Lot. 314 Coverall Jacket C.1940's - Charcoal

The entrance of T.T Gion Store is paved with Aji stone from Kagawa Prefecture, one of the world’s finest granites with a history dating back to the reconstruction of Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine in the 14th century. To reflect the stone’s unique texture in our clothing, we used the frottage technique to transfer its surface pattern onto katuragi (twill) fabric.

This item is based on a 1940s coverall jacket from Taiga Takahashi’s archival collection. Originally designed as blue-collar workwear, coveralls often featured inner pockets and pen holders. However, the 1940s version they reconstructed has a simplified design, reflecting the resource-scarce era around World War II. T.T preserved the jacket's linear silhouette with meticulous stitching to echo the coarse tailoring of the time. Made from comfortably thick, textured katuragi (twill) fabric, the straight yarn results in a clean, defined twill pattern. The iron buttons and back pieces, marked with original engravings, are uncoated to develop a beautiful aged patina over time.
