Vol. 5: "Solemnly, Check Coats!" BOTTEGA VENETA

Autumn has truly arrived. It’s the season to enjoy styling outerwear. Amidst this, Editor Demon King Tomoki Yusuke has picked British-flavored check pattern coats. We are keenly focusing not only on classical styles but also on pieces that showcase modern individuality through playful details, patterns, and silhouettes.

BOTTEGA VENETA

Tomoki“Creative Director Tomas Maier is exquisitely adept at modernizing classical items. This tailored coat has a beautiful shoulder line and a perfect, elegant shape. While it’s a different stance from wearing the typical loose, oversized coat, the voluminous silhouette created by the back tuck is also excellent. The classical English check is elegant and cool, and the double cuffs on the sleeves are a clever touch that retains that classic feel.”

This double-breasted coat, with its oversized notch lapels and deeply folded cuffs, exudes a classical mood. It represents this season’s exploration of sharp tailoring, characterized by a structured yet relaxed shoulder line and a comfortably fitted waist. ¥475,000 (Bottega Veneta / Bottega Veneta Japan 0120-60-1966)
