As 2024 comes to a close and Christmas approaches,
it’s the perfect time to think about gifts for your loved ones—or even a reward for yourself after a year of hard work.
This year, we asked our staff to share their picks for “items they’d love to gift themselves.”
With their deep knowledge of our products, they’ve selected some highly recommended pieces for you.

If I’m treating myself, I want something I can wear for years. That’s why I chose the Inlay Long Sleeve T-shirt. Its sturdy fabric resists stretching, which makes it highly durable and maintains its shape for a long time. You can wear it on its own or as a layering piece, making it a must-have in your wardrobe!

For a self-gift, I went all out with these crafted jeans. The hand-finished fading by artisans gives each pair a unique look that’s hard to achieve on your own. The silhouette is loose and relaxed, just the way I like it. A one-of-a-kind design that’s truly worth it!

I usually wear skirts or dresses on my days off, but this denim jacket is versatile enough for both work and casual outfits. The soft fabric makes it super comfortable, and I can wear it year-round—even in midsummer! Plus, the smaller sizes fit women perfectly.

My choice for a self-reward is the Inlay Cardigan. I already own it in navy, but I’ve been eyeing another color for a while. This cardigan is perfect for layering in the winter or as outerwear in spring and autumn. The heavyweight fabric is a big plus for me.

Treating yourself means going for something different—like these SHIN-DENIM bottoms. They’re perfect for year-end events like parties, striking the right balance between casual and polished. Pair them with the matching jacket for a stylish, versatile look.

I chose this bomber jacket for its longevity and unique aging process. The textured sashiko-style jacquard fabric develops character over time, offering a different kind of wear than denim. With a comfortable quilted lining, it’s both warm and stylish—ideal for the season ahead.
Wrap up your year with a heartfelt gift for yourself or someone special.
Make the end of 2024 truly memorable with JAPAN BLUE JEANS.
