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.

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.
