"Acne Studios" 2016-20’s rigid wool melton chester coat

From Acne Studios, which has refined the quiet sensibility of Scandinavia into the contours of the city, we introduce the GARRET coat, a symbol of minimalist precision.

Since its founding, the brand has responded to art and music, combining structure and a sense of ease, elevating everyday attire to a higher presence. This piece embodies a design with a clear intent, stripped of unnecessary elements.

While following the formal pattern of a classic Chesterfield at first glance, the angle of the notched lapel and the vertical rhythm created by the three front buttons are beautiful, and simply layering it subtly shapes the body line. The chest features modest welt pockets, and the waist pockets are designed to be unobtrusive, creating a clean, spacious appearance. Its overall finish is highly refined.

Most notably, the dense feel of wool melton, which is immediately conveyed upon touch, is a sturdy fabric with considerable hardness. This ensures that even after repeated wear, the outline remains intact, providing the reliability expected of a coat. The surface is finished with a clear texture that suppresses fuzziness, maintaining a sense of weight without appearing dull, and exudes quiet luster and depth, speaking to its high quality.

The buttons feature a horn-like marble pattern, adding a subtle expression to the minimalist appearance. The balance is masterful, avoiding excessive decoration, and the accumulation of these small elements creates a level of sophistication befitting a special line. The inside is fully lined with viscose satin, providing smoothness and a slight sheen that beautifully contrasts with the exterior's hard melton, and even the act of putting it on or taking it off is refined.

The age can be judged as from around 2016 to 2020, and the current design features the new JIS standard laundry pictogram that transitioned from ISO compliance. The presence of the ACNESTUDIOS.COM URL and the main label with Acne Studios branding together serve as evidence to naturally dismiss the possibility of it being from before 2015. Furthermore, the consistent use of the Japanese agency label "Acne Aoyama Co., Ltd." also reinforces its credibility as a domestic distribution item from the same period.

The identity of Acne Studios, overseen by Jonny Johansson, lies in speaking through silhouette's verticality and material density rather than decoration. GARRET embodies this philosophy most clearly. It blends seamlessly with the current atmosphere without borrowing trends, and from formal occasions to nighttime outings, simply wearing it updates your presence. It is expected to be a long-lasting staple in your wardrobe.

In terms of styling, layering a simple, high-quality shirt with slacks creates a neat appearance that emphasizes a minimal tension. Pairing it with a sleek knit or turtleneck as an inner layer, and layering a long silhouette, results in a mood of quiet strength that transcends gender. Additionally, when combined with a set-up in a similar subdued tone, the Scandinavian aesthetic of pared-down elegance becomes even clearer, completing a style that effortlessly elevates everyday life.

Take this opportunity.
