A Tailored Tour Of Tokyo

This fast-paced centre of culture and commerce is becoming the new capital of custom-made menswear and bespoke shoes.

- David Coggins

The Japanese are known for their dedication to exceptional artisanship and design. This commitment is evident in the national penchant for meticulously studying a craft – such as distilling whisky or weaving denim – and adapting its principles to the distinctive aesthetic of Japanese culture.

Today, this mastery extends to tailored clothing and shoes as well. Long a destination for high fashion, Tokyo hosts a budding number of tailors and shoemakers who are refining lessons learned abroad and returning home to produce exceptional menswear. Here are three ateliers you’ll want to visit on your next trip.
