Yoko Sakamoto

Brands/Men

Yoko Sakamoto was established in 2013 with a clear intention: to let materials and silhouette speak for themselves. The brand avoids seasonal themes, instead working from a steady focus on fabric and form. Each piece is shaped to honour the qualities already present in the material, guided by craft methods passed down through skilled makers. The unisex silhouettes are calm, open, and considerate of volume, designed to settle naturally into daily life and age with quiet character. Over time, the garments take on the imprint of the wearer, becoming long-lasting pieces that support a richer, more grounded wardrobe.

Military Shoes

A classic shirt with a regular collar, full button placket and single chest pocket. Characterized by a moderately dropped shoulder line, a relaxed and wide body, and a loose, effortless fit.

Stripe

Regular Collar Shirt

Loose fitting trousers cut from an original plain weave made from medium-fine hemp yarn, pushed to its absolute limit of high density for both warp and weft woven at a mill in the Bishu region. Post-weaving, YS apply a Nidom process, intentionally shrinking the fabric to develop a unique undulating surface. During this treatment, the fabric's surface is gently rubbed, softening its natural nap and resulting in a remarkably smooth, almost brushed hand. Though densely woven and initially as firm as sailcloth, the Nidom process imparts a distinctive, aged texture, reminiscent of well-loved antique textiles.

Featuring a drawstring waist, zip fly, dual front and back pockets.

Baggy Easy Pant Hemp

Five-pocket pants in a relaxed fit, cut with a wide straight silhouette for versatility and ease. Cut from a selvedge denim that possesses an unparalleled character. Made using old-style shuttle looms, resulting in a very low production rate of just a few meters per hour. This approach prevents excessive tension on the warp threads, giving the garment a truly unique texture. To further enhance its crisp hand, the brand pays exacting attention to the yarn's twist count and profile.

Work Blouse Hemp

Hooded wide fitting fishtail coat in water-repellent typewriter fabric woven with ultra-fine count extra-long staple cotton at ultra-high density in both warp and weft. This is an original material that has been improved with YS's unique interpretation of a historical Japanese military-spec fabric developed for air force pilots. It features a unique fabric texture that cannot be found in typical typewriter fabrics due to its ultra-high density. This fabric will change over time with repeated wear, allowing you to enjoy its aging process.

Mods Coat

Shirt jacket built with a three-dimensional pattern that gives a refined, classic look in a loose, easy silhouette. Designed with a dropped shoulder, generous width and a relaxed balance that works as both shirt and outer layer. Finished with practical seam pockets. Cut from a soft corduroy woven on old shuttle looms in the Enshu region using extra-long staple cotton with a naturally rich oil content. The cloth is woven without added tension, allowing the fibres to retain fullness and soften further with wear, developing a distinct patina over time.

Shirt Jacket

Coverall jacket inspired by early utilitarian house-brand workwear, cut from a heavy, high-density hemp plain weave developed on old shuttle looms in the Bishu region. The fabric is woven with thick hemp yarns set to their limit, then treated with a nidom wash that shrinks the cloth, creates a natural uneven surface, and softens the fibres for a dry, almost brushed hand. Designed with enlarged pockets for easy carry and practical use.

Brown

Five-pocket pants in a relaxed fit, cut with a wide straight silhouette for versatility and ease. Details include an uncoated iron tack button and copper-plated iron rivets that will slowly oxidise, developing a distinct patina over time. Made from an unsanforised selvedge denim woven slowly on old shuttle looms at a historic mill in Okayama. The cloth is left in its loomstate with no post-weave washing or shrink-treatment, preserving the crisp, dry hand and natural character created by low-tension weaving with carefully selected cotton yarns.
