Five iron-brand outerwear that even a beginner in vintage clothing can get the winter men’s look right [Coats].

Due to the rising cost of raw materials and labor, all apparel brands have been forced to raise their selling prices over the past few years. It is not unusual to see the selling price of outerwear, in particular, nearly doubled compared to a few years ago. Perhaps because of this, this year, I received a number of inquiries from people who said, “I want to buy new outerwear, but I don’t want to buy brand-name outerwear because it is too expensive, and I don’t want to buy cheap outerwear from unknown brands. Are there any good options?” I don’t want to buy brand new outerwear because it is too expensive, and I don’t want to touch cheap outerwear of unknown brands. When we suggest “vintage outerwear” to these “outerwear refugees,” the response is surprisingly positive.

Focusing on secondhand outerwear that can be bought now from the “must-have brands!

Vintage outerwear is much more reasonable than new clothes, unless it is a valuable vintage item or a collaboration item that sold out immediately. One of the appeals of vintage clothing is that its unique, worn-in look gives your outfit a big-time look just by throwing it on. Surprisingly, many people who have never worn vintage clothing have responded positively, saying, “If it’s the furthest outerwear from my bare skin, I may be able to wear it without any resistance. Moreover, vintage clothing is booming these days. I think it’s fine to enjoy the authentic feel of real secondhand clothes, since there are many new clothes that have been processed to look vintage.

However, there is another concern about secondhand clothes besides ” resistance to wear “. It is ” ” that there are too many choices and it is hard to know what to choose. In particular, outerwear is a category that has a large amount of circulating items such as minor brand outerwear that may have been developed by privately owned custom-made salon stores, jackets that were worn as real work clothes, military surplus items, and so on, in addition to clothes that were simply released by brands in the past. Therefore, this time we will focus only on “brand-name outerwear that even beginners in vintage clothing can easily adopt,” and introduce the charm of these items along with their noteworthy coordinates.

Often, even secondhand outerwear that is called a ” masterpiece ” is sold for more than the list price at the time. We think it is too expensive and a hurdle for those who want to get their hands on them at first, so this time we picked up mainly the ones that are well-known brands, but are definitely easier to buy and incorporate into your coordination compared to the current ones. I hope this will be helpful for your future shopping!

Iron plate secondhand outerwear (1) “Burberry’s ‘trench coat'”

Burberry” is positioned as the standard of trench coats in the same way as “Levi’s 501” for jeans and “Champion’s Reverse Weave” for sweatshirts. It is still a staple of the brand, and continues to attract strong support from a wide range of people as a presence synonymous with the trench coat. The model below is wearing a trench coat that was distributed in the 1970s and 1980s. The cotton fabric, which has been worn to give it a rich, rich texture, and the exquisite khaki-based iridescent coloring add dignity to the autumn and winter outfits. The trench coat has a lot of authentic and elaborate details such as chin flap, epaulettes, storm flap, and belt with D-can, but because it is secondhand, it can be purchased at a reasonable price, which makes it a great value.

One of the key features of Burberry’s vintage trench coats is that many of them have through pockets that allow access to the pockets of the jacket worn inside, even when the front is closed. They are so popular that it is no exaggeration to say that they are always handled in stores that deal in brand-name vintage clothing. If you want to find an individual in good condition, we recommend checking out davids clothing,anemone, no pain no gain, etc., which provided us with the coat this time.

Aquascutum” is a prestigious British brand famous for its trench coats and stainless coats, similar to Burberry. The brand name is a coined word combining the Latin words “aqua” (water) and “scutum” (shield), and is derived from the original fabric developed by the founder, John Emory, which was made of wool with a waterproof finish. There are various theories, but it is said that it was this brand that tailored the raglan sleeves invented by General Raglan. The authentic stainless-steel collar coat with raglan sleeves produced by a brand with such historical background will surely give you a graceful and elegant atmosphere reminiscent of an English gentleman just by putting on the coat.

