The duffel coat I've been looking for.
New color, showing its true potential.
Hello.
This is Sugimura from cliché.
There are only 10 days left this year.
People walking around town seem to be busy, and there is a lively end-of-the-year mood in the air.
It's also the year-end party season, so everyone should have a big drink.
I think you are looking back on this year.
Exactly one month has passed since I joined cliché.
A lot of time has passed since I joined the company,
It feels like the events of this year have been overwritten in the past month.
He treated me strictly, shrewdly, and sometimes with humor,
We are spending more time than ever before.
Then I recently got my hair cut.
I cut my long hair that was just above my waist to about chin length.
It had grown to the longest length ever,
The reason for this is that I wanted to start the new year with a fresh start and a refreshed mind.
Good visibility and a light heart. I'm looking forward to seeing how the way I match my clothes will change.
Also, I bought a nice coat.
cantate's Pile Duffle Coat.
The cantate 22AW exhibition was held six months ago, so I went to the exhibition hall and met the coat for the first time.
A seriously badass duffel coat is coming out! That means,
I was able to gather information from Mr. Matsushima's talk and from the look photos released in advance of the exhibition. I entered the venue with excitement.
I immediately start looking at the products, but I catch a glimpse of a duffel coat in the corner of my vision, and can't concentrate on the other clothes.
I originally wanted a duffel coat.
Mr. Matsushima knows this,
Imo, you definitely want this.
He gently held out a duffel coat to me. A helping hand?
After being introduced to the coat, I tried it on. Book as is.
My impressions are that it's insanely cool.
I chose military BOTTLE GREEN as the color.

I want to wear it as soon as possible, it's going to get cold soon.
Contrary to my thoughts, it hasn't really gotten cold this winter, but around the day before yesterday, the temperature has finally dropped to below 10 degrees, and it's my long-awaited debut at work.
Here is this morning's photo shoot style.
I put on a duffel coat over the knit + jacket, and the temperature was just right for me to feel comfortable.
The temperature this morning is 7° and the afternoon temperature is 9°.
It feels as cold as last year's New Year's Eve.
I was hoping it would get colder soon, but just last week it was so warm that I was wearing a buffalo check over shirt as an outer layer, so the temperature difference is too big.
The cold winter wind, which I felt was a nuisance until last year, is making me happy this year as I have acquired a duffel coat. It feels like a tailwind pushing me back.
Keeping my momentum going, I took a walk through Yoyogi's shopping district.

When I actually wore it, I felt like I was being wrapped up in it.
It's not because it's large in size, but because it feels like the dense, thick fabric is in contact with the outside of your body without any gaps. .
Rich and uniform comfort with a solid feel.
BOTTLE GREEN color = A dark, deep green color reminiscent of the bottom of a bottle.
Chambray is a herringbone fabric with visible peaks and valleys, and the warp and weft have different colors.
There are shadows in some places and it looks dark in some areas,
On the other hand, when the light hits the top of the mountain, it looks whitish,
On mornings when the sun is weak, such as when the coat was photographed, the tone is toned down from the original dark green, giving it a charcoal-like appearance.
Not limited to BOTTLE GREEN, other colors are available depending on the location and time of day.
The way you see colors will change. You might think that.
Every other color has multiple ways of appearing depending on the situation.
I have never seen fabrics and colors that are so calm and yet show off such a rich variety of faces.
This coat has a variety of expressions, so there are many ways to match it.
I drew on cantate's high-quality, unostentatious image,
As usual, I wore my favorite cantate item as an inner layer.
I said it was the same as usual, except for the pants.
I had decided to wear cantate's Regular Chino Trousers in OLIVE DRAB color.
It has an elegant and soft appearance that doesn't feel unpleasant even when walking around town.
This coat is both extremely comfortable and feels like you're being wrapped up in it.
The fabric called genuine pile melton is used for duffel coats.
It is a very elaborate fabric that takes two months to process.
Divide the shrinking process and check each time.
It will take some time to compress it little by little while checking the condition.
As a result, it is packed with strength and gives you a firm feeling of firmness.
If you trace the feathers on the surface with your finger, you will see that the hairs are pointing upwards and are not flattened, leaving their shape intact.
It's not tightly packed and hard, but when you touch the surface of the fabric deeper than the raised part, it feels soft.
It is a convincing fabric that has both softness and stiffness, allowing you to feel the process of completion by wearing it.

