Product description

Rugged and raw: words not often employed to describe our products, but highly appropriate in this instance.

The Niwaki Kōnin Coat is outerwear for jobs like splittling logs, humping hay bales and spinning yarns around a roaring campfire. That was the inspiration anyway, but if you want to slip it on for a gentle stroll to the coffee shop you’ll still look the part. Let’s temper ‘rugged and raw’ with ‘stylish and versatile’.

Unlined, this is the sort of coat you layer up or down depending on the weather, giving you year-round wear. It’s constructed from heavyweight, slightly rough cotton canvas, dyed to a rich indigo hue in Kojima, the home of the Japanese obsession – religious fervous, almost – for denim and workwear.

We’ve kitted it out with plenty of cavernous pockets (special mention to the load/poacher pockets along the inside hem) and included a few areas of snazzy Himo cord piping for a dash of urbane sophistication. Custom Niwaki brass buttons and sturdy rivets complete the look.

You’ll have to trust us on this one, but the best thing about this coat is not something we can show you yet: we guarantee that it’s going to age beautifully, developing the sort of characterful fading money can’t buy.

Best usage

Colour may transfer to other items, especially when moisture or friction are added to the mix. Please take extra care around pale furniture, leave the white leather bag at home and consider avoiding favourite white T-shirts for the first few wears.

Wash only when necessary, inside out, with similar colours on a cool setting.
