A distinctive vintage Japanese set-up with quiet presence.
The fine check pattern and elongated jacket create an intellectual, understated mood — something that subtly recalls Sherlock Holmes. A piece to enjoy as an extension of classic tailoring, with a longline silhouette and relaxed trousers that speak not through flash, but through the calm dignity of old Japanese craftsmanship.

The fabric tag reads NIKKE and ALL WOOL.
NIKKE is the common name for Nippon Keori Kaisha, Ltd., one of Japan’s most historic wool manufacturers, founded in 1896. The ALL WOOL marking is a classic quality designation often seen in vintage menswear cloth, indicating a wool-based fabric with traditional appeal.

This piece was tailored within a family lineage connected to Kobe’s tailoring culture.
It comes from the legacy of a menswear atelier once run by the seller’s great-grandfather, and was worn for many years by her grandfather, a Japanese scientist known for first identifying cyclodextrin.

Mid–late 20th century Japanese tailoring (1960s–1980s), from the family archive of a Kobe-based tailor. Exact year unknown.
