Anatomic jacket-
 in paper/cotton composition. 
Issei Fujita's designs feature design elements that function in a dynamic scope. The wearer, according to their own anatomy, movements and mannerisms, bring a kind of realization of the garments to its final state, which is as unique as we are as individuals. 
The anatomic jacket's back panel and shoulder seams see the breaking of static lines in an unconventional way. He has utilized folding and equally spaced, intermittent stitch points to create a crevasse which opens with the wearers movements. This concept, first seen in Avantindietro in shirting with delicate fabrics, is carried over into outerwear with great success.

Anatomic l/s shirt -
in charcoal grey cotton.
The anatomic long sleeve shirt is a revised raglan with shoulder pieces that break from the sleeves, rather than running the length to the cuff. The seams to rear of the shoulders end in a dart, whereas in the front, seams converge into a single seam to form the classic raglan.
