This winter as well, I asked Takeshi Ohfuchi of Post O’Alls to create a shirt jacket.

The silhouette is the same as last year’s, but the fabric patterns have been changed from hickory stripes to a block check. You don’t see this style very often these days, but it has a flannel outer, a quilted lining, and hand-warmer pockets. Personally, this is the definition of American workwear.

The overalls are based off a design originally released by Post O’Alls in 1993, modified into canvas material. The year 1993 is very significant for additional reasons, as it was the year Post O’Alls was founded, the year the hickory stripe that served as the basis for the first shirt jacket was introduced, and the year these overalls were originally released. I believe I first met Mr. Ohfuchi in New York a little while after that.

Back then, oversized overalls were popular, and my impression was that only people who were really into them were wearing them in extra baggy sizes. The style was influenced by how American workwear was worn in the 1990s, so we had these overalls made with the original sizing of that era. Surprisingly, the fit feels just right by today’s standards.

We also went with the classic label on the back pocket of the overalls. We also added the label that was used on garments back in 1993 to the chest.

When trying to capture the feel of American workwear from that era, I inevitably find myself relying on Post O'Alls and Takeshi Ohfuchi.
