In preparation for the DIGAWEL 2024AW collection, we studied a variety of subjects and topics from the early days of social media from 2001 to 2009; from 9/11 to the election of Obama and assembled them into a collection.
For the autumn/winter 2024 season, we focused on the expression of a soft looking black color in DIGAWEL’s own way, which is expressed in the season’s looks through a story that gradually shifts from light and colorful images to heavier, darker tones.
Proposal of three different set-up styles
In addition to the jacket and In-pleats pants set-up that we have been developing for the past few seasons, we have created a set-up in dark tones that undergoes a complex process of being rolled into a cylindrical shape and wrinkled in a pleat oven in the finished state, and then undergoing a siloset process to fix the wrinkles in place.
And for this season, we newly propose short-length jackets and pants lined with OCTA, a high-functional material used for outdoor wear. With washed finish, we have created a set-up with a worn-out atmosphere.
Collaboration with F/CE. [STLTHCOLLECTION]
As with our inline collection, we are particular about black, and only offer Ultra BLACK, which is considered a deeper shade of black than normal black, in a lineup of four outerwear models and one pants model.
The Puffer Jacket an ongoing collaboration, has also been updated and is now available in Ultra BLACK along with the Puffer Vest.
The other two outerwear styles and the pants are made with a three-layer film finish on the fabric to give a waterproofness and breathability, and are the result of the careful attention to detail of both F/CE. and DIGAWEL.
2024SS Collection “architects of familiar surprises”
For the DIGAWEL 2024 spring/summer season, we began by taking the time to go through a large number of garments and reaffirm where DIGAWEL is and its position.
Along the way, we obtained lines that connect the fragmented desires that exist as dots, adding volume to what was somehow familiar and giving it a strong outline.Our strength at DIGAWEL is that we can come up with new ideas in this way.
In the words of Derek Thompson, we hope to find a channel of communication with a large audience by translating our intentions and intent into clear words.

DIGAWEL and Mizuno have teamed up to produce their first collaborative shoe.
The collaborative model is based on the WAVE RIDER β, a newly developed model from Mizuno’s Sportstyle category this season. In addition to the same state-of-the-art sole unit as the WAVE RIDER 26, a running shoe with a distinctive volume, the upper features a sophisticated color scheme based on DIGAWEL’s in-depth research into Mizuno’s heritage design.
“We don’t go out in high-spec gear that can withstand a 5,000-meter altitude trek, but in light picnic wear with vibrant, colorful checks that will make your heart sing.” The DIGAWEL 2023SS collection started with this image. The WAVE RIDER β, which is reminiscent of trekking shoes of the time, was completed to match the collection lineup of items inspired by the trekking scene and Boy Scout culture of the 90s, brightly-colored check patterns, and uplifting picnic wear. The spare shoelace that comes with the Wave Rider β is inspired by the chocolate mint ice cream eaten on picnics.
The collaboration model was born by coexisting the designs of both brands,which have affinity as both are based in Japan and continue their activities beyond the sea with ambition.

“We don’t need a high-spec gear that can withstand a 5,000-meter altitude trek, but we go out in light picnic wear with brightly colored checks that makes us feel good.”
The opening scene of Powers of ten* by Mr. and Mrs. Eames. A man and woman are lying on a sheet on the lawn having a picnic. As the camera gradually pulls back above them, we can see they are in an urban park. This is where the DIGAWEL 2023 Spring/Summer collection started.
In collaboration with Dickies, DIGAWEL produced shirts and pants designed with the image of Cub Scout uniforms, following on from the fall/winter 2022 season.
The collaboration with URU TOKYO will continue this season.
For the first time in the spring/summer season, we collaborated with F/CE. We produced a multi-pocket shirt and shorts in two materials using Solotex. In addition, THE RAILROAD SOCK HEALTH TRACK special COMFORT TOP (2Pk) will be a triple name with a special order to Railroad Socks company from U.S.A.
J.PRESS ORIGINALS and DIGAWEL have teamed up to create the CRST label, now in its sixth season. “comfy” fits and silhouettes on a “grayscale” with various connotations.
春夏シーズンでは初めてとなるF/CE.とのコラボレートでは.ソロテックスを使用した２素材でマルチポケットシャツとショーツを制作しました。また、アメリカのレイルロードソックス社へ別注をかけたトリプルネームとなる THE RAILROAD SOCK HEALTH TRACK specialCOMFORT TOP(2Pk)が登場します。
DIGAWEL is pleased to announce its Fall/Winter 2022 season. The clothes that have been developed in the nostalgic and slightly ugly taste of the last two seasons are now being reworked and reimagined by different generations for themselves. The story line of the collection is that of a different generation remaking and reimagining clothes for themselves. We have encouraged a change in volume by picking up a large size and making it into our size in a rather violent way or blowing up something smaller and bumping it up against something in a different category. That is what we are doing this season.
The collaboration with URU TOKYO will continue this season.
The down jackets, which we continue to collaborate with F/CE., are made of wool for the outer fabric, giving them a classic look. Also available is a fur jacket made of recycled polyester. A fleece jacket with a fur jacket made of recycled polyester and a down vest docked together is also available. The new line is under the double name of F/CE.
CRST, a label teamed up with J.PRESS, is now in its fifth season. “For a little while I had seen perfect peace, perfect rest, a past we have lost but a past returning to us as if by means of a long-term oscillation, to be available as our future, in which all lost things shall be restored.” said the American science fiction writer. Homecoming is the tagline for this season.
For the first time in DIGAWEL’s inline, we collaborated with Dickies, using 1950s sports slacks from the Dickies archives as a reference. We created two-tuck slacks. A new color, Olive, will be added to the standard LEATHER BELT.
