A Japanese vintage suit in a chocolate-brown micro herringbone, overlaid with a subtle pinstripe — quiet, refined, and beautifully textured.

Tailored under a lineage connected to a Kobe-based Japanese atelier — once operated by the seller’s great-grandfather, and worn for decades by her grandfather, a renowned Japanese scientist who first identified dextrin, a compound now used in dental care worldwide.
This piece carries not just tailoring heritage, but the legacy of a family dedicated to invisible excellence — in science, in craftsmanship, and in the quiet dignity of how one chooses to live.

This piece comes from a family archive connected to the Kobe tailoring lineage of Ikeda Tailor Shop (Kobe, Japan), and was tailored under the seller’s great-grandfather’s atelier.
Estimated era: 1960s–1980s / Made in Japan.

Fabric / Selvedge markings

The fabric selvedge reads: “BARDON GOLD / ALL WOOL / A.K. DELUXE.”
• ALL WOOL indicates 100% wool as written on the selvedge (listed as marked).
• BARDON GOLD appears as a cloth name / line designation, with “GOLD” suggesting a higher-tier range.
• A.K. DELUXE reads more like a trade/atelier grading or internal designation rather than a fashion brand name — a marking that points to the quality/ranking of the cloth itself.
Note: The above is transcribed directly from the selvedge; the mill/trademark is not independently verified.
