Pay attention to ROWING BLAZER, a blazer brand from New York that truly embodies the spirit of learning from the past while embracing the new.

Rowing Blazers, a New York brand helmed by an elite Oxford University graduate, former US national regatta player, and Doctor of Archaeology, has just opened on the 7th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building in the Men's Contemporary section. The brand focuses on the blazer, a symbol of American traditional style that is once again attracting attention.

The blazer, a comfortable piece of sportswear, has been reimagined in a modern way.

Jack Carlson, who studied archaeology at Oxford University, one of Britain's most prestigious universities, also became engrossed in rowing regattas. While becoming familiar with the blazer, the uniform of rowers, his inquisitive nature led him to unravel its history through an archaeological approach, culminating in the publication of the visual book "ROWING BLAZER" in 2014. He is truly a leading expert on blazers.

Driven by a desire to restore the blazer, which had changed over time, to its original and correct form, he conducted further research and finally launched this rowing blazer in 2017. Rowing refers to the sport of boating. In other words, it's a blazer brand that is faithful to the original, based on the racing uniform worn by boatmen in the mid-19th century.


Being faithful to the original doesn't mean it's outdated. While the patterns, manufacturing methods, and details are perfectly traditional and authentic, the brand incorporates fresh and fashionable arrangements in materials, silhouettes, designs, and functionality, pioneering a new frontier of contemporary trad. Furthermore, by developing a wide range of coordinating items that share the same worldview, while focusing on blazers, the brand adds even more depth to its unique style.

At ISETAN MEN'S , Rowing Blazers has selected a variety of blazers, including the classic three-button style, jersey material featuring embroidered images of traditional Scottish bagpipers, and corduroy material in eye-catching vibrant colors such as salmon pink and purple. They also showcase a wide range of items that allow for total coordination, such as rugby shirts, Tilden sweaters, and caps, making it the perfect place to learn about the brand's appeal and latest offerings.
