Get ready for a warm winter with a piece that lifts your spirits.

1. Alexander McQueen

Founded in 1992 by the late Alexander McQueen, hailed as a genius, at the young age of 22, the brand took the fashion world by storm with its designs that broke with conventional norms. Sarah Burton took over as designer in 2010.


We've picked out two pieces that are perfect for street style. (Left) This trench coat, made from the iconic lustrous Polyfaille fabric, features a kimono-style construction with gun flaps and rain flaps integrated into the sleeves. Its well-defined silhouette is captivating. The crinkled finish makes it easy to throw on without feeling too formal. The deep front closure and leather buckle waist belt are just some of the authentic details that adults will appreciate. (Right) This coat, with its all-over black and white McQueen graffiti print, makes a huge impact. It has a strong presence and is sure to stand out in the city.

2. AMIRI

Founded in 2014 by Mike Amiri, who hails from Los Angeles, the brand creates a unique world view centered on street culture, using luxurious materials and craftsmanship. It is also known for producing many of its items in Los Angeles.

This season, AMIRI 's outerwear collection is based on the concepts of deconstruction and intentional lightness. (Left) The classic double-breasted coat features a slightly oversized silhouette and is made without interlining for a relaxed fit. The long-pile fabric gives it a robe-like feel. (Right) This item is a deconstructed duffel coat, reinterpreted in AMIRI's style. It is made entirely from a single piece of fabric except for the sleeve lining, resulting in an extremely lightweight finish like a cardigan. While retaining duffel coat details such as a hood with a chin strap and flap patch pockets, it shines with an unconventional approach, replacing the toggle buttons with glossy buttons.

3. BALMAIN HOMME

Founded in 1945 by Pierre Balmain, the brand saw Olivier Rousteing become creative director in 2011. He continues the founder's elegance while incorporating modern styles and avant-garde elements into his collections.

One of this season's themes, modern tailoring, is based on a basic and authentic foundation, yet it showcases the brand's strength with a fresh finish that feels completely new. (Left) The long coat is attractive for its beautiful tailoring, achieved through metal buttons and a structured pattern. Knit designs are incorporated into the collar, waist, and sleeves, adding a modern touch to the traditional style. (Right) The six-button wool coat, adorned with a detachable faux fur collar, features large lapels that cover the upper body and is designed to create movement even when worn open.

4. Brioni

A men's luxury fashion house boasting world-class sartorial techniques. It gained attention when James Bond wore its garments in the '007' film series. Since 2022, Jude Law and his son, Ruff Law, have served as brand ambassadors.


We've selected three coats that showcase tailoring techniques and the finest materials. (Left) The cashmere field jacket and (center) the virgin wool overcoat feature a smooth, draping double-split construction, demonstrating generations of sartorial expertise by hand-sewing two fabrics together to create the illusion of a single piece. These are timeless items imbued with exceptional elegance. (Right) This car coat, made with innovative materials, boasts excellent water repellency, wind resistance, and breathability, making it suitable for various weather conditions and ideal for business trips and city strolls. It's a versatile piece that covers everything from business to casual occasions.

5. BURBERRY

Founded in London in 1856, the company invented the high-density twill fabric "gabardine" and became synonymous with trench coats made from it. Attention is also focused on the first collection by Daniel Lee, who was appointed as the new Chief Corporate Officer (CCO) in October, which will be unveiled next February.


With authentic styling gaining attention this season, we've selected two pieces with different characteristics from our heritage style collection. (Left) This car coat, with its neat silhouette and striking navy color, is made from supple tropical gabardine. The lining features a vintage check pattern, adding a retro touch. The silhouette is a slim "Camden" fit that looks smart. The concealed placket front enhances the clean impression. (Right) From the "Kensington" trench coat collection, which comes in short, regular, and long lengths, we've chosen the most classic long type. Details inspired by the archives are scattered throughout. When worn over a suit with the belt cinched tight, it creates a sophisticated look.

6. GIORGIO ARMANI

Having taken the world by storm in the 1980s with its soft suits, the brand is known for its modern and elegant designs. It continues to offer classic, high-fashion styles with its subdued color palettes.


From the prestigious Armani, we present a full-length coat. This hooded coat, made of mohair wool perfect for autumn and winter, boasts a relaxed fit. The iconic GA monogram is featured on a sophisticated gray fabric, but the slightly blurred texture makes it easy to coordinate despite the prominent logo.

7. Loro Piana

As a top-tier textile manufacturer, the garments they create, leveraging their expertise, are truly exceptional. Their design approach is modern, resulting in a wide range of items that perfectly capture current trends.


(Left) A hooded parka inspired by traditional equestrian jackets. The rugged, outdoor feel is given an extremely noble impression by the off-white color. The fabric is Loro Piana's signature fully waterproof cashmere fabric. It is very warm with padding, making it ideal for travel in cold climates. (Right) This Chester coat is a masterpiece treated with the brand's unique Storm System® waterproof and windproof processing. It shines with a modern approach that combines classic tailoring with straight lines. Made with luxurious, lustrous cashmere, it is also recommended for casual wear paired with a fine-gauge crewneck knit.

8. Maison Margiela

In 2014, John Galliano became the creative director of Maison Margiela . Under a pyramidal creative process with "artisanal" (equivalent to haute couture) at the top, the brand expresses its unique creations through reliability, anonymity, and reimagining, ranging from haute couture to women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, small leather goods, accessories, and fragrances.


(Left) This collarless wool coat features a clean design with contrasting trim around the neck, asymmetrical envelope pockets, and a concealed placket. The cuffs and shoulder line are adorned with details that make the garment's structure visible, resembling visible basting stitches. (Right) This trench coat, made from tonic wool, has a playful touch with a single button that is stitched in red. The stitching on the notched collar is also uniformly red, subtly showcasing the maison's avant-garde nature. In fact, deconstructed details are also hidden on the underside of the collar. In addition to navy, it is also available in beige.

9. MARNI

MARNI is characterized by its structured silhouettes and colorful, innovative use of materials. Its collections, which are both soft and playful, are visually appealing and have garnered support from a wide range of people.


The classic Chesterfield coat features dropped shoulders, a relaxed fit, and a well-balanced length, creating a flattering silhouette that suits various body types and styles. While the design is simple, the wide lapels and large front flap pockets add a touch of Marni's signature charm. The classic, understated gray herringbone fabric is lightweight, making it comfortable to wear. The solid navy version is easy to incorporate into everyday outfits, and the soft, lightweight cashmere-blend wool felt gives it a subtly luxurious feel.

10. THOM BROWNE

This brand reimagines traditional American style, updating it with a sporty and modern twist. Its short-length suits made a sensational impression upon its debut, quickly establishing it as a top brand. Its comical creations, such as those featuring the owner's pet dog, are also a major draw.


(Left) This car coat is made from compressed wool knit in Milano rib. With a concealed placket and slant pockets, the base has a classic look, but the iconic tricolor stripes on both sleeves add a playful touch that is characteristic of the brand. The familiar gray with stripes is a point that will make you want to buy it. (Right) This six-button pea coat is vividly updated with green leather. The tailoring is finished with fur trim in various places, giving it a warm feel. A white 4-bar stripe is sewn onto the left sleeve. A traditional striped lining and a signature striped grosgrain loop tab at the back of the neck add a touch of elegance.
