How to get started with AmeKaji style?

The word AmeKaji must be familiar to everyone now. Many people think that AmeKaji is American retro. In fact, AmeKaji is not the same as American retro.
The word AmeKaji was originally transliterated from a Japanese magazine. After the Second World War, Japan was influenced by American cultural imports or the worship of the strong. The love of motorcycle suits and tough tannin elements has gradually formed a trend. This trend has changed with the times in Japan. After continuous development and integration, it has gradually formed an American retro style with its own characteristics.

Relying on their rigor, the Japanese made continuous improvements in tailoring, design, fabrics, details, etc. In the early 1990s, a large number of high-quality faithful replica brands appeared in Japan, such as sugar cane, Pherrows, R by 45rpm, etc. And so on, through the improvement of the Japanese, not only the quality has made great progress, but also Ami Kaji has gradually formed its unique style and culture.
The AMEKAJI style is simply American-style casual clothing, which gradually forms an American retro style with Japanese characteristics through the improvement and development of the Japanese.
Nowadays, this kind of retro feeling not only affects the dressing style of Japanese people, but also gradually becomes a part of the world trend culture.

In particular, the tough style is still widely sought after. Regarding the history of the changes in various styles of AmeKaji , I will cite materials to sort out for you.
The following is a general overview of the changes in American clothing culture that have influenced AMEKAJ's style:
* Around 1910 and 1869, the opening of the Continental Transit Railway ushered in the era of western development. The dress at this time is the prototype of today's AMEKAJI style (Workwear WORK WEAR). At the same time, Hawaii was merged by the United States in 1898, and the ALOHA shirt in today's AMEKAJI style also originated at this time. * From 1910 to 1930, after WWI, the era of affluence turned into the era of great panic. During this period, the spirit of nostalgia and pioneering the times began to be popular, and today's baby style (WESTERN FASHION) began to be established at this time. In addition, at this time, the popularity of Hawaii as a leisure and sightseeing destination began to rise, and Hawaiian shirts (ALOHA SHIRTS) became popular clothing for leisure and sightseeing. This is also the era when baseball uniforms in professional ball games became popular.
*1940s WWII era. Most of the military clothing (MILITARY WEAR) in the AMEKAJI style now comes from the military uniforms at this time. Although there were military uniforms in the WWI era in the United States, most of the current AMEKAJI styles are from WWI to some military uniforms before and after the Korean War. This is because the design of the military uniforms during this period is simple, and it is easy to wear and suitable for civilians. , There are also many work clothes imitating the design among the people. The concise design of the work clothes of the US military during this period is still affecting the clothes of all countries in the world.
*1950s~post-war period of high development in the United States. At this time, the motorcycle rider (BIKERS) style began to emerge, and the OUT SIDER culture of the era appeared. James Ding, STEVEN MCQUEEN and other characters began to gain popularity. At the same time, in the eastern United States, sportswear (SPORTS WEAR) became popular as casual wear *1960s~after the end of the Vietnam War. Affected by a large number of anti-war movements, there have been changes in music and clothing, and hippie music and bell bottoms have become popular.
Today's AMEKAJI style is based on the clothing that has the characteristics of the times in each of the above eras and is close to the free and unrestrained character of folk Americans.


AMEKAJI style is simply American style of casual clothing and their attire style. The basic principle of AMEKAJI style is WORK + SPORTS. These work clothes (WORK WEAR) and sportswear (SPORTS WEAR) are the main elements of AMEKAJI's style. The AMEKAJI style is a style that has grown up by introducing various cultures that have emerged along with the flow of American history.
