Kapital - hippies, Japanese farmers and post-apocalypse survivors

That’s a beautiful piece! I wish there was a way to accurately tell when things are either completely out of stock or if they just haven’t been stocked yet on the webshop. Given that their collection is so large it’s hard to tell.

Yeah sometimes you just have to keep checking the eshop. They will occasionally restock sold out items.

Excellent! Would love pics. Do you normally take Medium in stuff in general?

I take medium in US brands like EG and large in Japanese brands like ts(s) & vis, sometimes XL (blue blue, remi relief). For reference I'm 5'10" and 175 lbs with average build

Do you mean for ts(s)/vis you go for 3s or 4s?

 

[supermang]

Oh yes I'm a 3 in ts(s) and vis (i mostly have older pieces) and a large in streetwear brands like neighborhood, wtaps, etc.

Kind of a dumb question, but how in the world do you guys hang your ring coats? Mine just wants to fall off the hanger, and I'm using a coat hanger.

I just fold mine. I talked to one of the salespeople at the legs store (where I saw a couple coats hung) and they said the coats fall off a lot, so I don't think there's any particularly good way.

Sometimes I slip the hanger hook under the loop where the kapital tag is so it stays on if that makes sense. Buttoning also helps it stay on the hanger.

I fold mine. Literally cannot hang the thing, especially since the wool version is so heavy.

Alas, I was trying to avoid the inevitable, but looks like I’ll have to fold as well.

I've got three unbuttoned ring coats hanging on regular hangers in my closet right now - melton wool, katsuragi cotton and denim. So far, so good ...

I fold my Melton wool Ring coat and store it in a cabinet with some other coats and scarves.

Also: the Tsugihagi Kesa has arrived!

When I had a ring coat i buttoned it as tight as possible and utilized the little fabric loop by the label on the inside and I never had any problems hanging it. Needed a thick hangar though!

My Sha-Ka-Coat from Pancho & Lefty arrived today, it's wonderful. I'll have to post some pictures soon

just picked up a wool ring coat! pretty excited about it.

ring coats vs hangers: I keep mine on a hanger. the hanger may not be lined up on the coat's shoulders exactly--I just sort of bring all the fabric around front on both sides and it holds there. may help to use a nonshit hanger.
