【Japan Exclusive】Mackinaw Model C: The Heritage Produced by Keiji Kaneko

2026 Fall & Winter item
FILSON - Japan Exclusive Collection
Concept “Seattle Trad” for the Urban Standard
● Made in Japan model with the theme of "Returning to Roots".
● The pocket position is set at waist height, creating a low center of gravity and a classical balance reminiscent of 1940s military denim jackets.
● A design favored by connoisseurs, where a rugged appearance coexists with a refined modern silhouette.
● Uses cotton-linen denim for the material.
● Indigo-dyed cotton for the warp and unbleached linen blend yarn for the weft create a wild expression.
● Linen's characteristic neps (slubs) appear on the surface, giving it a rough, dry texture that sets it apart from regular denim.
● As you wear it, the indigo fades and the linen fibers loosen, allowing you to enjoy the changing texture.
● A garment that is rewarding to grow with, fusing the two historic natural materials of "denim" and "linen".
● Directed by Keiji Kaneko, who has a wide range of activities including supervising various brands and labels.

FILSON - Japan Exclusive Collection
Concept “Seattle Trad” for the Urban Standard
Seattle, Washington, USA. It is a rare city where dense coniferous forests coexist with world-leading advanced technology companies. "Seattle Trad" style, where reverence for nature and rational thinking for the future intersect, has been reinterpreted for the Japanese environment.
The keywords this time are "subtraction" and "functional beauty." While retaining the excessive robustness of the original FILSON as gear, details that are over-spec for urban life have been cleanly removed. What is needed is toughness, ease of movement, and minimal functionality. This is a Japan-only collection that reconstructs workwear born in the forest into "everyday wear" for living on asphalt.
