Mitsugu Tanabe is the founder of the TANABE MERIYASU factory, which is also home to the JACKMAN brand. Inspired by baseball outfits, the brand offers a wardrobe of clean, well-cut, modern basics for optimum comfort. The factory even produced the official training garments for the Japanese Olympic team in 1964. They use the same machines as back then, the process is slower, but quality comes first.
