It is a dressing style based on mid-20th century American workwear, military uniforms, and denim clothing, emphasizing retro, rugged, practical, and durability. The following are its core features and origins:
1. Etymology
'Amekaji' comes from the transliteration of the Japanese pronunciation 'Ame Kaji' for 'American casual'.

Leather products, such as leather boots (Red Wing, White's Boots) and leather jackets, enhance the rugged temperament.

Worker culture: Clothing design is adapted to the labor scene and reflects a pragmatic spirit.
Western spirit: emphasizes individualism and freedom of pioneering adventure.
Military Style: The uniforms of the US military after World War II influenced American civilian fashion.
