🔸 Project Page Summary

Made in Japan’s denim capital, this KOTOBUKIHIFUKU vest is designed for real life—easy to layer, tough enough for work, and tidy enough for a casual office. It packs seven thoughtfully placed pockets, including two oversized interior pockets for essentials, while staying light and movement‑friendly. Sizes run S–3L, and the campaign unlocked a black denim option alongside classic indigo. It’s machine‑washable for low‑maintenance wear. A practical piece with roots in Okayama’s craft culture—built to be worn hard, every day.
