Japan’s obsession for American culture stems from the years just after WWII, but the nation continues to perfect its take on all things Western well into 2015. Case in point is the country’s insatiable appetite for classic American style, which is evident in the collections being churned out by brands like Deluxe and Masafumi Watanabe’s BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS. This season, the Fall/Winter 2015 offerings from both labels continue to channel timeless Western style from a distinctly Japanese perspective, resulting in clothing that is as modern as it is versatile. In an editorial titled Risshuu, meaning ‘the coming of Autumn’, we showcase highlights from the seasonal range include Dickies pants, coach jackets, crewnecks and button-down oxfords from BEDWIN, as well as football-style jerseys, selvedge denim jeans and chinos from Deluxe. Take a look at the latest from two of our favorite Americana-inspired Japanese brands above, and find their Fall/Winter 2015 collections now from HBX.
