Who makes Lawford Clothing and what is its design philosophy?

Lawford Clothing was founded in 2020 by Japanese designer Kazu Takeshige. The brand focuses on timeless silhouettes and rugged construction, inspired by British and American workwear but built with Japanese precision under the motto “Built to Last.”

Where is Lawford Clothing made?

All Lawford garments are made in Japan, using high-quality fabrics and traditional manufacturing techniques to ensure superior durability and style.

Is Lawford Clothing similar to other Japanese brands like Kapital or Visvim?

Lawford shares a passion for craftsmanship and heritage design with brands like Kapital and Visvim, but it offers a more grounded, utility-driven approach—prioritizing everyday wearability and accessible pricing over avant-garde or luxury positioning.

Why is Japanese workwear so popular?

Japanese workwear is admired for its attention to detail, quality materials, and reverence for vintage Americana and military styles. Brands like Lawford reflect this ethos, offering garments that are both functional and culturally rich.

What makes Lawford’s denim and workwear special?

Lawford’s denim is crafted using traditional Japanese weaving methods that create a rich, durable fabric. The brand’s workwear features reinforced stitching, vintage cuts, and thoughtful details that improve with age and wear.

Where can I buy Lawford Clothing online and internationally?

Lawford is available online at lawford.jp and through international retailers like URAHARA STORE in Melbourne, Australia.

Product Description

Inspired by the utility jackets worn by the U.S. Navy during World War II, this piece combines functional design with timeless workwear aesthetics. It carries the minimalist beauty of a work jacket, with carefully adjusted sizing and precise attention to detail for an authentic recreation.

The jacket features three oversized open pockets, including a chest pocket with a pen slot. Reinforced with double-needle chain stitching, it’s built to withstand the test of time.

Crafted from a lightweight herringbone twill, the fabric is modified from the original WWII olive with slub yarns for a rich texture and soft feel. The black-painted one-star laurel wreath buttons add a vintage touch, developing character with wear. A true piece of history reimagined.

What We Think

Lawford’s Navy Utility Jacket is one of those pieces you’ll end up wearing more than you think. Inspired by the WWII U.S. Navy utility jacket, it keeps the details that made the original great, big open pockets, tough chain stitching, and one-star laurel buttons that pick up character as they age.

The lightweight herringbone twill gives it a soft feel and makes it a perfect Japanese-made work jacket for layering year-round. Throw it over a tee, under a coat, or even with smarter trousers when you want something versatile, and full of character.
