A Fusion of Custom Suits and Select Shop
apartir is not just a custom suit store. It is one of the few select shops in Nagoya that simultaneously offers carefully selected designer brands and custom-made items crafted by artisans.
What is the Original "Cascade" Pattern?
Commitment to Minimal Design
The defining feature of the Cascade pattern is its minimalist design, stripped of unnecessary elements. By minimizing all components such as shoulder pads, darts, and stitching, it achieves a refined and contemporary aesthetic.
The Secret to an Exquisite Silhouette
Dropped Shoulder: The dropped shoulder creates a natural shoulder line, achieving an exquisite balance that conveys a relaxed impression without compromising formality.
Wide Lapel with a Low Gorge: The wide lapel gives a modern impression. Setting the gorge lower widens the V-zone, creating a sophisticated atmosphere.
Relaxed Silhouette with a Slight Shape: Not too tight, not too loose. The silhouette, which follows the body's lines while allowing for room, evokes a sense of mature sophistication.
Carefully Crafted Bottoms
High-waisted, single-pleat tapered trousers. Retaining classic elements while featuring a modern tapered silhouette that beautifully accentuates the leg line.
The Appeal of Canonico's "Perennial" Fabric
A Prestigious Italian Mill
Vitale Barberis Canonico is an established fabric manufacturer founded in Biella, Northern Italy, in 1936. They have continued to produce the highest quality wool fabrics in Biella, one of the world's three major fabric-producing regions.
Characteristics of Perennial Fabric
Combining Suppleness and Durability: The name "Perennial" comes from the word for perennial plants, signifying a fabric that grows more beautiful with age. While possessing exceptional suppleness and resilience, it also offers a surprising robustness that belies its beautiful appearance.
Practicality for Year-Round Use: A major feature of Perennial is its suppleness, excellent durability and resilience, and suitability for year-round wear. It's a versatile fabric perfect for all seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Beautiful Coloration and Luster: The vividness and depth of color in Canonico fabrics are unmatched by other fabric brands. The deep charcoal gray hue and elegant luster reflect the wearer's inner individuality.
High Cost-Performance: Even though it is woven from carefully selected, high-grade wool raw materials, Canonico's appeal lies in its high quality and excellent cost-performance. This is why it enjoys high acclaim worldwide.
Why Charcoal Gray is Chosen
Most Versatile in Business Settings
Charcoal gray is a versatile color suitable for a wide range of occasions, from formal to business casual. Alongside navy, it continues to be a beloved staple color for businessmen.
Exudes Adult Sophistication
Softer than black, more formal than light gray. Charcoal gray is an ideal color that can simultaneously express adult calm and dignity.
Easy to Coordinate Colors and Patterns
It pairs excellently with shirts and ties. As shown in this coordination, combining it with a navy inner creates a refined monochromatic style.
