Although the casualization of business fashion has progressed, there are still many situations where one must wear a suit, even in summer. Apparel companies propose summer suits made with the latest materials almost every season.
Workman, which excels in high-performance workwear, will confidently launch the "Summer Suit Jacket & Pants with CALCULO" as a "suit that can be worn comfortably even in summer" for Spring/Summer 2025. What exactly makes it "comfortable even in summer"? We spoke to Shinnosuke Kawata, Chief Buyer of Product Development Department 1 at Workman Co., Ltd., with assistance from Koji Yamada, the official ambassador for Workman. (*For convenience, we refer to these products as "suits" in this article, but the Workman products highlighted here are sold separately as jackets and pants and can be worn as a set-up.)
Koji Yamada (hereafter, Yamada)The first suit released by Workman came out in 2021, which I collaboratively developed, called "SOLOTEX Reversible Work Suit Jacket, 2WAY Work Suit Pants." It coincided with the period when Workman's popularity was rapidly expanding, so it received extensive media coverage.
