Based out of Japan's Iwate Prefecture, one of the northernmost provinces, Gorsch was born into a quiet rural life, taking inspiration from antique German tailoring and early proto-workwear. The garments are beautifully constructed, frequently making use of deadstock vintage textiles, with tailored silhouettes and unisex styling.

Gorsch's Fall/Winter 2024 styles are a continuation of the Spring/Summer collection, taking inspiration from the wardrobe and personal style of a local grape farmer, Mr. Sasaki, and his wife, Kanako. They run a small farm in Iwate's Shiwa District, growing grapes for white, red, and orange natural wines using what Gorsch refer to as "natural farming principles" - having purchased and restored an abandoned vineyard to produce naturally fermented wines.

With names like Bauer & Bauerin, both meaning "farmer" in German, the styles are understated - "simple" in appearance yet deceptively complex in execution. The rustic undertones in each piece's design help to balance the more formal silhouettes, creating elevated casual garments that fit easily into a winter wardrobe, whether you're in the country or the city: you'll look your absolute best.

The Melton Jacket is a heavy wool outer layer that takes inspiration from vintage hunting jackets. It's extremely utilitarian, with five welted button pockets on the front, two internal pockets in the lining, and a large rear hunting pocket. It closes up with a six button placket, but the collar sits naturally with the top button undone, giving a more formal silhouette.

It's made from a mottled melton wool fabric that's heavy and warm. Thick and initially stiff, the body will relax over time as the melton breaks in as a result of wear, softening into the shape of the wearer's body. Though the shell is tough and scratchy, the body and sleeves are fully lined with soft and smooth cupra, making layering easy.
