How to break out of the ordinary Chester Coat! How to dress men in 6 ways not to be mass-produced?

The “chester coat” has a strong image of dressy and cool, and is gaining popularity as an item that can create a mood of adult elegance just by wearing it. Recently, with the rise of fast-fashion brands, the Chester coat can be purchased for less than 10,000 yen, and this has given the impression that the coat is becoming more and more popular among a wider range of people. In this issue, we will introduce some of the most popular snapshots of the chester coat that show what makes it stand out from the crowd!

Out of the Ordinary Chester Coat (1) “Sport Mix for a Crisp Look!

This is a coordination that dares to combine the sports taste that has become a major trend from the world of top mode to Tokyo street with the chester coat. Rather than combining a chester coat with half-heartedly casual attire, the current mood is to mix and match with a sporty mix. A knit cap and sneakers are enough to express a well rounded coordination.

Gerry Lorenzo, the designer of FEAR OF GOD, also showed a mixed style of chester coats with a strong taste during his AW 2020/21 Milan collection. The combination of sweatpants and cut-and-sew with a more sporty feel accentuates the appeal of the chester coat.

De-ordinary Chester Coat Wearing (2) “Chester Coat by itself makes a difference!

Chester coats, which are classified as tailored coats, are representative of items whose silhouettes differ markedly depending on whether the tailoring is good or bad. For example, many inexpensive Chester coats have a “boxy silhouette” that is not narrowed from the shoulders to the waist to cut costs, while a well-tailored Chester coat has a “three-dimensional curved silhouette” with a gentle V line from the shoulders to the waist. In terms of overall tailoring, the more expensive chester coats are designed and tailored more tightly, so they are thoroughly “tightened where tight and loosened where loose,” which not only looks cooler, but also has the advantage of being easier to move around in.

LARDINI coats are known for their use of materials and tailoring.

You can also try “Chester variant” such as polo coat.

The polo coat is a tailored coat that is said to have been derived from the Chester coat. Polo coats have features that are not similar to Chester coats, such as “back belt,” “flap pockets,” “double-breasted 6B tailoring,” “turn-up cuffs (folded cuffs) for classic ones,” and “authentic material is camel. Since this coat was born for polo players, the impression is more sporty and casual than the Chester coat. If you feel a little bit hard, we recommend you to choose a double chester coat as it will make a difference.
