「A uniform for people who have no time to worry about their style」

Good evening. I’m cantáte Matsushima.

The time spent choosing clothes is both the greatest luxury and the greatest waste.

When did I begin to feel this way?

Every day is hectic, and plans overlap,

Before I knew it, even the time spent pausing in front of the mirror felt precious.

Even so, as long as I stand before people, I want to look polished at every moment.

Born from that idea, this Directors Jacket.

”Ca/Li Double Cloth Directors Jacket"

COL: NOIR

SIZE: 44, 46, 48

￥550,000- TAX IN

A uniform for busy adults

Film directors, stage directors, team leaders.

Adults who are in positions to guide and support others.

They are always on the move, with countless things to think about.

That is why I thought we needed “clothing that means you don’t have to think about your clothes.”

it falls into place just by throwing it on, without making you look tense.

Neither “workwear” nor “dresswear,”

A natural garment between those two.

That is the ideal for this jacket.

・Double cloth with cashmere on the surface and linen on the reverse

Matte fabric and buffalo horn buttons.

An indescribably sensual contrast, like stillness and movement.

Understated, yet impossible to look away from.

 

Cashmere and linen double-woven twill

The fabric is a special double-woven twill made by interweaving cashmere and linen.

The fabric combines softness and structure—contradictory elements that coexist.

and the rich, slippery feel of cashmere

The dry texture of linen brings out its qualities,

A light, airy fullness is created.

What you feel the moment you put it on is “lighthearted confidence.”

The material itself gently straightens the wearer’s posture.

・The inside shoulder seam is finished by hand basting

The slight “play” unique to hand sewingIt settles in comfortably, without restriction, like an action pleat.

 

・Hand-basted armhole finish

Rather than simply sewing it, the 1 cm seam allowance is cut down to about 7 mm and covered with the soft lining.

The lining is also carefully secured with star stitching so it does not sag.

 

The more hidden the part, the more sincere the craftsmanship

The lining uses cotton × rayon,

cotton × silk is used for the sleeve lining.

 

After carefully considering the moisture absorption and hand feel of each fiber,

so that you can feel the quality of the inside every time you put it on or take it off.

 

Furthermore, the seam allowances are piped and the facings,

Every detail, down to the angles and thread thickness, has been thoroughly adjusted.

The more hidden the place, the more beautiful it should be.

・A gentle broad-bean-shaped armhole

 

・Piping narrowed as much as possible without any waviness

 

・The finishing of the cut edge of the collar cloth on the underside of the collar, at the chin

beautiful enough to make you gasp.

 

What matters in clothing is,

I always think that what matters in clothing is the integrity on the inside, rather than the appearance.

・Hand-gathered sleeve crowns

 

 

Hand-gathered sleeves

The shoulder joint features “gathers” made by an artisan’s fingertips.

but a distance of only a few centimeters is gathered by feel.

It could also be sewn evenly by machine,

otherwise the shoulder’s roundness would not become a “living line.”

and gathered by hand,

The excess fabric is allowed to fall naturally,

The flow from the shoulder to the arm connects smoothly.

it is almost impossible to see from the outside.

Yet the moment you put on the sleeves,

The intangible persuasiveness of “a good fit”is born.

That is,A subtle fullness that only human hands can createare.

・Unfinished cuffs

There are fine gathers at the sleeve crown. That is why we leave the cuffs unfinished.

the persuasiveness brought by “serious craftsmanship”

This jacket,

It looks polished despite being casual.

it looks stylish even when you let your guard down.

It is not a coincidence,

Because the seriousness of its craftsmanship, present in everything from the materials and sewing to the design, makes it look that way.

it is in the parts clothing does not speak about that true intention resides.

 

Before thinking about tomorrow’s plans,

Just throw this on.

I feel like, just by doing that, my thoughts become a little more organized.

Even amid the busyness,

A uniform for those who never lose their elegance or integrity.

that is, the Ca/Li Directors Jacket.

In fact, the people who picked up this jacket were

Film directors, advertising directors, architects, stage directors, designers, and more.

They were all people who truly “make things happen on the ground.”

Amazingly, this clothing chose their “professions.”

they surely know.

Rather than flashy appearance,how much a reliable garment can support your daily work.

Before thinking about tomorrow’s plans,

Just throw this on.

I feel like, just by doing that, my thoughts become a little more organized.
