Hello! I'm Haru, a fashion fanatic!
With today's high reaching 36 degrees Celsius,
we are continuing to have some significantly hot days.
Yet, leather jackets are selling well.
A KHOKI leather jacket sold today, too;
after all, good items are chosen regardless of the temperature or season.
Among such leather jackets,
there is an item from a brand that stands out
currently in the store.
It is…
OVERCOAT
-Leather Double Zip-up Blouson-
I have seen countless leather jackets until now,
but this one stands out for its minimal and clean impression.
However, the moment you slip it on,
you are amazed by its high level of perfection and its
meticulous garment construction.
OVERCOAT garments
do not have a strong visual impact
like KHOKI or kolor; they feature a simple design.
Yet, the moment it catches your eye,
you are drawn in by its presence.
High-quality materials you can appreciate by touching them.
A fit that makes you feel as if it were
made specifically for you once you put it on.
People often say that OVERCOAT
is close to luxury brands,
but I personally feel it is closer to
haute couture (high-end custom tailoring).
It is not the kind of luxury that flaunts its brilliance,
but rather clothing that doesn't stand out itself,
keeping the "protagonist" as the wearer, while
adding a touch of elegance to them.
That is only possible because of designer Mr. Daigo,
who has drafted tens of thousands of patterns
and has a thorough understanding of the structures
of clothing and the human body.
What is worth noting about this leather jacket
is the shoulder construction,
which achieves a comfortable fit
despite the use of leather.
Thanks to a pattern that calculates the roundness
of the shoulders and the movement of the arms,
it naturally conforms to your shoulders when worn,
creating a groundbreaking structure that allows for
beautiful drapes and a stress-free fit.
Unlike standard leather jackets,
this model has a slightly tighter build,
which would normally result in a restrictive feel.
The structure created to eliminate that
only comes from a deep knowledge of clothing and materials.
While maintaining the stripped-back, minimalist design typical of OVERCOAT,
the leather's texture and beautiful pattern stand out,
resulting in a piece that can be worn for years
without being swayed by trends.
The way it conforms more to your body the more you wear it,
evolving into a character uniquely your own,
is part of the charm of this jacket.
Naturally, they have been extremely
particular about the materials as well,
resulting in the beautiful luster and supple texture
that only high-quality leather can offer.
A little side note: Mr. Daigo has an extensive network
and close ties with material manufacturers,
so it seems OVERCOAT even uses the same leather
that Comme des Garçons loves.
I can confidently say that anyone who touches
this smooth, soft, high-quality texture
will be convinced of its quality and choose it.
Additionally, the interior features a luxurious quilted lining,
and it utilizes a double zip for the front.
By adjusting the balance of the zippers,
you can show off your inner layers
or change the silhouette,
allowing you to enjoy various styles with just one garment.
Leather items are sometimes perceived as "heavy" or "stiff,"
but this blouson has a lightweight feel
that shatters that impression.
You can just relax and throw it on over a shirt or a cut-and-sew
to complete a stylish look.
Because it is simple,
it doesn't matter what you pair it with,
making it a leather jacket that naturally
blends into your everyday life.
For those of you looking for a truly great leather piece
that will be a centerpiece in your wardrobe for years to come.
Please do come by the store to experience
this fit and presence for yourself.
