Description

The Lot. 405 Sumi Dyed Black Herringbone Tweed Atelier Coat from Taiga Takahashi T.T is inspired by tailored American casual work and British engineering coats from the 1930s. This Atelier Coat is crafted from an exclusively developed 16 oz. Herringbone Twill Tweed developed and loomed exclusively for T.T in Japan, using Suffolk British wool for a combination of texture, flexibility, and durability. Reimagined from yesteryear with refinement, the black yarns are dyed with Sumi Ink used in calligraphy and derived from natural charcoal extracts for a unique tone that will evolve with the wearer. Guided by the Applied Archaeology ethos and Taiga Takahashi archives, this piece resurrects a relic of the past to serve as an artifact of the future by blending aesthetic principles rooted in Japanese concepts of craftsmanship and beauty. Paying homage to the antique original, the Atelier Coat combines fits and elements from tailoring and workwear garments with a tailored directional fit. It features articulated set-in sleeves, a notch collar, a concealed horn button placket, a welt chest pocket, a flap front welt ticket and lower pockets, and bakelite buttoned articulated cuffs. Innovating designs from the past using old-world techniques with exquisite precision, the Lot. 405 Coat is made with a Japanese cotton twill-lined body, rayon-lined sleeves, single and double needle construction, and bartack reinforcements. Step into the future with a timeless vision of the past with Taiga Takahashi.
