A Tokyo Style Story with Toshihiro Yasutake

On a sunny day in Omotesando, Tokyo, our friend Toshihiro Yasutake takes us for a walk around his adopted city.
We first met Yasutake due to his many years spent working at Beams, but he is also someone whose expression of personal style we’ve long-admired. “I grew up collecting sneakers and magazines,” he says, “which I suppose has grown into a life-long interest in clothing and menswear.”
Below, he dresses for the eclectic style (and weather) of Tokyo in our suede chore coat, Japanese ecru denim, Games tailoring and new fishing vest in ripstop cotton.
“You have to know yourself. I am not a movie star, so I just want to fit into my own style and be comfortable in what I wear, making small changes as I go along, but nothing too dramatic.”
