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.
