Issey Miyake Homme Plissé, meaning ‘Men’s Pleats’, is rooted in its unique savoir-faire; rather than finishing the fabric first, the Japanese label cuts the garment into an initial form over three times its final size, which is then pressed between two sheets of fine paper to form the distinct pleats. As such, the fabric gives a breezy yet sculpted form to everything from wide-leg Issey Miyake shorts to versatile Homme Plissé cardigans. Since launching in 2013, the line’s comfort and permanent pleats have received near-universal acclaim – wash, scrunch and pack away a Homme Plissé blazer and shirt or Homme Plissé polo into your suitcase and you’ll arrive with a complete wrinkle-free ensemble. The simplicity and ease of Homme Plissé is cemented in its sizing system, with the numbered range of 1, 2, 3 and 4 flexing to fit a broad range of figures and builds.