Aquascutum, which is a royal brand of trench and stainless coats but has a core atmosphere that is not too famous as Burberry, gives the impression of being favored by the clothing-loving public. One of the appeals of this brand is that you can create a ” Genin-ness ” when you wear this coat, due to the historical background of the brand, which has strength in raincoats. It is distributed at a price range that is easier to purchase compared to Burberry’s used clothing, so if you are interested, please check it out. If you look for it at the stores that deal in used Burberry clothes introduced above, or at Safari, Doracaena, ILLMINATE, or JAM, you are likely to find a good unit.

Ironclad vintage outerwear (3) “Mackintosh’s “rubber pull coat””

Mackintosh” is an authentic brand that has been providing waterproof coats to English gentlemen for about 30 years longer than the Burberry and Aquascutum brands introduced above. The rubberized coat with excellent waterproof function is a famous material that has been an icon of the brand since its establishment. Mackintosh has been actively collaborating with brands, and when you look into the archives, you will be surprised to find that they have actually collaborated with such brands as well. When you look through the archives, you can actually find rubberized coats of all kinds of collaboration models. One example is the “Maison Kitsune” × “Mackintosh” rubberized coat developed in 2010. The use of secondary materials such as the switch of corduroy fabric and gold dotted buttons throughout gives the coat a glamorous appeal that is different from the in-line lineup.

Mackintosh is a brand with a long history, but perhaps because of its active collaboration with avant-garde brands, it has a modern atmosphere that is different from other brands called long-established in a good sense. In addition to Maison Kitsune, there have been collaborations with brands such as Maison Margiela and Haiku, which have gained support for their highly design-oriented collections, and all of them attracted a lot of attention when they were announced. In addition to brand collaborations, the models that have been specially ordered by major Japanese boutiques are also a good target. The special-order models are often fine-tuned to fit the itch, such as changing the fitting and length to fit the Japanese body shape based on the standard model, or reprinting colors that were available in the past.

Iron plate vintage outerwear (4) “Old England ‘duffle coat'”

The duffle coat is one of the coats with a long history that cannot be dismissed, and it is a strong favorite in secondhand clothing. Originally worn by fishermen in Northern Europe as warm clothes for work at sea, it is said that the duffle coat was later worn by the Royal Navy. The brands that are famous for duffle coats in Japan are Invertia, Grover All, and “Old England” picked up this time. The duffel coat that the model is wearing is a “Old England” brand. The duffle coat worn by the model is characterized by its 90s-like long length and thick, loose fitting arms. It matches the oversized style that has been gaining attention over the past few years, and is sure to create a coordinated look with a strong presence just by throwing it on.

Many vintage Old England duffle coats have a fitting that retains a rough-and-tumble feel in a good way, making them a good choice for those who prefer an oversized fit. The toggle buttons on a duffle coat give it a cute look, for better or worse, so I think it’s more menswear-like and cooler to wear it in a relaxed fit with as much power and pounding as the above coordinate. It’s like the duffle coat worn on the cover of Oasis’ single ‘ Roll With It. The image of an authentic coat made by a long-established French store is another point I can personally endorse.

In this age of street chic, normcore, and other clean-cut styles, it is good to pursue a masculine style that dares to go against the grain. For such people, we recommend Babur’s vintage coats. All of Bubur’s outerwear produced before 2006, when wax was improved, are finished to the point of being manly, with a smell and stickiness peculiar to wax. Of particular note is the ” Northumbria,” a model with a strong presence that uses thicker 8-ounce fabric than the standard Bidail and extends the length of the garment to mid-length. BABUA’s hip-length wax jackets, such as the Bidail and Beaufort, are popular, but a mid-length jacket like this that can be worn like a coat can easily differentiate it from the others.

Secondhand Babur clothing varies widely in condition, and some Sales Stors even carry pieces that are so battered that one wonders if they are even allowed to be sold. Especially, the color of old Bubur with faded coloring looks good in photos, so it is tempting to buy online, but unless the store is very trustworthy, it is recommended to check the actual item at the store before buying. Second Street Online has a service that allows you to order used clothes from a nearby store for free, so you can make use of this service to efficiently find the ideal unit.
