Vintage Japanese wool-mohair blend slacks tailored in the Showa era, bearing the woven tag “LUXE WOOL AND MOHAIR.”
“LUXE WOOL” suggests a higher-grade pure new wool cloth, used for more refined tailoring lines of the period. Blended with mohair from the Angora goat, the fabric offers the subtle sheen, durability, and breathability that made wool-mohair cloth especially valued for warm-weather tailoring.
This type of mohair-blend fabric was well suited to summer suiting, with the crispness and graceful drape often associated with higher-quality Japanese tailoring cloth of the era. Quiet in tone, but elegant in movement.
Tailored under a lineage connected to a Kobe-based Japanese atelier once supported by the seller’s family — a quiet legacy woven into every seam.
Once operated by the seller’s great-grandfather, this atelier dressed her grandfather, a renowned Japanese scientist who first identified dextrin, a compound now used in dental care worldwide.
Though science and tailoring belong to different worlds, both were shaped by the same devotion to invisible precision.
That same quiet pride lives in this pair of slacks.
