Jelado is a Japanese heritage clothing brand founded in 1999 by designer Akihiro Omura, created with a passion for vintage American garments and traditional workwear. The name “Jelado” comes from a variation on the word gelato and reflects the brand’s playful yet reverent approach to classic styles. Jelado produces meticulously crafted reproductions and original pieces—such as denim, shirts, jackets and knits—made in Japan with careful attention to authentic fabrics, vintage-inspired construction techniques and period-accurate details.
