A black double-breasted cape, shrouded in the shadows of the Showa literary world. For those drawn to the world of the great writer Osamu Dazai, who walked along the cold winds of the Tamagawa Josui, and Chuya Nakahara, whose back disappeared from the bar into the night, this is a classic cape coat, all in black, tailored around the 1950s. ✳︎Size (※See measurement photo 20) ①Body length: (approx.) 133cm ②Sleeve length: (approx.) 90cm ③Shoulder width: (approx.) 44cm ④Outer pocket x 2 width: (approx.) 17.5cm (both sides) Left inner pocket width: (approx.) 14.5cm ✳︎Suitable height: (approx.) 160-178cm ✳︎Manufacturer: Unknown, Made in Japan ✳︎Condition: Although there is age-related damage due to being clothing from over 80 years ago, the appearance is beautiful and heavy, without impairing the atmosphere, and it has great value as a collection item. ✳︎Outer fabric: Smooth, high-quality cashmere-blend wool (black) with a moist drape and a deep black that absorbs light. The touch is soft and will firmly block out the cold air of winter. ✳︎Lining: High-quality satin (fully lined) The sleeves slide extremely smoothly, and the dull luster enhances the classic appearance. While using plenty of fabric luxuriously, the double-cape structure that envelops the upper body is also excellent as protection from rain and wind, and becomes a "quietly eye-catching presence" during winter walks and night outings. ✳︎ The chin strap and heavy black buttons are made of heavy PVC material (※the buttons on the back of the collar are brown), reflecting the luster modestly, and the overall atmosphere is not ruined, resulting in a "literary world black" finish. ・A highly complete design for a Japanese-style coat that can be worn without difficulty over Western or Japanese clothing. Highly recommended for those who like the style of Showa writers, which evokes both nostalgia and aestheticism, embodying the culture of overcoats worn by writers and literary masters, the atmosphere of the overcoat loved by Dazai, and the coat worn by Nakahara in winter. It has specifications that hit the mark with a perfect size to fit a paperback book or notebook. For visiting used bookstores, reading in coffee shops, keeping warm while walking around town, or as an outerwear for watching plays. It creates a unique presence, like "walking in shadows" with a low center of gravity and beauty not found in modern clothing. ◉⤵︎Search keywords Osamu Oda / Chuya Nakahara / Kosuke Kindaichi / Overcoat / Tonbi coat / Inverness coat / Inverness coat / Cape coat / Taisho Roman / Showa Retro / Writer / Literary master / Department store / Literary world BAR / Haori coat / Japanese-style coat / Black / Maxi length, cold-weather Japanese-style coat
