Excellent Condition Inverness Coat / T-Coat (Tombi Coat) - Inspired by Dazai Osamu

US Size:

Available for immediate purchase!

**Product:**
This is a vintage Japanese Tonbi coat.

**Condition:**
The outer fabric is in excellent condition with no moth-eaten holes or tears. The lining is torn, and the lining at the sleeve cuffs is detached. You would either need to remove the entire lining or wear it as is.
The outer fabric is in very good condition, so it's a great deal for those who don't mind the lining.

**Features:**
I'm not sure of the exact age, but this is a very old Tonbi coat from the Taisho Roman or Showa era. It's a unique Japanese coat that was widely worn during the time when traditional Japanese clothing was still common.
It's famous for being worn by Osamu Dazai, who supposedly wouldn't go outside without wearing one (he called it a double-breasted coat or mantle). I own this coat because I'm a fan of his work. However, I have two of them, so I'm selling this one.
You can wear it over traditional Japanese clothing, of course, but it's also an Inverness coat, so it can be worn surprisingly well with regular clothes. I actually enjoyed walking around Mitaka, Dazai's former residence, while wearing this coat.
As long as the length and width fit, you don't have to worry about the sleeve length.

**Shipping:**
I ship within 24 hours of purchase. I will package the item to prevent water damage and breakage.
I carefully check and describe the condition of the item.

**Size:**
Measurements (laid flat, stretched): cm
Length: 128
Width: 63
Sleeve Length: 42

I love vintage clothing and have a lot of similar items, but I'm selling some because I have too many. You can see my other listings from the hashtag below. I will also post styling ideas.
