This design combines elements of a classic French cape with the functional features of an outdoor sports run jacket. The relaxed A-line silhouette is complemented by a fly-front fastening and wide side vents on the hem. The subtle textures and colours of natural dyestuffs combined with the taut, high-quality 100% organic cotton canvas fabric, give this contemporary oversized, hooded coat an air of sophistication and ethical integrity. The coat’s liner is made from a comfortable and premium typewriter (plain wave) fabric. In the case of the Anthracite (charcoal) model, constructed from recycled nylon and plant-based materials, it offers exceptional waterproof and breathable properties, making it well-equipped to withstand adverse weather conditions such as rain and snow.
Available in 2 materials / 3 colours.
TEXTILE
The finest quality canvas fabric, which brings a pleasant texture unique to cotton, is an ESC original textile created through the excellent craftsmanship of a canvas maker in Shiga Prefecture. This maker has inherited and preserved the traditional Takashima sailcloth quality for generations. Only natural-origin materials, including pigments are used throughout the entire process. It is woven with unbleached yarns to enhance the comfortably rich texture and colour of the high-quality cotton.
INNER TEXTILE
A custom-made typewriter (plain weave) fabric is used to provide premium comfort, woven by an acclaimed textiles manufacturer established in 1928 within Shizuoka prefecture's renowned Enshu cotton textiles district. The high-density, smooth textile, created from 100% organic cotton yarn, is intricately woven on a traditional shuttle loom, which requires advanced craftsmanship. It also offers a comfortable range of motion for the arms, in addition to moisture absorption and temperature retention properties. The cotton yarn remains unbleached to preserve the natural texture and colour of the cotton.
NATURAL DYEING
Rose Madder fabric is dyed with natural Akane (madder) roots, an ancient Japanese dyeing technique used in many traditional crafts. Our colour intention is a subtle, soothing shade of rose that expresses the warmth and calmness of spring in Japan. The original heather colour is achieved by weaving the canvas fabric from the unevenly-dyed threads, beautifully transforming the subtle hues as light and perspective shift.
