What is the appeal of "Ring Djaket," the leading domestic suit brand?

When it comes to jackets and suits, authentic brands from Italy and the U.K. are the leading choices and tend to attract a lot of attention. However, did you know that there is a factory brand in Japan that offers quality that rivals that of the real brands? The name is “Ring jacket ( RING JACKET ). It is likely to be said, ” What now...” to the man who likes clothes, but it is scary. However, we would like to approach the charm of “RING JACKET” again this time.

What is Ring Djaket? Ring Djaket is “one of Japan’s leading suit factory brands that aims to create ready-to-wear suits that fit as comfortably as custom-made clothes.

Ring Djaket is a domestic factory brand specializing only in tailored suits, released from one of the best suit factories in Japan, which was established in Osaka in 1954. The company’s commitment to outstanding craftsmanship, the latest machine technology, and high-quality materials is one of the best in the world, as it upholds “ready-to-wear suits that are as comfortable as custom-made suits. Ring Djaket is highly regarded in the industry, and there is no end to the number of consignments and special orders from leading select stores in Japan. Incidentally, the correct terminology is “jacket” rather than “jacket,” as it was named by Kensuke Ishizu, the founder of Van Djaket, who was an ally of the founder of Ring Djaket.

Ring Jacket’s appeal: “Patterns that fit Japanese people’s front shoulders.

One of the characteristics of the body shape of Japanese and other oriental people is that the shoulders tend to protrude forward because the muscles in the front of the body are more developed than those in the back. In order to fit such a body shape, we have created a balanced design by combining a large amount of fabric on the back side with a narrower fabric on the front side.

Ring Jacket’s appeal: “Deep armholes with a vertical narrowing.


The key to a good jacket is “how smooth and stress-free the arms are in operation. One of Ring Jacket’s features is that the base of the armhole is narrowed to the top (near the side), and the depth of the shoulder sides is achieved by a pattern that is thicker.

Appeal of Ring Jacket: “Careful and excellent ironing and sewing by skilled craftsmen create a three-dimensional jacket!

In tailoring suits and jackets, originally two-dimensional fabrics are cut and sewn to fit the three-dimensional human body, which naturally results in unwanted wrinkles and creases in some areas. This is a difficult point that can be said to be the fate of suit tailoring, but by sewing while incorporating ironwork by skilled craftsmen, a three-dimensional and beautiful finish is achieved. For example, beautiful drapes, lapels that return softly even without interlinings, and lines that rise naturally from the shoulders to the neck are details that are completed by advanced ironwork, or “baking” techniques. It may sound like a simple process, but it is no exaggeration to say that ironing is an important process that determines the finish of a suit. Ring Djaket’s commitment to ironing work is not half-baked, and the company’s strength lies in the thoroughness of its work, even in points where other makers tend to cut corners.

Appeal of Ring Jacket “Strength of no shoulder pads

Suits that are structured and intimidating in a good sense, like British brand suits, are also attractive, but Ring Jacket is particularly good at soft, rounded, and light jackets like those from Naples, Italy. One of the points where this is evident as a detail is in the finishing of the shoulders. Many Ring Jacket models have been available without shoulder pads in the past, but starting in spring/summer 2016, all ready-to-wear models will be made without shoulder pads. The “manica camiche (rained-down sleeves )* “, the most popular Italian suiting technique, was mastered in 1980 at an Italian sewing factory, and is one of the most natural-looking jackets without shoulder pads. It is now one of Ring Djaket’s specialties.

Manica camicha (rained-down sleeves)*: A detail of a jacket with sleeves that are wrinkled at the shoulders like the sleeves on a shirt. Also known as “rained-down sleeves. The absence of shoulder pads reduces weight by eliminating secondary materials, while at the same time allowing for a wider range of motion, leading to a softer fit and appearance.

Appeal of Ring Djaket “Commitment to natural fabrics

With the exception of some cotton jackets, the fabrics used for Ring Jacket are mainly made of natural materials. The choice of fabrics reflects the attitude of the brand. Considering that even well-known brands often use chemical fiber blends in order to achieve low prices, this is actually a distinctive characteristic of the brand.

On overseas Internet bulletin boards, there are comments such as, “I was astonished when I saw the price ! There is nothing even close to this price for this fabric and quality. It’s about three times the price of Brunello Cucinelli. ” Japan’s ‘suit culture’ is so strong that it’s easy to buy a great suit at a great price.” These are just some of the comments that make Japanese people proud to be Japanese.
