Kolor is an up and coming fashion line from Japan. They came out with this double-breasted cotton coat for Fall 2009 and it is definitely one of my more favorite pieces. This coat carries all the eccentricity and daring expected of modern Japanese fashion, but still manages to retain a sense of elegance and collected poise. It also carries a slight suggestion of decadence, which I absolutely find perfect. I am very fond of double-breasted coats, it is such a classic look and I always tend to lean towards classic because, well, it is a classic style for a reason. This is an amazing double-breasted coat and I love the fact that it is manufactured out of cotton. I can probably manage to wear this mid-March without excessive perspiration, which will kill the presence of any outfit. I also love the contrast between the color of the lining and that of the coat itself. The smaller brass buttons are a great touch and just add to the presence of this coat. This is the perfect spring coat, it has a perfect weight, perfect details, and an exciting modern take on a classic silhouette which is oh-so-right.
Time to feel like an aristocrat without having to go to all the trouble of marrying into royalty.
