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

The sixth installment of Editor Demon King Tomoki Yusuke’s passionate selections is in full swing. This time, he’s chosen a military blouson, deliberately styled away from casual wear. Simply throwing it over a T-shirt and jeans is a look from a decade ago, or perhaps five decades ago. We propose a stylish way to wear it, limited by color.

Tomoki“This is the G9, the archetype of all blousons. Born in 1938, its silhouette and design have undergone minor changes over time, but it retains an authentic charm. While navy, black, and red are common outer colors, the olive green offers a more mature and different impression, which is interesting. This is a classic that should be worn elegantly.”

Since its explosive popularity in the 1960s among Hollywood stars and musicians during its golden age, the G9 has become a must-have in men's wardrobes. Originally designed as golf outerwear based on a British military jumper, this blouson, along with the Fraser tartan—a combination of red, blue, and green—is an eternal icon of menswear. ¥46,000 (Baracuta / Supreme Inc. 03-3583-3151)
