Takashi Takagi started SASSAFRAS in 2004 after deciding the surplus military clothing he gardened in could be improved on. The result is garden wear built from work, military and outdoor patterns — apron pockets, tool loops, cuts that assume you are kneeling — which happens to work everywhere else too.

SASSAFRAS

Offline only

No online store

This brand runs no shop of its own — its site is collections, a stockist list and a way to get in touch. Nothing here can be bought directly, from Japan or anywhere else, so the four checks have no shop to be about. You reach it through the shops that carry it.
