Who makes Lawford Clothing and what is its design philosophy?

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.

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.

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.
