T.T / Taiga Takahashi Established in New York, the namesake brand Taiga Takahashi launched its Autumn/Winter 2021 collection under the philosophy of "reviving the relics of the past in the present, to excavate the archaeological artifacts of the future," creating menswear-focused collections under the label T.T. Browsing through the collections, one can feel Takahashi's deep fascination with American and European garments from the early 1900s. Driven by the belief that "the future is in the past," he presents garments where the modern and the future coexist by utilizing traditional Japanese techniques that are gradually disappearing.
A defining feature of 1930s denim jackets was the addition of flaps to patch pockets, which would have represented a significant improvement in quality during an era of material scarcity. The stitches securing the front pleats were also reinforced, increasing the garment’s overall completeness as workwear, and the single-pocket design reached its finalized form.
The cotton satin weave employs coarse-count yarns on the reverse side—normally not exposed—to enhance durability. In 1950s military garments, this reverse-face construction was often used to create products with increased strength and resistance to abrasion. The inherent irregularity of the yarns, left unstandardized as they were originally intended for the inside, adds to the fabric’s distinctive character.
Custom-engraved buttons and back hardware are made of iron. Finished with a smoked-style plating, they evoke the passage of time through their subdued, aged appearance.
