If you haven’t gotten to Tokyo yet, don’t worry. MR PORTER’s new Japanese capsule collection is the next best thing to a personal buying trip.

The MR PORTER team says that what they love about Tokyo is that style there isn’t performative, it’s instinctive. A mechanic grabbing lunch or a shopkeeper sweeping the sidewalk somehow looks more considered and cool than most men out there. That sensibility comes from a culture rooted in craftsmanship, proportion and an appreciation for how clothing evolves with wear. Herewith, a few of our favorite pieces.
