Blazer by Kazuyuki Kumagai Attachment for sale here. The Kazuyuki Kumagai line, not to be confused with the Attachment label itself, is the collection line for Attachment. It’s basically their higher-end products, the stuff the designer puts his name on and what you see in the lookbooks and that sort of thing. The Kazuyuki Kumagai label differentiates itself with an emphasis on technical detailing, both in the selection of textiles and in the fit. Materials are often high quality knits, and detailing is highly articulated.
This blazer is no exception and a really good example of what the KKA label can do. The shape is inspired by the traditional blazer, but there are a fair number of tweaks. First the fabric. There are some really interesting and high quality materials used here, where the exterior is a 51% wool, 44% nylon, 5% polyurethane blend. The wool and nylon together give the jacket considerable texture, while the polyurethane gives it a nice stretch to ensure maximum comfort. Nylon is a resilient fabric, one that resists wrinkling, making this is a strong jacket that does not need much pressing or maintenance. It borders on a tech fabric, applied to a somewhat more formal silhouette here.
Silhouette references the classic three button blazer with a flat hem and raw seams on the cuffs and waistband. The lines are sleek and refined. Side pockets are hidden into the seams and reinforced with some subtle stitching. The rear is highly articulated with an anatomically inspired pattern designed to follow the contours of the body and again ensure maximum comfort and freedom of movement.
The Kazuyuki Kumagai label seems to be keeping a lower profile these days and can be hard to track down even in Japan. Getting it abroad is even more difficult, where these jackets retail at around $800 if you can find them. Get one here at a much more reasonable price.
Size is labeled a 3 corresponding to a standard medium. I measure the chest at 20” / 51cm, shoulders at 17” / 43cm, length at 27.5” / 70cm and sleeves at 26” / 66cm from the shoulder. The jacket comes in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
