ago. We propose a stylish approach using a limited color palette.

Sukezane“The look of the item is pure military, but the material, like the exquisite nappa leather used, is luxurious. It’s the perfect blouson to wear with a dress. The silhouette is slightly slim, yet because it’s nappa, it’s thin and soft, and remarkably, it doesn’t feel stiff at all, which is typical of leather. The smooth, supple texture of the leather pairs beautifully with the light olive green, and the fact that the collar’s shearling is also made in the same color is incredibly cool. It’s truly a rich piece enveloped in extreme allure.”

This bomber aviator expresses the brand’s signature exquisite leather craftsmanship through a rugged item. The subtle details, such as the distressed finish on the ribbed cuffs and hem, and the tab for the stand collar, are superb. The orange leather tab on the zipper pull also serves as a chic color accent. ¥527,000 (approximate retail price) (LOEWE / LOEWE JAPAN CUSTOMER SERVICE 03-6215-6116)
