Description
Trophy Clothing is a brand you should know about. Founded in 2006 by Mr. Masaki Egawa, it's a label that focuses on sartorial deep cuts — textiles, construction methods, and details that fly over the heads or under the radar of the average consumer. While many of Japan's other famous denim brands focus on strict reproductions of mainstream styles from the last century, Trophy Clothing instead focuses on capturing garments that don't exist anywhere else, borrowing silhouettes and embellishments from small, obscure, and now-extinct denim & workwear manufacturers from years past.
The designs are deeply inspired by vintage motorcycle apparel and casualwear from the last few decades rather than strictly workwear, and fit more easily into a modern wardrobe without looking too old-timey or like a costume. These are not mass-produced styles, with garments that frequently employ challenging tailoring details that contemporary brands might think of as "outdated" or "inefficient." Every style makes use of custom fabrics, trims, and antique machines to create a product that is wholly-superior to mainstream apparel, regardless of effort or time taken.
The Summer Flight Jacket is an excellent casual jacket with details borrowed from Mechanic's jackets, specifically, the airplane mechanics working on aircraft carriers in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. Made from a lightweight khaki west point cloth, Trophy's version was an immediate hit for us, featuring an old-school cropped body with a relaxed fit, a half belt and bi-swing back, and its understated round collar.
The body is unlined, and made from a finely-woven 100% cotton twill that will only get better and better over time as it wears in and fades. Lightweight and comfortable even in warmer weather, it's been washed to remove any initial shrinkage and to help relax the fabric into a perfectly-ready-to-wear state before you ever put it on.
The trims are worth mentioning as well: tonal buttons at each pocket, a zip placket with a woven pull tab, and underarm gussets for extra ease of movement — the final and important touches on a fantastic jacket that will only get better with time.
Fits true to size. Wash cold and hang dry.
