shell coat, linen/washi blend dyed with binchotan charcoal

lightweight chore coat made from a 45% linen / 55% washi (japanese paper made from mulberry bark) high-density poplin cloth, woven and dyed with binchotan charcoal in japan. because it's dyed in small vats, there are streaks and crocking throughout the fabric.

this isn't really what i'd consider a traditional coat fabric, it's closer to a heavier shirt weight, but the density of the weave and the crisp, dry nature of the washi/linen blend make it pretty good against wind and wet. it's a good outer layer for transitional seasons.

full, boxy cut. antique brass buttons.

approx. measurements (see 'about' page for info on how i measure:

size M: 23.5" chest, 30" length

size L: 25.5" chest, 31" length
