In a world of hipster poseurs that you too often want to punch in the face, Junya Watanabe is the real deal, a guy who knows it's not about swagger, it's about the glide. In this case, it's a bit Mingus meets the Mods. Un-vented, vintage-y looking suits in three buttons or double-breasted are cut tight and paired with wingtip shoes (and wingtip sneakers). There's a confident mix of fabrics and textures, all built for layering: denim with moleskin patching, waxed coats, corduroy topcoats in camel, andQuadrophenia-ish parkas in olive drab. In short, classics for the guy who appreciates classics, but digs seeing them reinterpreted.
