Available here is a shirt from Wacko Maria, one of the more up-and-coming Japanese streetwear brands. I guess they were started by a former professional soccer player which is kind of interesting, and they tend to mine a pretty diverse range of influences: 60s and 70s prep styles, vintage mod and rude boy stuff, military and occasionally more out-there stuff too.
This is a button down shirt done in a pretty classic style. To me it references 1960s “ivy” wear. The design has been tweaked a bit, where the chest pocket features “guilty parties” embroidery, and the fit has been generally slimmed down a bit. Design is quality all around, where this is a high quality cotton weave. If you look at the detailed pics you can see the individual threads woven together in the check pattern. Wacko Maria is one of those labels that can reinterpret staple pieces, updating both the fit and quality. That’s what we have here, a timeless design with a few nice twists incorporated.
Size is labeled a medium and fits true if a bit slim. I measure the chest at 20”, shoulders at 16”, length at 25” in front and 26” in back (meant to be worn untucked) and sleeves at 25”. The shirt comes in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
