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.
For the Spring/Summer 2022 season, DIGAWEL has created a collection entitled “COACH”.In the “Teachers” collection for Fall-Winter 2021, we created a balance between dress clothes and sportswear with a lot of classic clothing elements. This time, as coaches, we have incorporated more elements of sportswear. Rather than the latest light and functional sportswear, we used fabrics and colors with a thick and durable texture that gives a sense of nostalgia.
In the sense of looking back to the past, DIGAWEL recreate the designs that DIGAWEL was good at in the past, in a way that is unique to the present in collaboration with URU TOKYO within the larger frame of “COACH”.
For the past few seasons, DIGAWEL has been developing pants with an emphasis on slacks. Hearing that Kleuren was developing a hosiery line to match the slacks, we asked them to collaborate with us, and they made it happen.
DIGAWEL and J.PRESS, two labels with different cultures, have teamed up to create CRST, which will enter its fourth season in spring/summer 2022. The theme of the collection is “TYODrift”, and CRST’s standard oxfordbags pants are made in collaboration with Dickies this season. We also offer a wide range of accessories such as puka shell necklaces and baseball caps, specially made by Poten.
The third edition of Yoshida Kaban’s packable large shoulder bag and Vinyl Tote Bag.
A new color, Natural, will be added to the standard Three-Fold Purse. Also, Ring Card Case made of the same leather as Three-Fold Purse will be added in the selection.
When I envisioned the items and colors, and size I wanted to make this season, I came up with the image of a school teacher. A staff room with unique teachers of various ages and genders, who are a little out of balance in the old days. I created it while thinking about the characters of the teachers in each subject.
A series of blouson jacket with a nostalgic atmosphere.
Our shirts, which are popular every season, are based on the Generic Shirts model and come in a variety of fabrics. Oversized Shirts, Crop Top Shirts, and many other variations.
As for pants, we are developing a wide variety of inverted-pleat pants, most of them are in wide pants.
In keeping with the theme, large and ugly jacquard knit cardigan and sweater.The high gauge knit cardigan uses cash wool from ZEGNA BARUFFA, which has the special cobranded name tag with ZEGNA BARUFFA.
BOX BAG is made of Tyvek® and the idea stemmed from the shopping bag of DIGAWEL store. The second version Vinyl Tote Bag, which garment-dyed Yoshida Kaban original fabric. The Leather Lanyard, which has been used extensively in the look, has been modified and is now released once again.
DIGAWEL and J.PRESS, two labels with different cultures, have teamed up to create the label “CRST” which will continue as Season 3 for AW2021.
In SEASON 2, we launch a collection which restructure the post-modern dress code combining dress clothes and sportswear without no medium.Balmacaan coat with plaid pattern at backside of collar, drizzler jacket, double-breasted blazer and trousers are introduced with a loose silhouette.
Search for the “NEW NORM”, not the new standard.
In addition, we would like you to focus on the products which project the “CASUALS”, one of the UK subculture. “CASUALS” had been evolved through the football fan of Liverpool in 70’s and is youth culture originated in football stadium different from another cultures based on the prosperous music in UK.Since its birth, the young football fans spread the sportswear on the UK street. They were influenced by Italian young people around the same age with the passage of ages from 70’s to 90’s and produced popular brands in the “CASUALS”. Among it, a coordination with traditional UK brands and tennis-wears became a standard.Furthermore, it’s been spread to throughout the UK with sneaker boom joined, and wearing some brands’ tennis shoes and running shoes would be a status for the “CASUALS”.
For this season, collaboration with ellesse, Italian sports wear brand to have roots in tennis comes true.CRST refines their iconic windbreaker born in 80’s while following nostalgic and colorful 90’s Italian design.

DIGAWEL 2020AW COLLECTION
DIGAWEL autumn/winter 2020 is a collection with image sourced out of 90s street with an eye-catching printed fabrics and French Trad. Continuing from the 2020SS season, we have created original ‘plant’ printed fabric by using the material that give an unusual touch of the fabric. The t-shirts and shirts are designed with a lean silhouette, and we pursued the optimal balance and design for each pattern of the print. Pants are designed in variations so that you can enjoy the small differences such as different fabrics in the same silhouette.
As a whole, a color palette that looks good in FALL/WINTER season has been used in this collection. The collaboration item with F/CE is DIGAWEL’s very first down jacket using recycled nylon, a boiler suit and dress with triple name with British workwear brand YARMO, and a cooler bag that can also be used as a record case. “CRST” the collaboration line with J.PRESS, DIGAWEL refines the crest motif that has existed in J.PRESS for a long time and outputs it to the product, which is used from outerwear to hats and socks. A capsule collection that proposes a new style by dismantling and rebuilding the preconceptions of IVY and Trad.
