Men's WASHI Lab Coat

Japanese washi paper has the lowest thermal conductivity among many different types of materials, in addition to its ability to disperse heat quickly as well as its unique resistance to moisture. To make the most of these properties of washi paper, we came up with a special knitted design where the inner layer that comes into direct contact with the user's skin is set with washi paper while preserving a 100% polyester external surface. This creates a fabric that is soft to the touch and resists both heat and moisture. At the same time, this design eliminates the problems of creases and discoloration typically associated with washi paper, which were significant issues with uniforms. Even after the harsh cleaning process required for clothes worn by medical personnel, there were no creases, and no ironing was necessary. No discoloration was also observed regardless of the number of times it was washed. This new hybrid material combines the advantages offered by natural materials with the functionality essential for personnel working in the healthcare industry.

Incorporating the subtle qualities of washi paper into our design

We have incorporated the "understated elegance" of washi paper. This material combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetics into our design. We have taken exceptional care to present the material's subtle elegance through simple and compact details that resonate with the herringbone pattern we have selected to convey the natural quality and simplicity of washi paper fibers.

This coat achieves a tight look by utilizing the stretch properties of the new knitted fabric material. Its firm texture also gives it a beautiful, well-tailored appearance. The coat has a narrower V-zone with its higher button position and a narrow collar for a compact look, which collectively give rise to an unassuming and relaxed front area that is essential for creating a good impression. The coat showcases many details of excellent tailoring, including a front shoulder structure that alleviates the stress on the shoulders of users engaged in desk work as well as a collar design that fits snugly around the neck.

The coat's pockets also feature a casual and unassuming design. The side pockets are square pockets with flaps, with the right side pocket containing a smaller coin pocket to store seals and accessories. There is also an inner pocket on both the right and left sides of the coat.
