Product Description

This wool outer garment was tailored in Japan during the early to mid Showa era (circa 1920s–1950s), a period that marked a major transition in Japanese clothing culture.

Created at a time when traditional Japanese dress was gradually giving way to Western-style clothing, this piece embodies the everyday life, values, and aesthetic sensibilities of that era. Rather than relying on bold decoration, it leaves a quiet yet unmistakable impression through its restrained presence.

The cape-like silhouette drapes naturally from the shoulders, subtly changing its expression with movement and enhancing the wearer’s posture and gestures. Its three-dimensional structure is free from excessive ornamentation, allowing it to blend seamlessly into contemporary wardrobes while adding depth and character to modern styling.

The texture of the aged wool, shaped by decades of time, carries a depth and authenticity that mass-produced garments cannot replicate. The moment it is held, one can feel the weight of history embedded within the fabric.

Outerwear from this period has become increasingly scarce, and well-preserved examples are disappearing from the market year by year. Beyond its function as clothing, this piece holds strong value as an archive garment that conveys the atmosphere and cultural context of its time.

Recommended for those who seek quiet individuality in their daily wear, and for those who find modern clothing lacking in depth. Experience the sensation of wearing history.

Please note: The item will be shipped in a compressed state, and wrinkles may occur. Other items worn by the model or used as styling props are not included.
