Ginza Wako's custom-made shirt service has been updated to "WAKO BESPOKE," supervised by shirt craftsman Yuta Minami.

May 7, 2023
Wako Co., Ltd. has launched "WAKO BESPOKE," a made-to-order shirt service overseen by some of Japan's leading shirt craftsmen.

As the name "bespoke" suggests, Wako's made-to-order shirts are made using carefully selected fabrics and Japan's outstanding techniques, while valuing dialogue. For many years, we have been delivering styles that exude the dignity of a gentleman, befitting the streets of Ginza. A new service has now been introduced to our made-to-order service, allowing you to experience the true joy of shopping at Wako.



"WAKO BESPOKE" is based on the theme of combining the two axes of "scene" (ON or OFF) and "style" (FORMAL or CASUAL), and proposes the perfect piece to suit your purpose and life scene, such as where you're going and the impression you want to create.

This new made-to-order shirt has been supervised by Yuta Minami, one of Japan's leading shirt craftsmen. It will be sewn by Tominaga Shoten, a long-established company with outstanding skills in Japan that has been making Wako shirts for many years. Minami's creativity will be brought to life by Tominaga Shoten's skills, which have the know-how cultivated over many years.




This piece is themed around "FORMAL style for off-duty scenes." It is recommended for occasions such as anniversaries with family or your partner, or dinner at a long-established restaurant in Ginza.


"WAKO BESPOKE" offers shirts that look great even on their own.



The shoulders are used as the fulcrum to create a silhouette that falls softly to the front and back of the body. The drape, as if wrapped in air, expresses the elegance that is symbolic of the sophisticated town of Ginza. The back features gathers, a feature often chosen for Minami shirts, exuding elegance even from behind.




The two vertical stitching lines running between the sleeve and body are spaced closer together than on existing custom-made shirts. This gives the shoulders a sleek look, enhancing the look when worn alone. It creates a sophisticated impression even without a jacket or tie, making it suitable for cool business attire.




Custom-made buttons are used, designed with functionality in mind, for ease of fastening and unfastening, and a high quality feel. The bottom buttonhole opens to the side to make it easier to unfasten. This is a detail often found on authentic shirts.




Another key feature is the "cone cuff," which tapers towards the end of the sleeve. Additionally, a total of four tucks are added above the cuff, creating a beautiful tapered sleeve. The sleeves are kept from becoming too bulky, creating a beautiful silhouette.

WAKO BESPOKE allows you to have a shirt made to order that will stand out in a style appropriate for the occasion. It also features the comfortable fit that can only be achieved through a made-to-order order. Enjoy a special piece that is just for you, created with the aesthetic sense and delicate handwork of our artisans.
