Inspiration

The corduroy fabrics we have developed so far have been "9 wale", which has a narrower vertical line, but this time we used "8 wale", which has a slightly thicker vertical line.

Corduroy itself was used in the fall/winter of 2022, and was my personal favorite because it is very easy to use and you don't have to worry about wrinkles, but I think there were many lady-like pieces last year.

This season, when I met the "8wale" material, I got a more robust impression and thought, "I want to make a men's set-up! I thought, "I want to make a men's set-up!
Therefore, the first image sketches I drew were also for men's wear.

I was very particular about this.

The three important points I focused on were "the angle of the collar," "large cuffs," and "pockets that can hold a lot of things.

The collar is neither too large nor too small, and I imagined that it would look good with the first button undone.

The cuffs have two buttons with the ERIKO YAMAGUCHI logo, and the antique-length button corduroy was a perfect match.

The most difficult part was the pockets.
Corduroy is a strong fabric, so even if the pockets are large, the fabric doesn't lose its shape.

So I decided that I would like to go out without a bag and put my wallet and cell phone all in my pockets (even though I am a bag designer ・・・・), so I made the longer jackets with 4 cm gusseted pockets.

It's already really convenient, and the flap allows me to put it in my pockets (laughs).
