Barnstormer describes its approach as the “Dress Chino”: combining the durability of casual trousers with tailoring techniques and refined finishing. Signature models such as the 1001P and 1002P embody this philosophy through Japanese cotton twills, carefully considered fits and sartorial details.

Batoner is a Japanese knitwear brand founded in 2013 in Sagae, Yamagata Prefecture. It was created by Okuyama Meriyasu, a family-run manufacturer established in 1951 and rooted in the textile expertise developed over generations in this historic Japanese knitting region.

Hunting jackets, parkas, shirts, knitwear and trousers form a collection in which vintage references are freely reworked rather than simply reproduced. Pieces such as the Balloon Pants, with their wide, rounded silhouette, perfectly illustrate this approach. FrizmWORKS offers a contemporary Korean take on heritage clothing that is relaxed, functional and easy to wear every day.

A long-standing informal project that has existed for more than 10 years, Goémon is a one-off textile manufacturing and design venture created by Pierre, a passionate native of Rennes, a long-time friend and occasional partner of Flâneurs.

The name Goémon deliberately evokes the coastlines of Brittany, near which the pieces are designed and made. It also references Japanese folklore and its popular hero, Goemon Ishikawa. This is a nod to Japan's relationship with objects, as well as to Pierre's own personal journey, both of which significantly influence his work for Goémon.

Accustomed to custom creations and personal research projects, Pierre wanted to embark on creating a first collection with the ambition of designing a coherent set where each piece retains its singularity and unique character, staying true to the very essence of Goémon.

This first collection is the result of several initiatives undertaken in recent years, such as the creation of a light, water-resistant bag with good capacity, ideal for weekends, the beach, or as an extra bag. It also includes the dyeing and washing work on technical fabrics, aimed at giving an organic look back to petrochemical-based canvases.

GOHEMP is a renowned Japanese brand known for its expertise in creating hemp clothing, combining comfort and durability. Established in 1994, it has become a benchmark in the world of workwear and casual wear, with a style inspired by the outdoor and urban Japanese lifestyle.

Harley of Scotland is a family-run manufacturer founded in 1929 in Peterhead, Scotland. Specialising in “seamless” knitting since 2001, its sweaters are knitted as a single piece without side seams, using carefully selected yarns including Shetland wool, lambswool and cashmere.

This experience played an important role in shaping our approach to Scottish knitwear, which we have continued since 2026 through our own Flâneurs Knitwear label.

Hoka (formerly "Hoka One One") is a brand created in 2009 in France, near Annecy, by two mountain running enthusiasts, Jean-Luc Diard and Nicolas Mermoud. "Hoka One One" literally means "to fly over the earth" in Maori, which corresponds to the distinctive feature of the brand's shoes: their bulky soles are designed to provide significant cushioning while remaining lightweight. This sole remains the main stylistic differentiation point from Hoka's immediate competitors in the running field, with the curved shape of its shoes and the use of bright colors. At its launch, these key points went against the more minimalist designs of the time, allowing Hoka to establish a strong brand identity, recognizable at first glance.

Informale, which means "informal" in Italian, is an Australian brand, founded in 2018 by Steve Calder.

Its concept is simple: to offer pieces that are a blend of chic tailoring and relaxed casual wear, focusing on the choice of materials, which are always sourced from the finest Australian, Italian, or English manufacturers.

All Informale pieces are made in the heart of Melbourne, just a few kilometers from the brand's headquarters, allowing Steve to oversee every step of the manufacturing process to ensure the best final quality.

We also collaborate with Informale on exclusive colors and fabrics, especially for the two key pieces of their collection: the linen trousers T005 and the Jungle Jacket J002.

The iconic Shaggy Dog Sweater, distinguished by its soft, brushed Shetland wool, remains one of its signature pieces. With longstanding ties to Japan, J. Press also reflects the enduring connection between American Ivy culture and Japanese menswear.

We have collaborated with Kardo since 2022, selecting fabrics, patterns and craft techniques together to develop exclusive shirts, trousers and other pieces that have become an integral part of our collections.

For years, we travelled across Japan to build the Flâneurs selection, searching for garments that tell a story, distinctive fabrics and craftsmanship designed to stand the test of time. Kinari was born from this journey.

Its name comes from the Japanese word 生成り (Kinari), referring to the natural colour of a fibre before it is bleached or dyed. An original, simple and authentic state that reflects our approach to clothing. We believe the finest garments are those that live, develop a patina and evolve with time. This is the story we imagine for every Kinari piece. Endurance Clothing.

