Kapital, the brainchild of father and son Toshikiyo and Kazuhiro Hirata, stands as one of the most prominent examples of Americana’s influence in Japan. Beginning as a dedication to denim inspired by the Hiratas' time in the United States, the brand quickly blossomed, becoming revered for its compelling synthesis of Western ruggedness with cornerstone Japanese techniques like sashiko embroidery, indigo dyeing, and boro.

This Ripstop Fishing Kimono Jacket embodies this philosophy. Cut in a kimono-inspired silhouette with an overwhelming emphasis on utilitarian function. Constructed from a durable cotton ripstop that has been treated to achieve a naturally patinated and weathered texture. While it keeps the traditional wrap-and-tie closure, its addition of multiple technical pockets and hardware firmly roots it in the lineage of field apparel and fishing vests.

Through this inventive recontextualization, Kapital transformed a traditional garment into a practical piece of outdoor gear. The final result is a versatile garment that perfectly embodies the brand’s enduring, essential dialogue between the cultural landscapes of East and West.
