Layering in Amekaji: How to Dress Through the Seasons

A Practical Guide to Styling Rugged, Vintage-Inspired Looks Year-Round

Layering isn’t just about staying warm in Amekaji style, it’s a form of self-expression. Whether you're navigating a rainy spring morning or a crisp autumn afternoon, smart layering lets you build looks that are functional, comfortable, and effortlessly cool.

At Amekaji Supply, we believe every layer should tell a story, from your heavyweight tee to your waxed jacket. Here’s how to layer like a pro, Amekaji-style, across every season.

🔻 1. The Foundation: Base Layers

Your base layer sets the tone for your entire outfit. It should feel great against the skin, be breathable, and carry the kind of subtle detail that shines through when outer layers are removed.

• Heavyweight cotton T-shirts – Look for boxy fits and faded tones
• Henley tops – Buttoned collars add vintage depth under open shirts
• Thermal long sleeves (autumn/winter) – Adds warmth without bulk

💡 Our Washed Henley Tees and Faded Graphic Tees are perfect all-year staples.

🟫 2. The Statement: Mid Layers

This is where Amekaji really comes to life. Mid layers add both warmth and texture, giving your outfit personality.

• Chore shirts – A workwear classic that pairs well with anything
• Fleece sweatshirts – Raglan sleeves and chest pockets for visual balance
• Corduroy or flannel shirts – Add colour, contrast, and texture

Pro Tip: Keep your shirt untucked and let the hem peek under outer layers, the lived-in vibe is part of the charm.

🧥 3. The Shield: Outer Layers

Your outerwear should be both protective and expressive. It’s the final piece that pulls the whole look together.

• Oil-waxed cotton jackets – Repel wind and rain, age beautifully
• Denim or canvas work jackets – Bring structure and weight to your outfit
• Utility vests or overshirts (spring/summer) – A lightweight solution for transitional weather

🧣 5. Finish Strong: Accessories

No Amekaji look is complete without the right finishing touches. Accessories bring practicality and personality to your outfit.

• 🧢 Corduroy caps – Classic and vintage-coded
• 🧤 Ribbed knit gloves – Keep hands warm, rugged look
• 🧣 Wool or waffle scarves – Adds layering depth and contrast
• 🎒 Crossbody or waxed canvas bags – Function meets retro flair