The Japanese knitting label Mooncastle, launched in 2020, is the first brand from the family business Tsukisiro Knit Co., based in Osaka and founded in 1966.

This pursuit finds its most distinctive expression in the Samurai Cotton Project, launched in 2008 to grow wamen (和綿), Japanese cotton, in Japan before transforming it into yarn and fabric. From the cotton itself to the smallest construction details, Samurai takes its vision of Made in Japan particularly far, even through its signature red and silver selvedge, inspired by Japanese sword blades.

Selvedge fabrics are developed in Japan, while cutting and sewing take place in TCB’s own Kojima factory using an extensive range of vintage machines. Models such as the 50’s Jeans embody this meticulous approach to historic denim. Behind this dedication is also a touch of humour: TCB stands for “Taking Care of Business”, but also “Two Cats Brand”, a reference to Hajime Inoue’s cats.

Ten C is the acronym for The Emperor's New Clothes, a Danish folk tale that teaches the moral importance of looking beyond what we are told to see and appreciating what is truly there. In this spirit, Ten C advocates for boycotting trends in favor of sustainable clothing.

To achieve this, designers Alessandro Pungetti and Paul Harvey make it a point of honor to offer a meticulously selected range, designed to withstand the test of time, in styles that will never go out of fashion. The combination of Japanese material technology and Italian craftsmanship makes Ten C a distinctive brand, recognizable at first glance.

The workshop was located at 3 rue de Bretonvilliers on the Île Saint Louis, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, where the brand Vetra (a contraction of VÊtements de TRAvail, meaning work clothes) was created in 1927. With a commitment to defending French textile expertise by manufacturing 100% of its garments in France, within its own workshop, Vetra now boasts over nine decades of expertise in the production of workwear. Only a high standard of quality, made possible by complete control over production, has enabled it to endure and remain independent in its strategic choices.

Warehouse & Co. is a Japanese brand founded in Osaka in 1995 by brothers Kenichi and Koji Shiotani. A member of the famous Osaka Five, it has followed one demanding principle since its beginnings: “the faithful reproduction of authentic vintage clothing”, studying original garments down to their yarns, weaving, stitching, machinery and manufacturing techniques.

Selvedge denim, sweatshirts, T-shirts, chinos and military clothing are developed to recreate not only the appearance of 20th-century American garments, but also their texture and the way they age. This almost archaeological approach to reproduction extends to even the least visible details, making Warehouse a reference for vintage-inspired clothing Made in Japan.

Whitesville is a Japanese Toyo Enterprise brand dedicated to classic American sportswear from the 1950s. T-shirts, sweatshirts and Award Jackets are developed through the study of vintage garments, with particular attention paid to original fabrics, proportions and manufacturing techniques.

Its iconic 2-Pack T-Shirt is made in Japan from dense cotton jersey using a tubular construction with no side seams, a characteristic feature of vintage American T-shirts. Substantial fabric, carefully constructed collars and simple yet robust finishing perfectly capture Whitesville’s approach: recreating the quality and comfort of classic American basics through Japanese craftsmanship.

XX Development is a small Japanese manufacturer based in Gifu Prefecture, bringing together several labels including No Comply Jeans, SURE Manufacturing and Wico and Pals. Its team, the “Sewing Boys”, shares a passion for vintage American clothing, distinctive fabrics and Japanese craftsmanship.

Rather than following a traditional seasonal calendar, XX Development works through small production projects, developed according to the fabrics, ideas and inspirations of the moment. We have worked together since 2022, building a particularly close relationship around fabrics, fits and manufacturing that has resulted in several XX Development × Flâneurs collaborations.

Yuketen is an American-Japanese brand founded in 1985 by Yuki Matsuda, a Japanese designer and founder of Meg Company, a multi-brand group based in Hermosa Beach, California, which includes brands such as Yuketen, Monitaly, Epperson Mountaineering, and Chamula.

Each Yuketen product is the result of thorough reflection and research and is manufactured solely by seasoned, highly skilled hands with years of experience.

Particular attention is given to the selection of all components and raw materials to ensure the longevity and durability of the products. Yuketen selects soft, supple oil-tanned leathers from America, full-grain leathers and suedes tanned in Tuscany, or vegetable-tanned leathers from Mexico using only energy and natural resources according to a primitive and traditional method.

The pride of Yuketen comes from the fact that their shoes bring joy to all men and women with an adventurous spirit, while choosing craftsmanship and sustainable, thoughtful consumption.