The NAVY BLUE color makes it easy to imagine an item called a duffel coat.
Classic color with classic styling.
I was thinking of pairing it with cantate and a white granny sweater, but it was sold out the other day. .
I wore three pieces of innerwear: a turtleneck, a shirt, and a jacket.
Although I wore it quite well, the coat swelled up in some parts.
I don't see it picking up the shape of the innerwear and getting beat up.
This is probably because the fabric is so tightly packed that it does not convey its shape to the outside of the coat.
Of the two colors, BOTTLE GREEN and NAVY BLUE, I think the NAVY BLUE color is the one that is easy to wear for a lifetime.
There are many colors to choose from to match both,
NAVY BLUE is less likely to look good on different people.
I chose the BOTTLE GREEN color because I usually like green and brown clothes and wear them on a daily basis, and when I connected them, the styling image of BOTTLE GREEN just happened to come to mind. ,
If you have trouble choosing a color, think of your own personal color,
As you imagine future combinations, you will naturally narrow down the colors.
I want a duffel coat. in the preliminary stage of
The general goal was to find outerwear that I could wear for the rest of my life.
I want to have at least one good piece of outerwear. I've been thinking about this for a long time, but
If it's something you'll wear all the time, you'll want to choose it carefully.
I was worried about the shape, fabric, color, and price range, and as the year progressed, the options for outerwear continued to increase, and I couldn't make a decision.
Why did I decide to purchase a cantate duffel coat?
Since outerwear will continue to be released in the future, why did you decide to purchase it six months ago?
Having cleared all the criteria,
Can you find a coat that you want more than this?
When I asked myself this question, I felt that there was no guarantee that I would be able to find one, so I decided to purchase it.
It has a simple design that can be worn for a long time, and is made of strong fabric that will not sag.
A contoured silhouette that you can imagine yourself wearing 5 to 10 years from now.
Even if the clothes you wear change in 5 or 10 years, and you want higher-quality clothes that suit your tastes, you will be able to maintain the perfection of your styling.
A fabric called genuine pile melton that can only be processed by one company in Japan.
There is no guarantee that another coat of the same quality will be made or released in the future.
As much as I found this fabric appealing, I might regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't buy it.
Also, this may sound harsh, but it's a duffel coat made by cantate, a company I trust.
Six months ago, when I decided to pre-order, I was just a fan of the brand.
He was just a man worried about clothes, looking for the perfect outerwear for the rest of his life.
I'm looking for a good coat, but
To be honest, I don't have enough financial resources to pay 300,000 yen.
However, I remember not thinking too much about it when deciding to buy it.
Cantate is very particular about the fabrics, as you can see from past blogs.
If you do a little research, you will find interviews on SNS, etc., so you can easily find out.
Of course, fans of the brand know more.
You can tell the shape of clothes by wearing them.
Fabrics that are carefully selected without compromise will inevitably have a perfect shape.
The other day, the weather was cloudy and cloudy during the day, and it started raining at night.
I had no choice but to walk back to the station in the rain,
The fabric of the duffel coat doesn't let rain through at all.
Perhaps it's because the fabric is so stuffed, it feels like rain is on top of my clothes and doesn't soak in at all.
It doesn't allow wind to pass through, so you feel warm.
The image is that the temperature is maintained at a comfortable temperature, not too hot.
It was at its peak when I bought it. Not
The peak comes when you actually wear it and continue to wear it.
As I remembered the product description and traced the comfort and detailed construction,
I'm satisfied with the details, and on top of that, I make new discoveries.
The peak continues for a long time without getting tired.
This is a duffel coat that I have a feeling that I will wear for the rest of my life.
By the way, the duffel boom has also arrived at Kinoshita.
Perfect for going to work.
A BROWN color duffel coat that I had made before.
Style it with sneakers, a cap, and a backpack for street style.
Shirts and chinos are good, but this style is also good...
Winter is here!
