What to know about Graphpaper Kyoto
Shirting and trousers carry the line
The house line centres on broadcloth and oxford shirts, wide trousers and bal collar coats, cut unisex in generous, architectural shapes from Japanese-milled cloth.
It is also a buying shop
Alongside its own label the store stocks outside names including Lemaire, Jil Sander and Hed Mayner, so the racks read as an edit rather than a single collection.
A retailer's label, not a designer's
Founder Takayuki Minami came from Tokyo retail concepts such as 1LDK, opening Graphpaper in Aoyama in 2015 and adding the in-house clothing line a year later.
How Graphpaper Kyoto fits
Overall fit
runs large
Graphpaper garments are known for intentionally generous, architectural silhouettes that wear larger than typical Western sizing, with drop shoulders and wide, elongated proportions.
Tip: Consider sizing down one from your usual, as the cuts are deliberately oversized and unisex sizing skews generous.
