A Masculine and Distinctive Trench Coat is Born



Aquascutum, named from the Latin for "water" and "shield," gained global acclaim for its waterproof coats and continues to be a popular British brand. Now, it collaborates with mastermind JAPAN, a brand with a fervent following.

The men's trench coat from "Aquascutum mastermind" is based on Aquascutum's classic "KINGSGATE" model, featuring iconic trench coat details like the umbrella yoke, epaulets, large gun patch, and D-ring on the waist belt. These elements are adapted to the modern silhouette of the "PRINCEGATE" model, creating a unique piece enhanced by mastermind JAPAN's design.

In addition to the model introduced here, two other designs will be available: a polyester jersey trench coat (¥194,400) with a Swarovski skull motif at the center of the back yoke, and a cotton-polyester gabardine trench coat (¥216,000) adorned with mastermind JAPAN's original patches throughout.
