Masanori Mizota
 Shinjuku Men's Department, Men's Tailored Clothing Buyer
Joined Mitsukoshi Isetan Co., Ltd. in 2018. After joining the company, I was in charge of selling shirts and ties in the men's department, and then transferred to the women's department. After working in sales and as an assistant buyer, I became an assistant buyer for men's dress clothing, and currently I am a buyer for men's tailored clothing (shirts and ties), proposing styles that are more personal and express the individuality of the customer.

Buyer Mizota's focus: "Items that develop their own unique character over time."

When choosing suits, which is my area of expertise, I make sure to order durable fabrics for both the spring/summer and autumn/winter seasons. For spring/summer, I use DORMEUIL's Tonik fabric, and for autumn/winter, I use FOX BROTHERS' CLASSIC FLANNEL fabric. Even if the fabric is a little pricey, I can't resist the feeling of nurturing it, as it develops a more personalized character over time. When I shop, I always consider whether the garment is timeless and something I can continue to wear for another 10 years.

"Made-to-Measure" Bespoke Suits

This suit is a memorable piece because it was the first made-to-measure suit I ever had made at the Men's Tailored Clothing section on the 5th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .
From the time of purchase, I preferred a tough fabric that wouldn't lose its shape even after many wears, so I consulted with a skilled stylist at the store and chose VBC's COVERT CLOTH. Not only was the finished product beautifully tailored, but the more I wore it, the more I was captivated by its durability and wrinkle-resistant properties, and I still wear it frequently. In addition to the fabric, one of the features of the made-to-measure section of men's tailored clothing is that they can accommodate detailed alterations, so I had the neckline adjusted to be a little looser, making it a suit that I truly cherish.
