Hi it's Shohei.
We have 2 styles of tielocken coats a few in stock. They have been popular among our customers and left only a few pieces at this moment. I realized that I haven't shared details with you and wanted to write about them before they are gone.
Optical illusion
The first one I would like to write about is "Moleskin Tielocken Coat". The black one has been sold out, and only 1 in beige, size small is in stock.
At the first glance, it looks plain made with brushed moleskin fabric.
However, there are "Sen (lines)" on some points conservatively.
Sleeve, side and,
welt of pockets.
The "Sen" parts are made with tonal Nylon grosgrain fabric that has luster on its surface.
These vertically placed lines guide eyes of others vertically. It means the lines create optical illusion that makes to be looked taller when you wear it.
There is another trick hidden in the line parts. Did you notice it? To be honest, I didn't.
Let's look the lines closer again. Perhaps it's easier to find the trick when you look at the left ones.
Did you find it?

Ok, here is the answer.
The lines are a bit wider as going down to the hem. It creates another optical illusion to be looked smarter.
Creating optical illusion is prevalent throughout all forms of Japanese traditional art, house, garden and so on.
Asymmetric cracks
This Kintsugi inspired one is only left Navy one in size Medium.
The asymmetric design is derive from Wabisabi aesthetics that cherish imperfections. By placing the Kintsugi design only around the hem, it also guides others' eyes vertically.
Plus, this one is insulated! Light and warm!
Style sample
171cm in Medium
He went 1 size bigger on this coat because he wanted to wear it roughly, but he must look good in small too.
The sleeves have enough room to be worn over thick items like sweaters. This also gives modern and relax impressions.
Tying the belt emphasize the "A" shape.
It also look different when fastening the button.
I'm sure these coats will be your good partners in this winter.
Thank you!
