Tokyo apparel label founded in 1999 by graphic designer Tsukada Koji, starting with printed T-shirts before growing into festival-inspired camp gear, including down jackets co-developed with sleeping-bag maker Nanga.
Best for Camp lifestyle gear
Natal Design was founded in 1999 by graphic designer Tsukada Koji, who started out printing his own T-shirt designs before formalizing the brand with exhibition-style presentations from 2009 onward. The label draws heavily on 1990s American casual wear and Tokyo's Harajuku youth culture, filtered through Tsukada's background in graphic design rather than traditional pattern-cutting. Its signature pieces include sarouel-style denim trousers cut with stretch fabric and oversized flap pockets, shorts finished with bird-shaped pocket details, and — through a collaboration with the Shiga-based down specialist Nanga — down jackets that pair Natal Design's silhouettes with Nanga's insulation expertise. Beyond clothing, the brand has extended into eyewear, camping chairs and canvas totes made with specialist manufacturing partners. Natal Design is based near Meiji University Station in Tokyo, where it runs its own retail shop, Scatter Brain, alongside distribution through roughly twenty wholesale partners across Japan and exhibitions and stockists reaching New York, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Japan
Osaka-based Japanese workwear and denim label; the manufacturer began as a 1967 babywear maker, relaunched its heavyweight denim and tee line under designer Chuji Matsumoto, opened a Kobe flagship in 1997, and has been based in Osaka since 2014.
Best for Heavyweight tees, flannels
UES's corporate roots go back to 1967, when the company began as a manufacturer of baby clothing in Japan. It was later redirected toward heavyweight denim and workwear by designer Chuji Matsumoto, whose name for the line - UES - reportedly derives from 'waste,' reflecting his stated intent that garments be worn hard and used up rather than treated precious. The brand opened its first dedicated flagship store in Kobe in 1997 and has been headquartered in Osaka since 2014. UES works with Japanese mills that still run vintage shuttle looms, producing selvedge denim and heavyweight jersey tees using older, slower production methods.
