At Le Block by Solis, we are proud to spotlight Homme Plissé Issey Miyake, a brand that has revolutionized menswear through its groundbreaking approach to pleating. Far beyond a simple aesthetic choice, the pleating technique at the heart of Homme Plissé is a true fusion of art, technology, and practicality—offering garments that are as functional as they are beautiful.
A Revolutionary Pleating Process
Unlike traditional pleating, where fabric is pre-pleated before being cut and sewn, Homme Plissé Issey Miyake employs a unique “garment pleating” method. Here’s how it works:
The garment is first cut and sewn in an oversized shape, using specially developed fibers with memory.
The finished garment is then sandwiched between sheets of paper and compressed in a heat press, shrinking it to its final size and locking in the pleats.
This process creates permanent pleats that give the fabric remarkable properties: resistance to wrinkles, exceptional lightness, quick drying, and natural elasticity.
The result is a three-dimensional textile that maintains its shape while offering maximum freedom of movement and adapting perfectly to every body type.

One of the standout features of Homme Plissé Issey Miyake garments is their ease of care. The permanent pleats require no ironing and naturally return to their form after washing. Simply machine wash at low temperature, hang to air dry, and the garment is ready to wear—making these pieces ideal for the modern man seeking effortless sophistication.
The brand’s collections are filled with contemporary silhouettes: pleated shirts, structured jackets, and sophisticated trousers, all designed to move with the wearer and to suit a wide range of occasions, from daily life to travel and special events.
