D by D*Syoukei is a brand characterized by its relaxed and luxurious jacket styles made from knit materials. Despite being a jacket, it offers the comfort of a light cardigan, attracting many fans among both men and women.

D by D*Syoukei will be holding a special order event for two days only, on October 30th (Sat) and 31st (Sun), at the Authentic Clothing section on the 2nd floor of the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store. In addition to pattern orders, ready-made items will also be available, and Shokei Doi himself will be visiting during the event, making it a valuable two days to experience the brand's charm, including conversations with Mr. Doi.


D by D*Syoukei holds order events several times a year, with Mr. Doi himself visiting Mitsukoshi and Isetan stores. Whenever an event is held, many customers visit Mr. Doi in search of the "high-quality adult casual style" that he proposes.

Mr. Doi, himself a fan of knit outerwear, creates knit jackets with the desire to "create a jacket with a gentle feel, a carefully calculated silhouette that wraps around the body like a tailored jacket!"


Traditional knit jackets are often based on the sewing specifications of suit jackets, with only the material being replaced by knit. These jackets typically have lining in the front, back, and sleeves, and the seams are finished with piping. Even if the outer fabric is a stretchy knit, the lining prevents the sleeves and body from stretching, and the piping keeps the seams fixed.

In contrast, the basic design of this brand's products is based on jacket designs that offer the comfort of knit outerwear, utilizing tailored pattern design techniques in cutting and sewing specifications. Therefore, they are based on a single-layer construction without lining or interlining in the body, and all specifications are designed to not impair the elasticity of the knit. In this way, they achieve a silhouette, fit, and soft impression that makes the most of the texture of the knit material. While retaining the neatness of a jacket, it has the lightness of a cardigan, a design that has been meticulously calculated by Mr. Doi.


The brand has many female fans. Its popularity among women is likely due to its product concept and features being gender-neutral and perfectly matching current trends.

Made from soft wool materials such as knitwear and cut-and-sew fabrics, and with a construction that isn't too stiff, this knit jacket gives a gentle impression and is well-suited for business settings, where workplaces and work styles are becoming increasingly diverse, and is popular with both men and women. It's an item you'll want to keep in your closet or at the office, especially for sudden remote meetings and the rise of business casual attire.
