What to know about Still By Hand
Japanese fabric, Japanese production
Garments are cut in Japan from Japanese cloth, from washed cotton shirting to wool outerwear, which explains the mid-to-high pricing more than any branding does.
Knitwear and shirts lead
The label is best known for knit polos and shirting, with chore jackets and wide-cut trousers filling out a relaxed, loose-proportioned wardrobe.
Quiet detail over visible design
Designer Yusuke Yanagi works in clean lines and seasonal colours drawn from Japanese landscapes, so the interest sits in construction rather than logos or graphics.
The pieces that define Still By Hand
Half Sleeve Shirt
Short-sleeve shirting in washed cotton and linen blends is a house staple, appearing each season in quiet, landscape-drawn colours.
Explore Half Sleeve Shirts →Blouson
Knit and pigment-dyed blousons show the label's detail-driven approach to soft, unstructured outerwear.
