[Feature] Flannel, tweed, corduroy. Order a unique garment made to order using carefully selected autumn/winter materials.



This autumn, Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building is focusing on three key materials: flannel, tweed, and corduroy. Moreover, these are all carefully selected fabrics imported from the UK. These fabrics, with their exquisite weave, feel, and rich colors and patterns, can be ordered as a custom-made garment at the Made to Measure service on the 5th floor of Isetan Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

True clothing enthusiasts appreciate fabrics. They care not only about the color and pattern, but also the texture of the fabric. For such discerning customers Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 5th floor, offers a selection of exquisite fabrics carefully sourced by buyers from around the world. This season, in particular, they have prepared three exceptional seasonal fabrics. These are standard autumn/winter fabrics, but they are all highly refined and unlike anything you'd find in ready-made suits. With the motto "For those who want to enjoy suits more," you can have a suit tailored to your liking by your preferred tailor.

For autumn and winter, the classic flannel is Pinhead from Hardy Minnis. Hardy Minnis is a fabric manufacturer with a Royal Warrant from the British Royal Family and a long-established merchant in Huddersfield, the mecca of British textiles. Unlike the supple and light Italian fabrics, British fabrics are characterized by their heavy feel, woven with tightly packed threads. This flannel also boasts the firmness and resilience characteristic of British fabrics, known for their "tight weave." As a result, it is highly durable, and when made into a suit, it will not stretch out at the elbows or knees and will maintain its shape well.

Tweed, a highly popular British fabric, has traditionally been woven in limited areas such as Scotland and parts of Ireland. The use of thick wool fibers results in a heavy and distinctive weave. ISETAN MEN'S has therefore sourced tweed fabric from Maggie, a long-established company in the Donegal region of Ireland. Furthermore, the traditional British glen check pattern has been reimagined on a modern, large scale, giving it a contemporary feel. While similar patterns may exist, the authentic style and character of this fabric simply cannot be imitated.

The wide-wale corduroy is "Eskdale" from Hardy Minnis. Corduroy is traditionally considered a workwear fabric and often has a somewhat unfashionable image, but this one has a lustrous sheen like velvet. Moreover, the fabric has a high thread density, making it firm and strong, yet the long pile is incredibly smooth to the touch. When made into a suit, the fabric drapes elegantly with its wales.

Even those who are particular about fabric and tailoring will surely find a garment they'll be satisfied with. At ISETAN MEN'S , you're sure to find something that makes you feel like you're having fun dressing.
