Lot. 303 Coverall Jacket - Hand Drawn Sumi

The Lot.303 Coverall Jacket is rooted in history, tracing back to an unbranded American coverall from 1910 discovered in a coal mine. Taiga Takahashi reimagines it as both artifact and living garment, balancing archival reverence with contemporary craft. This season’s iteration comes in two distinct fabrications: a revived “TWEEDUROY,” a corduroy printed with a tweed pattern originally developed in Massachusetts for durability in boys’ uniforms, and a hand-painted sumi version inspired by Kyoto karakami marbling. Each piece is unique, the sumi ink brushstrokes applied by Yuzen artisans to create subtle shifts in shading that cannot be replicated. Hardware is true to form—iron buttons and back parts engraved and left uncoated so they patinate with age. What emerges is a jacket that feels like a century-old find but with materials and finishes designed for today.
