Description
The Wool Cotton Trench Coat in Khaki from Japanese brand Quitan.
Inspired by a 1940s British Army officer's trench coat, this piece pares back traditional military details to a deliberately minimal expression, defined by generous proportions and a rectangular silhouette. Crafted from a wool-cotton blend woven in Aichi, Japan, the fabric combines 2/80 worsted wool warp yarns with 30/2 organic cotton weft yarns. Each is dyed in subtly different shades, creating a rich sense of depth and tonal variation across the surface.
The densely woven fabric provides natural structure, allowing the oversized, elongated silhouette to maintain its clean shape. Dropped shoulders, a simple collar and single-breasted button closure emphasise the understated design, while side pockets with welt and flap details add subtle functionality. The generous cut offers ease of movement and room for layering, while the collar can be worn raised for a more structured look. Finished in a deep Khaki tone, the coat balances utilitarian inspiration with a refined, contemporary silhouette.

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.
