Overview

Tagline

“It’s about time we made clothes that grown men can wear.”

Papas is a Japanese men’s casualwear brand launched in 1986 by founding designer Taro Aramaki. Its name comes from Ernest Hemingway’s nickname, “Papa,” and its concept is “clothes that energize fathers across Japan.” With a thorough commitment to being “ordinary,” the brand centers on natural clothing that brings out the wearer’s individuality. It focuses on unpretentious casualwear that feels comfortable from the moment it is put on, developed with high-quality materials and Japanese craftsmanship.
