Today, we introduce a lightweight coat from DEVOA, which is available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi). The coat combines a substantial ambiance with a light and comfortable wearing experience, creating a unique contrast.
Simple and Well-Crafted Design for Enhanced Practicality
This coat, a variation of the lightweight coat released in 22-23AW (Autumn/Winter), features a different fabric. While the previous version used an extremely lightweight material intended for inner layering, this edition has a substantial fabric suitable for winter wear without compromising on lightness and a neat appearance.
While maintaining the light feel and a sleek look when worn, there have been changes to the silhouette for this release.
We have ordered two colors for this release. White Gray, which carries a slightly distressed appearance, and Black, leaning towards a dark charcoal tone.
Model 181cm/62kg. Wearing size: Coat/Size 2, Shirt/Size 2, Pants/Size 2, Shoes/Size 42.
The design features a minimalist, zip-closure, raglan-cut coat with a high neck inspired by military items.
The high neck is stabilized and reinforced with tape, while ribbed cuffs and hem add a military touch to the details. The overall design incorporates eye-catching details like the zip-front closure and slash pockets, creating an atmosphere that is simple, well-crafted, and devoid of any excess.
The military-inspired details are carefully integrated, enhancing the outerwear's presence.
A Slightly Relaxed Silhouette
The silhouette has been slightly relaxed, allowing for layering with innerwear and making it more versatile for winter wear.
However, the shoulder area remains sleek, maintaining a clean vertical line and ensuring a visually appealing silhouette.
Lightweight Feel Despite its Tough Appearance
The fabric creates a tough appearance with varying shadows from small wrinkles, but it is relatively thin, offering a soft and firm texture.
It is a blend of cotton and nylon, woven at high density, and features a unique texture with wrinkle processing.
Compared to the previous version, the material enhances the outerwear atmosphere.
The fabric, along with the incorporated Thinsulate, is kept moderately thin, making it a versatile choice for both outerwear and layering with knits or shirts without adding bulk.
The Most Remarkable Feature - Surprising Lightness
The most remarkable feature of this coat is its incredible lightness when worn.
Although it looks like a proper coat, the feeling of wearing it is akin to putting on a long cardigan.
You won't sense the typical heaviness associated with outerwear; it's exceptionally lightweight.
By minimizing the thickness of the Thinsulate inside, it lacks visible bulk, allowing it to maintain a stylish outerwear appearance while enhancing practicality through its lightweight construction.
Considering the actual wearing period, adjusting the inner layers based on temperature and seasonal feel, this coat seems suitable for wearing from late autumn to early spring.
Certainly, it is designed to accommodate mid-weight to slightly thicker knits, making it comfortable enough to wear from late autumn to early spring. You can easily layer pullover knits or zip-up knits as innerwear, or add an outer layer from the top for versatility in adapting to winter temperatures.
While the material effectively conveys the seasonal feel during winter wear, the coat itself is remarkably lightweight. Additionally, with Thinsulate providing heat retention, the appearance remains sleek. This makes it a versatile item both in terms of seasonal wear and stylistic flexibility.
Versatile Styling for Various Looks
Now, let's introduce a few styling options.
When it comes to choosing pants, it pairs well with slim pants, layered pants, or even intentionally loose cropped pants. It's relatively versatile, and depending on what you pair it with, including the inner layers, you can change the overall impression.

CTM-CNSY-White Gray Nylon Coat Shrink Cotton/Nylon White Gray
White outerwear tends to highlight stains, but in this case, the design itself has a rough touch, and there's already a bit of unevenness, giving it a slightly rough vibe. So, you might not need to worry too much about it.
In winter, darker colors are more common, making bright-colored outerwear feel a bit challenging. However, since it's not pure white, it blends relatively well and has a friendly hue.

This can also go well with earth-toned innerwear.
The silhouette itself has a clean vertical line without much complexity, making it easy to pair with loose-fitting pants like these.
