The “100-nen coat” (100 years coat) was produced as a combination of Japan’s finest craftsmanship with the vision of creating a remarkable coat that can be passed down from one generation to another and loved for the next 100 years.
To realize the quality fit for use over a long period of time, each of the three major steps in manufacturing – weaving the fabric, dyeing and sewing – was handled within Japan using the country’s most advanced techniques to create a purely Japan-made product. The yarn-dyed, high-density fabrics made from GIZA, the highest quality Egyptian cotton, are woven using very delicate techniques and treated with a durable water-repellent finish for added functionality. The sewing process is handled at SANYO Sewing, the country’s only sewing factory specializing in coats. Individual parts are carefully sewn together by skilled experts. A single coat is finally completed after undergoing more than 400 steps. Owners of these exceptional coats can take advantage of the 100 year Ownership Plan, a membership system that offers repairs and maintenance services. Truly, this coat will be a lifelong partner to its owner. Enjoy wearing and passing down this masterpiece imbued with the products of Japan’s finest craftsmanship.
