Buyer Yosuke Kagami will solve your problems! The art of ordering custom-made trousers to dramatically improve your summer wardrobe.(1/3)

This season, the "change in pant silhouettes" has been attracting attention not only on Isetan Men's Net but also in various media outlets, and at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building there has been an increase in requests for "pants with pleats that are loose around the waist and tightly tapered below the knee, as seen in street style photos at Pitti Uomo," and "pants with a classic design that looks like they were made by a bespoke tailor." However, when you pursue your preferences and ideals to the fullest, the problem of sizing becomes apparent.

To meet the demands of those struggling to find suitable trousers, Isetan Men's has launched Made to Measure on the 5th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building a mecca for suits. Buyer Yosuke Kagami says, "For those who want to wear trousers in their preferred silhouette and have the freedom to order custom-made trousers, we have prepared a trial set of three pairs of trousers for under 100,000 yen (excluding tax). With the coming summer season and the introduction of Cool Biz, the appearance of trousers is extremely important in all styles. Take this opportunity to experience the level of perfection that can only be achieved with custom-made trousers, which cannot be achieved with ready-made trousers."

Are you truly satisfied with the way you wear your pants?


The reason this made-to-measure order fair came about is because we received many requests from customers who are sensitive to changes in the silhouette and details of trousers, saying things like, "Even when I wear ready-made trousers, they're not quite what I want. For example, I want trousers that are higher-waisted, looser around the waist, and have a nice silhouette." So we decided to go ahead with the idea that "with made-to-measure, we can create trousers with your preferred balance, based on the correct size."





As a fundamental principle, buyer Kagami emphasizes the importance of "fashion = size," explaining, "There are three elements that determine the silhouette: the depth of the rise, the way the pleats are placed, and how they are coordinated with suspenders. The key details are one-tuck or two-tuck, inward or outward pleats, side buckles, suspender buttons, and the length and width of the fly."

"The return to classic styles is often discussed as a trend in men's fashion, but we recommend classic trousers because classic fittings last longer and look stylish in a balanced way. And the details only become meaningful when the size is right," he continues.
