A twist on the classic British style of stripes and paisley.

---

Last time, Mr. Ikeuchi appeared wearing a navy suit tailored at a tailor he's been going to since his student days. This time, he's showcasing a suit tailored at La Scala by Nobuhito Yamaguchi, a resident tailor at ISETAN MEN'S . It seems he really does like suits with this kind of originality.

This suit, with its double stitching on the lapel edge giving it a blazer-like feel and its scattered classic details, is La Scala's house style. The fitted waist silhouette and long jacket length, along with the deliberately long sleeves, create a vertical line that suits Mr. Ikeuchi's slender and tall stature.


His V-zone makeup consists of a London stripe shirt and a paisley tie, and if you realize that both London and Paisley are names of British cities, you'll see that this is a classic British gentleman's style. He has truly made this outfit, reminiscent of a dapper gentleman from Jermyn Street, his own.

What's more, adding a different color to just the pocket square is stylish. If you want to look traditional but with one unexpected twist, the possibilities with a pocket square are endless. To be able to pull this off so effortlessly must require considerable practice. He told me that he's been used to wearing custom-made suits since his student days when everyone around him was into street fashion. He laughed, saying that he's only recently learned to enjoy American casual style on his days off.
