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

Yusuke“This piece is unique with its roughly textured, rugged material. It combines elements of 80s businessman looks with 40s couture, so the nostalgic atmosphere feels fresh. While it evokes a retro mood, the mix-and-match of a digital pattern, like a blend of glen check and windowpane, is also skillfully incorporated. The loose fit feels comfortable too.”

Acne Studios recreates the meticulous approach to fabric and shape that characterized the working men of the 80s. This coat, featuring a large glen check in a pale gray tone, appears classic at first glance but is subtly modernized. The voluminous tailoring is both elegant and chic. ¥128,000 (Acne Studios / Acne Studios Aoyama 03-6418-9923)
