說起來，DIGAWEL也在業界打滾有13年，稱不上年輕，但也老大不小了。同期的 Sasquatchfabrix、FACETASM 也已經以各自強烈的形象各據一方，但這並不是說 DIGAWEL 乏人問津，相反的，比精簡素面多一點玩味，卻不到震撼人心的誇張視覺表現，DIGAWEL 秉著一種「轉大人」的中間態度抓準 25~35 代的治裝心情，在買手界實質佔有一席地位。

「穩定」一直是品牌給人的印象，到位的細節、完整的收邊，微寬落肩卻不鬆散的結構總給人一股難以言喻的安心感，一切都要等到實著之後才能表述了。攤開 2020ss 形象，「是的，這是 DIGAWEL。」的心裡話隨即冒出，同樣舒適的用色，看了就帶感的面料，延續 2019aw 略為收窄的版型，本季 西村浩平(Kohei Nishimura) 結合戶外元素與正裝輪廓作為設計主軸，具有強烈的實驗性與辨識度。

首先春夏季節先讓人聯想到山海，以前者「山」為題，DIGAWEL 在炎熱的夏季拔掉許多原來凸顯嚴謹氣質的鈕扣，在正式的西裝、定番襯衫，甚至是帶有軍事感的背心上以登山揹包慣用的扣具取代，且扣具可隨造型變換連接位置，因此可想像不對稱的穿搭方法會是在本季可以多加嘗試的一環。而項目中的背心單品除了有基本使用劍道布製作帶有粒子感的款式之外，西村浩平 也另外特別用上杜邦最新科技纖維，屬於軍事等級的抗刀割面料詮釋，屬於這次一大看點。

然而品牌最為人知，也是每季熱賣的款式還是屬下身單品最為大宗，定番式的寬鬆西裝褲同樣沒缺席，並且依照主題在形式上也分別有戴上扣具細節、魔鬼氈綁帶、側面大面口袋等暗示山系質感的樣貌可選擇。總之如要道盡褲款要點，「腰間細節」不論裁片縫線，或是反摺、吊帶系統都絕對是後續值得細細品味的地方。

至於去年相當受到關注的「office wear」 系列這次將腦筋動到布邊上，以類似「赤耳」操作方式，簡單把系列字樣繡在上面，低調的惡趣味盡顯其中 ; 其餘聯名方面 onetone 的 Lee 聯名、復刻 80年代 吉田包的背包款式也皆是不可錯過的單品。

隨著設計師年紀漸長（？）品牌氣質經過十幾年的更迭也陪著愛好者一步一腳印往未來長大、前進。就像開頭所說，DIGAWEL是一個慢速播放「轉大人」階段的品牌，而觀察這樣的過程，是比被高高在上的老屁股指點道理，還來得有趣一些吧？
