Tornado Mart - Early 00s Textured Crocodile Skin Blazer

Tornado Mart is a Japanese fashion brand established in 1997 by designer Tatsuya Sato in Tokyo. The brand developed a design approach that merges structured tailoring with elements drawn from streetwear, creating a balance between formal construction and utilitarian detail. It became known for its consistent use of varied materials and recognizable visual patterns, often integrating references such as military garments, animal motifs, and textured fabrics. Particular attention has been given to its pant designs, which feature measured cuts alongside features like custom hardware and non-standard pocket placements. Tornado Mart has also participated in collaborations with international brands and artists, expanding its visibility while maintaining the stylistic direction it has followed since inception, rooted in a combination of traditional garment techniques and experimental design frameworks.

This silver surfer-esque blazer from Tornado Mart adorns like a dystopian garment. Featuring two adjustable flap pockets, it provides utility for carrying small essentials while maintaining a structured silhouette. A hidden interior pocket offers concealed storage, enhancing the garment’s functional appeal. Custom “Tornado Mart” engraved buttons reinforce the brand’s identity, while a high lapel top button allows the jacket to be fully enclosed, evoking elements of German military uniform design. The entire outer is coated in a textured crocodile skin pattern over a smooth base fabric, merging visual complexity with a clean tactile surface. A piece that communicates through structure and detail, ideal for those who prefer understated expression with purposeful design.
