A royal combination of a blazer and chinos. I wanted to express this in "AOR".
What kind of item is the navy blazer? Is it the same silhouette as a suit jacket?

Bow shaving: No , there is a difference. The blazer is a little wider than the blazer. This wider lapel is also fresher.
Kaneko: It's very wide, isn't it? It's a size 3.
Do you mean the largest size?
Kaneko: No, it is the smallest one. We make them in sizes up to 5.
It's so big (laughs). What details are you particular about?
Kaneko: This is also a reference to the royal blazer of a certain traditional brand. The pockets are patch-and-flap , and the buttons are gold buttons. The cuffs are three-buttoned, with the main cutout.
Bow shaving: The gold button is stamped with the family crest of the Yuge family (laughs). (Laughs) This is something I have been using since I was working for Yuge, and I like the fact that it is an ivy design, so it links in with IVY.
Kaneko: The lapel dares to eliminate the stitching and follows the specifications of the original.
Bow shaving: . I wanted to omit the stitching as much as possible. Blazers are sporty items, and I wanted to create an elegant mood in the smallest details.
Kaneko: This is a wool serge. The twill of the fabric has a firm, slightly stiff impression. For a normal navy blue blazer, I would use a softer fabric, but this one has a distinctive form, so I made it with a stronger material to emphasize the silhouette. However, it is very lightweight when worn.
Bow shaving: This one is also very nice. The form is properly and nicely presented.
Kaneko: . I was also very particular about the way the shoulder pads were put in. We also put cotton from the sleeve back to the sleeves, so that even when the garment is worn large, the shape of the shoulders will still be beautiful.

Kaneko: And the chinos I made to go with this blazer. The silhouette of these chinos is the same as that of suit slacks. The slacks are two-tucked, but the chinos are untucked, which gives the impression of being a little more relaxed around the waist.
Bow shaving: . it's so stylish when paired with a blazer.
Kaneko: This is what I wanted to express with "AOR. I think even old men can wear it easily. I think girls can wear it too.
Bow shaving: This blazer also has a 70's vibe, doesn't it? It looks like something from the early days of Ralph Lauren. It has the look of Robert Redford's version of "The Great Gatsby.
Kaneko: Yes, it looks like it could have been in that era.
