vol.6 "Dressy Blousons!" VALENTINO

The series, helmed by Editor Demon King Tomoki Yusuke, reaches its sixth installment, stronger than ever. This time, we've chosen a military blouson, styled not for casual wear. Throwing it over a T-shirt and jeans is a look from a decade ago, or perhaps five decades ago. We propose a stylish approach, limited to specific colors.

VALENTINO

Tomoki“The darts at the back of the shoulders and the Rockstuds along the front zipper make a significant impact. Crafted from high-quality nylon with a slightly slim silhouette, it conveys a sophisticated impression. The tailoring is expertly done, resulting in a luxurious finish that is quintessentially Valentino. For those over forty, when buying a military jacket, it’s crucial not to opt for an authentic bomber jacket. It’s worth keeping in mind that a more refined item like this often looks more stylish.”

This stylish piece, a simple nylon bomber, is given an edge by the brand's iconic Rockstuds. The contrast lining—plain fabric on the back, and orange on the front and sleeves—is exquisite, offering a light and comfortable feel. ¥280,000 (VALENTINO / VALENTINO INFORMATION DESK 03-6384-3512)
