[Autumn/Winter 2024] Men's Department staff explain how to style and wear the must-have leather outerwear.

Leather outerwear, which instantly creates a powerful and impactful look when simply thrown on, is an item that many men aspire to own. In recent years, milder winters have extended the period in which it can be worn, further increasing demand and leading to a wider variety of models being available. In response to this popularity of leather outerwear, the men's department has also expanded the number of brands and variations available.

This article introduces this season's must-have leather outerwear, from classic styles to new brands. Our staff, experts in adult fashion, demonstrate how to wear the outerwear and explain key styling points.

1. EMMETEI Single-Breasted Rider's Jacket "JURI"

EMMETI jacket ¥159,500 □Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

The "JURI" is a classic leather outerwear piece from EMMETI . Its simple design and the smooth texture of the fine lambskin leather create an elegant atmosphere. The "VERDE" color, which is being offered for the first time at the men's department this season, features green leather and gunmetal zippers that create an exceptionally stylish look.

 

 

"Adding green leather instantly elevates your outfit, giving it a stylish touch."

PT TORINO trousers ¥56,100 □Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

【STYLING POINT】

This piece, a signature item from EMMETI , is likely owned by many in its classic black color, but this green color alone allows for a stylish and unique look. To highlight the elegance of the smooth lambskin leather, it's paired with a cotton cut-and-sew top blended with silk as an inner layer. Rather than a thick wool inner layer, a sleek cut-and-sew top or a thin knit works better to showcase the slim silhouette of this "JURI" piece.

A 23-year-old who joined the company this year, he's a promising young staff member in the men's tailored clothing department on the 5th floor of the men's department. He can wear everything from classic dress suit styles with ties to modern tailored mix styles that add a playful touch with sizing and innerwear, all with his own unique sensibility.

2. ARMA single jacket "KALE"

ARMA Jacket ¥115,500 □Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

 

ARMA , a Dutch leather brand that launched in the men's department last season, is known for its luxurious use of goatskin leather and production in Turkey, the mecca of leather factories, yet its price is in the low 100,000 yen range, making it incredibly cost-effective. The stylish white-beige color scheme makes it a great choice for those looking to add a piece to their wardrobe after acquiring basic outerwear in black or navy.

 

"A stylish beige outer garment is perfect for creating a fashionable look."

cantate pants ¥40,700 □Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

【STYLING POINT】

A stylish white-beige leather outer layer is easier to coordinate fashionably than basic colors like black or navy. A brown knit sweater is worn underneath, complementing the white-beige outer layer and adding an autumnal touch. The denim pants are also given a dressier touch with deliberately added creases, resulting in a stylish and polished look.

3. CINQUANTA Shearling Rider's Jacket

Cinquanta Jacket ¥297,000 □ Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

Founded in 1973, Cinquanta is a leather factory brand with a workshop in Empoli, a suburb of Florence. This piece is an outer garment made of sheepskin and horsehide leather, based on the US military B-3 flight jacket. While it has a masculine, voluminous, and substantial presence, the silhouette has been adjusted to be slightly slimmer, resulting in a more modern and wearable size.

 

 

"Pair a shearling jacket with military pants for a rugged look."

【STYLING POINT】

A shearling jacket with volume around the collar and shoulders gives a masculine look, and it suits a style that takes advantage of its rugged impression. For trousers, military-style ones are recommended rather than formal slacks. Fumiya Hirano The Trousers' "Davis" trousers are based on British military trousers but made with dress trouser tailoring, so they have an elegant yet rugged feel and are a perfect match for a shearling jacket like this.

4. ALTACRUNA Single Shearling Jacket

Alta Cruna Jacket ¥396,000 □ Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

 

Altacruna was founded in 2020 in Vicenza, northern Italy, by a long-established factory that has been producing leather wear for luxury brands for many years. Its appeal lies in its high-quality construction, which improves upon the points that are said to be difficult to achieve with shearling outerwear, such as the smoothness of the surface, the light and relaxed fit, and the smart and modern silhouette.

 

"City-style shearling coats create a smart and sophisticated look."

ROTA Pants ¥99,000 □Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

 

【STYLING POINT】

Among shearling outerwear, Altacruna stands out for its exceptionally clean construction, incorporating Italian sartorial tailoring techniques. Its reduced volume allows for a modern look, and pairing it with similarly colored innerwear creates a sophisticated, urban impression. The elegant drape of the white-beige wool trousers further enhances the refined feel of the top.

5. cinqnoir/Cinqnoir Stand Collar Blouson

Cinq Noir Jacket ¥242,000 □ Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

This garment is made from "Entolfino leather," sourced from sheep that inhabit the Pyrenees Mountains. It boasts exceptional drape, wrinkle recovery, and stretchability, resulting in a lightweight and comfortable fit. Featuring raglan sleeves and a relaxed silhouette, it offers a masculine look while maintaining a modern, relaxed feel.

 

-Brand Story-

This Japanese leather brand, launched in the Autumn/Winter 2024 season, is the work of designer Kazuhisa Komura, who has built his career with domestic collection brands. Using lambskin leather, the brand is finished with chrome tanning by COLOMER, a long-established Spanish tannery founded in 1792, and produced by a long-established Japanese sewing factory. The brand offers leather outerwear that exudes an elegant aura through the use of high-quality materials and tailoring.

"Even a tough leather outer garment should be paired with a clean look."

AMBROSI trousers ¥181,500 □Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

【STYLING POINT】

To highlight the fine, lustrous texture of the lambskin leather, I've paired it with a slightly lighter-toned blue knit. Shiny black leather can sometimes give off a masculine, tough impression. The key is to create a clean look by using a lighter inner layer or styling it with dressy, draped trousers.

6. cinqnoir/Cinqnoir Rizzler Jacket

Cinq Noir Jacket ¥286,000 □ Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

This drizzler jacket is made from drum-dyed nubuck leather from "Entolfino." Smooth leather accents on the zipper, sleeves, hem, and side pockets add a touch of sophistication. The jacket strikes a perfect balance between the understated elegance of the nubuck and the accents of the smooth leather.

"For matte nubuck, I deliberately chose a glossy inner lining."

ROTA Pants ¥88,000 □Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building, 5th Floor, Men's Tailored Clothing

【STYLING POINT】

Nubuck outerwear, with its matte finish that absorbs light, is often paired with a brushed, understated wool knit to match its texture. However, by combining it with a lustrous cashmere-silk knit like this, a touch of glamour is deliberately added.

She's wearing gray slacks with a slight bluish tint, creating an elegant blue-based outfit, but she's added a touch of accent with a glossy inner layer to prevent it from looking too polished.
