2021SS Spring Outerwear Special! 3 “chic” coats from Japanese brands

In 2021, the earliest ever spring storm was observed in the Kanto area. Many of you must be starting to feel the footsteps of spring, and are beginning to be interested in light coats that seem to be breezy and tailored. This season, we would like to recommend Japanese “chic” coats. Japanese brands are the very best of the Japanese spirit and Western sensibility, and they are highly regarded overseas as well, with many overseas industry people using them in their private lives. In this issue, we focus on “Japanese brand’s “chic” spring coats,” and carefully select and introduce the hottest items along with their coordinates!

Japanese brand spring outerwear (1) “Fresh combination of elegant linen and generous width!

The “duster coat” is one of the most popular spring coats that you should definitely adopt this season. The coat’s default features, such as its long length, spacious silhouette, and lightweight tailoring that is ideal for early spring, all of which are unique features of coats born to protect against dust, match the current trends of the day, making it a hot item that is slowly gaining popularity, especially among fashion-conscious people. It is “SOPHNET.” that pays attention to the long-established workwear brand “YARMO” of Britain that develops such a duster coat as a steel plate part number, joins hands, and develops a duster coat newly. While capturing the characteristics of a duster coat, the design tuned to an urban style elevates dressing.

This is “chic”! The high quality linen material used is reminiscent of the original duster coat.

According to some sources, linen was used for the original duster coat. Following suit, this coat is made of carefully selected linen. High-quality linen from BRISBANE MOSS, a fabric manufacturer with roots in the U.K. similar to YARMO, was used. The combination of the unique texture of the linen and the modern drop-shoulder silhouette with its broad shoulders creates a stylish mood.

Japanese brand spring outerwear (2) “ATON’s trench coat, a modern design sublimated from a coat made about 100 years ago.

ATON” is gaining popularity for its simple and standard item proposals that emphasize designs that take into account the beauty of the wearer’s appearance and the use of quality materials that are carefully selected. This time, we picked up a standard coat based on a trench coat from about 100 years ago. While reproducing retro details of those days in many places, the oversized silhouette pursues lightness and comfort by tailoring it in a single piece, which is perfect for today’s basic style. The original West Point fabric, which is thick yet soft with just the right amount of luster and firmness, is made using only carefully selected cotton from California, and carefully woven on shuttle looms at a loom in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. By focusing on the beauty of not only the front side but also the back side, it is designed to look great even when taken off.

This is “chic”! Classic detail design that will satisfy even mature men who prefer authentic military style.

Trench coats have by far the largest number of parts among coats, and it is somewhat unfortunate that the more lightweight they are, the more they lose their original authenticity and dignity. In this respect, ATON’s trench coats are made in a single piece, and while pursuing lightness, the details have not been given up, so you can wear it open to let the wind blow it about in a light manner, or close the front to give it a bold impression, which is also a great look. The trench coat’s original functional specifications, such as the fold-down wind-shielding chin strap and the easy-to-adjust sleeve straps with grommets, will satisfy even those who prefer authentic military style.

Japanese brand spring outerwear (3) “Uses a material that combines the contradictory functions of windproofness and elasticity! “nonnative’s collarless coat.

The Tokyo brand “nonnative” transmits new standard wear that adapts to various places and situations by extracting “function” from the universal archives and re-editing the silhouette to suit the current trend while focusing on “comfort. This collarless coat, which uses “Pliantex®” fabric developed by Daiichiori, is one of the items that perfectly reflects the brand’s world view. Pliantex® is a non-coat, non-laminated fabric that successfully combines windproofing and elasticity, two functions that were previously thought to be impossible. It is fast-drying, supple to the touch, and non-steaming, as well as being recyclable, making it a fabric that is friendly to both people and the environment. The nonnative coats are finished by making full use of such functional fabrics and three-dimensional pattern work. Its comfort and beautiful silhouette go without saying.
