Launched in 2016 by founder and creative director Kiichirō Asakawa, SSSTEIN is a Japanese menswear brand that redefines contemporary minimalism through a meticulous approach to tailoring and silhouette. The brand is celebrated for its precise yet relaxed cuts, often featuring elegantly oversized proportions that offer both comfort and a sophisticated drape. SSSTEIN places a strong emphasis on high-quality, often custom-developed fabrics that enhance the garment's texture and fall, with Asakawa's approach to textiles being almost mathematical. Its aesthetic is characterized by a subdued, often monochromatic palette, allowing the intricate details and superior construction to take center stage. SSSTEIN consistently delivers elevated everyday wear, embodying a quiet confidence and a timeless sensibility that appeals to those who appreciate subtle luxury and understated elegance.
