When asked, "Is there anyone you admire in terms of fashion, Mr. Tsubouchi?", he answered almost immediately, "Mr. Kazuhiko Kato (music producer)." He continued, "I've always thought Mr. Kato was amazing because he could pull off anything so quickly, ever since the days of The Folk Crusaders, and I've always been interested in his style."
We asked Mr. Tsubouchi, a modern-day well-dressed individual, to try on some items that caught his eye in the business clothing section on the 5th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

Tsubouchi's style: Making patterned items his own.

On the 5th floor, Mr. Tsubouchi took a leisurely stroll through the business clothing section and the first thing he picked up was a checked and windowpane jacket from TAGLIATORE . "I like patterned clothes, so I wanted to try it on, and it's really comfortable. When I find something I like, I want to buy all three pieces," he said.


A while ago, I used to wear a lot of classic brands, but the jackets from TAGLIATORE and LARDINI today are lighter, softer, and clearly show the evolution of tailoring. When I try them on like this, I can see why they're so popular.

Italian brands like TAGLIATORE , which claim to "look elegant just by wearing them normally," are great for people who want to borrow a touch of allure or strength; they'll be a real ally. The construction itself is simple, but the fabric and subtle design details create a unique mood that you won't find anywhere else, which I think is really clever.
