A work jacket that places the act of drawing itself at the center.
Rather than presenting a finished graphic, the garment preserves the traces of actions — writing, tracing, layering — directly on the fabric, making the craftsman’s handwork visible.
Instead of uniformity or reproducibility, it embraces momentary decisions and the natural wavering of lines, allowing each piece to exist as a product with its own unique expression.

Material

Crafted from 11.5oz white denim.
With a balanced weight and firmness, the fabric carries a canvas-like quality that receives drawing and print with clarity.
With wear, it gradually softens, evolving over time alongside the hand-drawn lines.

Finish

Each jacket is hand-painted individually by skilled artisans.
Variations in line thickness, fading, and ink density ensure that no two pieces are identical.
Select areas incorporate pigment printing, where printed elements intersect with hand-drawn lines, creating a layered expression designed to deepen with age.

Silhouette

Based on a classic work jacket, cut in a relaxed box silhouette.
Designed for versatile layering, it can be worn effortlessly from shirt-like styling to light outerwear.
The clean, linear form enhances the placement and movement of the drawn lines.

Background Story

Motifs reminiscent of postcards, notes, and travel annotations evoke fragments of memory and communication.
The imperfections and spontaneity that cannot be replicated through print alone are preserved through the artisan’s hand.
Where KURO’s craftsmanship intersects with MAISON KITSUNÉ’s cultural perspective, this piece stands as a “record of handwork” — completed through the act of drawing.
