Description
The Poncho Coat in Midnight from Japanese designer brand Quitan.
Crafted from 100% wool double melton, woven in Aichi, Japan, the coat features a dense yet supple texture with a beautifully structured feel. The deep Midnight shade brings a refined, understated character to autumn and winter dressing.
Inspired by an oilcloth smock worn by the British Army in the 1940s, the design reinterprets a traditional military silhouette with a contemporary approach. Its generous poncho-inspired shape and softly flared hem create a relaxed, sculptural silhouette. Finished with a classic collar, front button closure and cotton lining, it layers effortlessly over knitwear, shirts or dresses.

Quitan
Founded by designer Victoria Sae Miyata in Japan, Quitan is a clothing brand inspired by cultures and clothing from around the world. The brand is committed to paying homage to cultures and fashion from various parts of the globe through its neutral style designs. Quitan products aim to minimize their impact on the environment and the planet while integrating inspiration from traditional cultures with modern styles, creating comfortable, natural, and wearable pieces.
The brand name “quitan” comes from the Japanese word “kitan(綺譚（きたん)”, which means “a story written in beautiful prose.” As the concept of “exchange of cultures” expresses, many of the clothes are inspired by ethnic clothing and cultures from around the world, and the clothes are created with the image of connecting the dots of each individuality.
There were overflowing numbers of “differences” in our world.
Those differences would have been rooted in their respective fields, not been disharmony.
Before the diversity was uniformed by modernization, what was the world like?
“Quitan” is a bricolage of such fellowships for beautiful cultures.
