How do I wear a Noragi Jacket?

With roots in historical Japanese workwear, the Noragi is a signature piece widely associated with 日本. Our AKASHI-KAMA Noragi is a light jacket is influenced by American streetwear with a Japanese workwear silhouette. It is a progression of the historical style, inspired by our Japanese American heritage and the blending of cultures. Noragis are traditionally worn by men, but our unisex garment can be worn by anyone. Our Akashi Kama Noragi Jacket can be styled as a mid-layer or the signature top in a simple fit. It is versatile enough to complete a streetwear look or as your blazer to a formal event. These are 7 ways to style a Noragi. With so many options, we barely narrowed it down to our favorites.

Dress It Down

Our Noragi Jacket over a plain white or black tee is timeless and classic. Designed to flexibly work as a streetwear piece, adding your favorite pair of heat (no sketchers allowed) makes the shoes your opener and the Noragi your headliner. Japanese Streetwear style is perfect with our AKASHI KAMA Noragi.

Pair With Lightwash Denim Almost nothing is as timeless as a white tee and distressed lightwash jeans. Our Noragi is made from Japanese double gauze cotton making it perfect as a light jacket for your summer uniform.

As A Layering Piece All of AKASHI-KAMA’s noragis are made with unique & high quality fabrics from Japan making it the perfect piece to use as a subtle detail under a thicker jacket. Our Noragi gold ends (whether tied or left hanging) look great with techwear styled pockets and chore coats alike.

Dress It Up Pairing a Noragi with more formalwear like a button-down or a tie gives it a whole new aesthetic. Fold over the collar for some extra collar room and pair it with a mock neck for a true flex. Red wine optional.

Add Accessories Add a wide brim hat for a more urban look or keep it streetwear with a dad hat. Or skip the hats all together and cuff the sleeves with some arm candy. Or do both.

All Black Everything Go no color and keep everything muted. Black pants, black Common Projects, and black shades hit with the minimal look and premium materials. We can barely handle Japanese drape with Italian leather. Also, who remembers this Lupe song?
