Hello to everyone reading this blog. This is Kiriyama from Tokyu Plaza Ginza.
In this blog, I'd like to introduce the wool serge series, a classic item offered by Nigel Cabourn WOMAN. The patterns are carefully designed with a detailed understanding of the female body, resulting in items that can be worn as part of a set or worn on their own.

The fabric used is wool serge, which is probably easier to imagine when thinking of school uniform fabric. It's a classy fabric that's relatively wrinkle-resistant, making it a material that can be used for many seasons. Wool is something we wear every day, but it has moisture absorption and release properties that are about twice as good as cotton. It's easy to see why it's used in school uniforms that are worn every day.

First up, we'll introduce jackets, a specialty of Nigel Cabourn WOMAN.
GENTLEMANS DB JACKET
Item No. 80510880006
Colour. Greige / Charcoal Grey
Height: 162cm / Wearing Size: 8
This double-breasted jacket has eight buttons. When you hear the word "double-breasted," you probably imagine something boxy and heavy.
Nigel Cabourn WOMAN's double-breasted jacket has a high curve at the front hem, creating a clean, beautiful figure-eight line. The button size and spacing are just right, making it a double-breasted jacket that doesn't feel heavy.
Naturally, it's not just the front that's been considered, but also how it looks from the side and back.
The hem slopes downward in the front, so it doesn't feel heavy when viewed from behind either. It goes well with both pants and skirts, and is suitable for all heights. It's a jacket that really hits the spot.
As for choosing the size, if you go up a size for more room, it will end up looking more boxy, so I personally recommend getting the shoulders just right.

Next, we'll introduce the skirt and pants that we made as a set.
GENTLEMANS SKIRT
Item No. 80510852010
Colour. Greige / Charcoal Grey
Height: 162cm / Wearing Size: 8
If you think about it, skirt patterns are limited because they're simple.
This skirt has an intricate pattern and a silhouette that's quite unique. To be honest, I wasn't really impressed at the exhibition a year ago, but I'm slowly becoming intrigued by the excellence of the pattern (lol).
There are deep double tucks on both the front and back. Because there is a generous amount of fabric used, it looks like it will flare out towards the hem.
In fact, the hem has been tucked so that it falls straight. This detail is key. It has a relaxed, straight silhouette. It's kind of like a hakama, which is fresh.

GENTLEMANS PANT
Item No. 80510850010
Colour. Greige / Charcoal Grey
Height: 162cm / Wearing Size: 8
These pants were an item that all the staff at the exhibition gave their stamp of approval to.
The thighs and hem are quite wide. However, the hips are slim, giving them a beautiful silhouette that doesn't look sloppy.
The drape is simply beautiful. With pants that make the most of this drape, the fabric is the most important thing. Wrinkle-resistant wool serge creates a very elegant drape.

And these gentleman's pants are available in special order colours!
Release date: Saturday, November 1, 2025
The black colour will be available exclusively at Tokyu Plaza Ginza and Lucua Osaka!
The black colour will go on sale on Saturday, November 1, 2025! It's available in-store, as well as online via phone or LINE. Even if you live far away, don't miss out.
I think black is a colour that will appeal to people who usually wear more fashionable clothes.

I feel like there are fewer items designed to be worn in a traditional way every year. I think that's just how much our lifestyles have changed since the past.
Personally, I'd like people to try incorporating it into their everyday lives. It's a casual take on traditional styles, so I think it's cool without looking sloppy.
