“A uniform for those who don’t have time to worry about what to wear”
「A uniform for those who have no time to worry about their style.」
Good evening. I’m cantáte Matsushima.
Time spent choosing clothes is both the greatest luxury and the greatest waste.
When did I start feeling this way?
Every day was hectic, with schedules piling up,
Before I knew it, even stopping in front of the mirror felt like a waste of time.
Even so, as long as I stand before others, I want to look put-together at every moment.
Born from these thoughts, this Directors Jacket was created.

it brings you together simply by throwing it on, without making you look stiff.
Neither “workwear” nor “dresswear,”
A natural garment between the two.
That is the ideal for this jacket.
・A double cloth with cashmere on the face and linen on the reverse
The matte fabric and buffalo-horn buttons.
An indescribably sensual contrast, like stillness and movement.
It is understated, yet impossible to look away from.
Cashmere and linen double-woven twill
The fabric is a special double-woven twill, interwoven with cashmere and linen.
combining softness and structure—seemingly opposing qualities—in a single fabric.
while the cashmere’s smooth, rich hand,
The dry texture of linen brings out its character,
It develops a light, airy fullness.
What you feel the moment you put it on is “lightness and confidence.”
The material itself gently straightens the wearer’s back.
・The back shoulder seam is finished with hand stitching
The slight “give” unique to hand sewingIt settles in without restriction, like an action pleat.
・Hand-finished armholes
Rather than merely sewing it, the 1 cm seam allowance is trimmed to about 7 mm and covered with the soft lining.
The lining is also carefully secured with pick stitching so it does not sag.
The more hidden the part, the greater the integrity
The lining uses cotton × rayon,
cotton × silk is used for the sleeve lining.
After carefully considering the moisture absorption and hand of each fiber,
are made so that you can feel the quality of the inside every time you put it on or take it off.
Moreover, the seam allowances are piped and the facings
Every detail has been meticulously adjusted, down to the angles and thread thickness.
The less visible the place, the more beautiful it should be.
・A gentle lima-bean-shaped armhole
・Piping narrowed to the limit, without any wrinkling
・The raw edge of the collar cloth at the back of the collar and chin
it is so beautiful it almost hurts.
・In garment-making,
I always believe that what matters in clothing is inner integrity rather than outward appearance.
・Hand-gathered sleeve caps
Hand-gathered sleeves
At the shoulder seam, “gathers” are formed by the artisan’s fingertips.
but each few centimeters are gathered by feel.
It could be sewn evenly by machine,
otherwise the shoulder’s rounded shape would not become a “living line.”
and is gathered by hand,
The excess fabric is allowed to fall away naturally,
The line from the shoulder to the arm flows together smoothly.
it is almost imperceptible to the eye.
Yet the moment you put the sleeves on,
an intangible persuasiveness called “a clean, settled fit.”it creates
That is,A subtle fullness that only human hands can createThat’s how it is.
・Unfinished cuffs
Fine gathers at the sleeve cap. That is precisely why the cuffs are left unfinished.

the persuasive power brought by “serious craftsmanship”
This jacket,
It looks polished despite being casual.
you look stylish even when you let your guard down.
It is no coincidence,
That is because the seriousness of its craftsmanship—present in the materials, construction, and design—makes it appear that way.
it is in what clothing does not say that true intent resides.
Before thinking about tomorrow’s schedule,
Simply throw it on.
Just that alone makes me feel a little more composed.
Even amid the bustle,
A uniform for those who never compromise on refinement or integrity.
exactly that: the Ca/Li Directors Jacket.
In fact, the people who picked up this jacket were
Film directors, advertising directors, architects, stage directors, designers, and more.
They were all, quite literally, “people who make things happen on the ground.”
Remarkably, this garment has chosen its “profession.”
they surely know.
More than flashy appearances,how much a dependable garment can support you in your daily work.
Before thinking about tomorrow’s schedule,
Simply throw it on.
Just that alone makes me feel a little more composed.
