Kapital - hippies, Japanese farmers and post-apocalypse survivors

Just received my 3rd Ring Coat - Khaki Katsuragi cotton one from Kafka.
The two remaining ones are Denim and Navy Melton Wool - both are my most often worn jackets.
More will come some time I guess, hands down my favourite piece of clothing ever made.

would a ring coat look dumb with a hoodie? was gonna kop a champion reverse weave joint as it's getting really cold here, but need to keep in mind how things pair togather since I'm limited to space here. I mostly keep my ring coat in shawl collar as the oversized hood is a bit too attention grabbing.

nah bro. wear it whatever way you want. I don't put on the giant hood either mostly cuz I can't see out of it. Sometimes i put it on and put my arms out walking around like a zombie to be funny and it always gets a couple laughs. especially from children

Question, there is a beautiful kapital Kountry climber edition denim ring coat on grailed I want. The measurements all seem great but the size is a 2, where as I assumed I would be 3. Should I follow the guys measurements or stick to the number? I'm 6'2 at 160 and I have a slim body, long legs, shortish torso.

That looks remarkably similar to my denim ring coat. I have a size 1 and it fits great on my 5'5" frame. Unless you have unusually long arms or torso, I think any size ring coat will fit you. I have had multiple ring coats in sizes from 1 to 3, and they all fit like they were supposed to, just with a little more or less drape. I feel like the consensus around here is that, despite the number sizes, they are one-size-fits-most, so if the measurements sound good, then I say just go for it.

Heck yeah, now I feel good about it. As per usual I shouldnt be buying anything but I saw it and know it would look dope. Plus its been cold as hell in Chicago's for June.

For the real cold season in Chicago, Kapital makes a Melton wool ring coat that is really nice. Independence usually gets a few of them in the fall if you want to check it out.

I wore one here this past winter. FWIW the wool is a touch lighter weight than a typical winter coat, so be prepared to layer up, but I thought it was really effective with a sweater underneath. The shawl neck is really nice to have.

I have a Melton wool Ring Coat, and layering is a must if it's cold and windy. I once wore it walking down the busy Toronto streets in -5 degree Celsius weather with the wind chill factored in, with only an undershirt and a pullover. That was not a fun experience as the freezing winds easily cut through the coat.

I haven't tried it when it hits -15 to -20, as I reach for my Bumfreezer when it's that cold.

Frankly for real winter, I am plenty covered with tons of thick coats. The ring coat would be for in between seasons although I think it might warm enough with a sweater for days above 0 Celsius. Though another thing that I love about Kapital is it goes really really well with my thrifted winter jackets.

And yes it does look good with a hoodie. Sorta wish i had the room / spare cash to buy one in denim, would be a great look with some white painters pants.. Maybe next time I'm in Japan, Japan MSRP aint even bad. It's about 8*C here and this was just slightly warm enough, anything lower and I'd be wanting a wool one.



Still a bit confused on how to turn it into shawl collar mode, where's the hood in this photo? My hood when not in use is sorta just tucked into the back neck area, but maybe you can roll it up in the shawl without making it too bulky somehow?
