Winter: Suits with down jackets, casual wear with tailored coats.

If we're thinking about realistic men's winter styles right now, a suit with a down jacket, or a casual Chesterfield coat, are naturally considered stylish options.

This November, as part of the remodeling of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , popular brands previously located on the 7th floor (Men's Authentic) have moved to the 5th floor (Men's Tailored Clothing). This has expanded the variety of winter outerwear available. From classic styling such as suits and tailored coats to more contemporary and realistic styling such as jackets and trousers paired with down jackets, everything can be found on one floor, broadening the range of coordination ideas.

This time, we'll introduce a collection of outerwear from the men's tailored clothing floor that complements modern tailored styles. Popular classic outerwear from established brands supported by fashionistas worldwide, along with their latest models, and military and outdoor-inspired outerwear from trending brands that you can mix and match with tailored pieces are being updated one after another. Don't forget to do a final check before winter truly sets in.

1. Barbour
British-style oilcloth jackets have a strong following among both men and women.

Barbour is a brand of waterproof clothing for dockworkers, founded in 1894 in South Shields, a port town in northeastern England.
The oiled cloth developed by founder John Barbour was widely used not only by sailors and fishermen but also for horseback riding and outdoor wear, and is a classic fabric that also holds the mark of a Royal Warrant from the British Royal Family. Today, Barbour has grown into a total fashion brand that offers a collection of outerwear using various oiled cloths, as well as light clothing such as shirts and cut-and-sew garments, and sportswear.

Created in 1980 as a riding jacket, the "Bedale" is one of the brand's signature models, alongside the "Beaufort." This raglan-sleeved jacket with snap-fastened side vents is made of oiled cloth that not only repels rainwater but also prevents branches, leaves, and thorns from getting caught in the garment when riding through grassy areas or forests.

The "Transport" short blouson, originally released in the 1990s, is a hidden gem. Reissued in 2020, it's a unisex model that's popular with women as well. With its short length, wide body, dropped raglan sleeves, and wide range of sizes, it offers a modern, relaxed silhouette.


2. WOOLRICH
The old and new versions of the "Arctic Parka" designed to withstand the harsh Alaskan winter.

Founded in 1830 in Pennsylvania, USA, WOOLRICH is a trusted brand for outdoor gear and clothing worn in harsh environments, supplying clothing to the US military and Antarctic expeditions.
Among them, the "Arctic Parka," created in 1972 for pipeline construction workers in Alaska, remains a best-selling item and a signature piece of the brand. Its rugged design, stripped of unnecessary elements while prioritizing functionality, has made it a timeless classic in men's style, beloved by many fans.

The "Arctic Parka," which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, has been updated with each passing era, and the current model was released in 2012. The 60/40 (sixty-forty) cloth shell, which inherits the original design, is treated with Teflon and features contrasting colored buttons for a modern look.

The latest Arctic Parka, the "Future Arctic Parka," uses "Brewed Protein™ Fiber" for its outer shell. This new material, developed by Spiber Inc., a Japanese bio-venture company, is a structural protein material with great potential that does not use petroleum or animal products, making it a sustainable garment.

3. MooRER
A luxury down jacket crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the materials to the design.

MooRER is an original brand launched in 2006 by a factory that has been producing outerwear for high-end fashion houses.
The brand boasts a diverse lineup, primarily featuring luxury down jackets made with high-quality nylon shells and only the finest goose down. In Japan, its popularity soared a few years ago when ISETAN MEN'S commissioned a cashmere shell model, establishing its position as outerwear suitable for classic styles. High quality is maintained by insisting on original details and carrying out all processes in Italy.

The classic "Barbieri" model is an N3B-type hooded down coat. Its well-balanced length and silhouette can be adjusted with a drawstring at the waist. The raccoon fur trim on the hood adds a touch of luxury, and the simple zip and button closure makes it easy to wear and highly versatile.

The "Cliff" is a short blouson-style down jacket that catches the eye with its combination of cotton, polyester, and nylon. The sheepskin fleece on the hood and collar is detachable, transforming it into a stand-collar style when removed. Sporty details such as ribbed cuffs and inner ribbing give it an active winter look.

4. ASPESI: M-65 type field jacket worn by Milanese men over suits.

Founded in 1969, ASPESI is an Italian brand that offers a wide variety of M-65 type field jackets.
While recognized as a total brand in its home country, ISETAN MEN'S focuses specifically on its outerwear. The shell is made of a high-density polyester x nylon material. Heat treatment is applied to flatten the weave of the fabric, enhancing wind resistance and creating a moderately shrunk texture that gives it a worn-in feel. The padding uses "Thermore," a high-performance insulation with excellent heat retention, making it a favorite outerwear choice for Milanese people, as it is resistant to rain, snow, and wind.

The waist can be tightened with a drawstring, and the Thermore lining ensures excellent warmth. The hood can be stored in the stand collar.

This versatile balmacaan coat, suitable for business wear, uses the same material as the M-65. The relaxed A-line silhouette is on-trend, and the sophisticated color achieved through garment dyeing is superb. The Thermore quilted lining is removable, making it suitable for three seasons.

5. DUNO / Duno: This up-and-coming Italian outerwear has just the right amount of gear-like feel, perfect for urban winters.

Ten years have passed since the brand's inception, and Duno is gradually gaining recognition.
The brand brings together directors with diverse backgrounds in textiles, tailoring, and high-end brands to create globally contemporary outerwear. Their flagship down jackets, in particular, pursue urban and elegant designs. Featuring a predominantly monochrome palette and incorporating functionality into materials and details, they offer modern activewear at an attractive, affordable price point, making them a desirable entry-level brand for Italian outerwear.

The "Palm" short-length down jacket, featuring a body and sleeves in the same color but made of different materials, is a staple model that has been in the brand's lineup since its inception. The wool on the front is water-repellent. It is functional down to the smallest detail, with an inner zippered pocket and a key strap inside the left pocket.

Based on the "Palm," the "Kilo" is an updated version with enhanced functionality and design, featuring an iconic front ventilation zipper. While shorter in length than the "Palm," the back hem is longer and rounded. The water-repellent shell material boasts the same level of water resistance as serious outdoor wear.
