MARK.S “C Jacket” (Black)
-HEMP SILK NEP
A staple of MARK.S, the “C Jacket” has been continuously offered since the brand’s inception.
It is characterized by its versatility, naturally blending into a wide variety of outfits. While it has the ease of a garment you can throw on daily, it also possesses the clean, tailored look expected of a jacket.
The generously sized pockets placed throughout are a signature detail of this jacket. They not only provide a visual presence but also offer the practicality of storing your personal essentials.
The fabric is woven in a 3/1 mini-herringbone pattern, using hemp for the warp and silk slub yarn (TOP yarn) for the weft.
Thanks to the warp-faced weave, where the hemp warp dominates the surface, the silk neps in the weft do not appear overly prominent, but rather emerge from deep within the fabric to create a rich, textured expression.
While retaining the firmness characteristic of hemp, the silk used in the weft provides a smooth, supple texture. By combining natural materials with different properties, the jacket achieves both a structured silhouette and a soft, comfortable feel. The material weight is suitable for year-round wear, regardless of the season.
The fabric finish leaves behind natural wrinkles, similar to those from sun-drying, and the garment is washed after sewing. This avoids over-refining the material’s innate character, resulting in a soft feel that conforms to the body from the very first wear.
It can be worn as a set with the “DOMENICO PANTS” made of the same material. Both pieces are easy to incorporate individually, making them versatile for everything from daily styling to more formal occasions.
All MARK.S products are sewn in Japan. Although they occasionally use vintage, deadstock, or hand-woven fabrics from overseas, the sewing—which forms the foundation of their craftsmanship—is consistently performed in Japan.

MARK.S is a brand that values the importance of receiving clothing through pure "sensation," rather than understanding it through words or logic.
In a modern era overflowing with information and explanations, clothing is sometimes discussed through words long before one ever touches the actual garment. However, for things that truly captivate the heart, reasons and criteria for evaluation are unnecessary.
There is a beauty in historical textiles, boro, and long-cherished vintage wear that words alone cannot convey. The craftsmanship of MARK.S began with the pursuit of this deeply personal and intimate connection that forms between clothing and the individual.
The designer personally collects hand-woven and hand-spun fabrics, as well as unused antique and deadstock textiles, from all over the world. Focusing on natural materials, they create garments in small batches in Japan, breathing life into the history and unique character of each textile.
Using traditional Amami Oshima mud-dyeing techniques that utilize mud, tree bark, and iron-rich soil, the brand expresses colors with depth and fluctuation that can only be born from the nature of that specific land. Depending on the fabric, they also use antique looms that function similarly to hand-weaving looms, allowing the material to be woven slowly over time.
At its core lies a set of values different from efficiency-driven mass production. To create clothing that does not waste materials, remains unaffected by passing trends, and evolves with the wearer into the future—each MARK.S garment is etched with the designer’s aesthetic sensibilities and the traces of time.
The designer’s name and background are not disclosed. This is based on the belief that one should see, touch, and feel the product itself before being influenced by such information.
The “MARK” in the brand name signifies a sign, a record, a trace, or a symbol. The “S” adds layers of meaning, such as Special and Supreme.

The name MARK.S embodies the desire to leave behind one's aesthetic sense as a mark—an impression—within the clothing.
