Casual refined style!

Here we have Boncoura's take on the timeless fatigue jacket, a staple in men's fashion since its first introduction as military wear worn by US soldiers in the 1960s, later becoming a fashionable casual jacket worn by civilians during the mid-20th century. As usual, Boncoura has executed this design flawlessly, using their own specially developed fabrics, elegant pattern design and durable construction!

This jacket is constructed with a specially developed 100% cotton poplin fabric. This fabric is known for its high durability and breathability, perfect for Spring and Autumn! Slowly woven on vintage machines, this fabric has a smooth yet slightly irregular texture. With time, the yarn-dyed black sulphur colourway will age to a soulful vintage look!

Construction-wise, Boncoura has used a combination of single-needle and Twin-needles stitching for enhanced durability! The large matte black urea buttons add tasteful tonal contrast to the all-black look! Details-wise, Boncoura has altered the original fatigue jacket design, removing the epaulettes and preserving the 'slanted' pocket design for a striking look! With twin buttoned chest and waist pockets, this jacket has plenty of storage space to safely, secure your daily items!

Bon' is back with another masterpiece!

The classic '41 chinos are a historic WWII design, that has since become a fashionable part of casual menswear. Boncoura has preserved the elegant pocket and waist detailing, and updated the original baggy/straight design to a more elegant relaxed tapered fit for a timeless look!

Boncoura have a passion for especially developing their fabrics to the exacting standards! This one might bring back memories of vintage Ralph Polo garments with tastefully large ridged corduroy. To take this memory to another level, Bon' has created a heavyweight corduroy with extra-large ridges and a silky smooth surface without a 'scratchy' feeling. They use full-grain natural cotton to make up for a beautiful sheen. It takes 6-9 months to bring from raw materials to the final fabric.

The thread-dyed colourway will gradually gain a soulful, softly faded appearance with long-term usage.

Aside from the enhanced texture, this allows the fabric to maintain warmth and keep you protected from the cold wind. The reverse side itself is truly another level. The appearance is like some jacket shell standard herringbone twill with a very smooth feeling.

From the tailor-standard construction, and the custom-developed brass zip to the herringbone twill lining, this one is a true example of Boncoura's pride in creating next-level products.

The relaxed tapered fit has a formal silhouette that doesn't look 'baggy' yet these are so comfortable for daily use!

The ULTIMATE denim blazer!

Boncoura has quickly gained a reputation both in Japan and internationally for their uncompromising dedication to the highest quality in every garment they make, with beautiful specially-developed fabrics and expertly tailored fittings.

This jacket is Boncoura's take on the classic blazer with smart tailoring and a sharp silhouette! The body is constructed with their own specially developed 12oz nep denim. This 100% cotton fabric has been woven at an ultra-slow pace using vintage shuttle looms. This results in a smooth texture, with plenty of character! The denim has been yarn-dyed with pure indigo by Boncoura's highly skilled craftsmen. With time, this jacket will slowly age to a high-contrast look, with many shades of light and dark indigo hues.

Speaking of construction, this jacket features a neat tailored fit. Following the tradition of the tailor-made blazer, this denim blazer is cut and sewn by the best Japanese suit tailor giving it an elegant look!

Speaking of details, Boncoura does it subtly but tastefully! The body and pocket flaps are lined with their own specially developed "London stripe" cotton twill fabric which is silky soft against the skin and adds some nice contrast to the denim! The sleeves are lined with Boncoura's specially developed HBT satin fabric, which makes this jacket effortless to put on and provides some next-level comfort! The tasteful large golden brass buttons are crafted in a repurposed bottle cap factory. These are first moulded, then finely engraved by hand to make the design even sharper! With time these will age with a contrasted patina, as the deeper areas become darker and raised sections become even shinier!
