Lot.411 M-1918 Rain Coat Beige

Rooted in early 20th-century military design, the Lot.411 M-1918 Rain Coat by T.T draws inspiration from garments issued to the Civilian Conservation Corps during the New Deal era—pieces that themselves traced back to U.S. cavalry ponchos from 1918. Originally developed for soldiers in the final stages of World War I, the design balances protection with considered ventilation, featuring underarm openings that remain relevant in modern rainwear.

Reinterpreting this historical form, T.T. replaces traditional cotton with a fabric woven from linen and Japanese washi yarn. In Japan, washi has long been treated with natural finishes such as persimmon tannin to enhance durability and water resistance—techniques historically used in rain capes. Here, the garment is dyed with kakishibu, imbuing it with both function and depth of character.

T.T, a unisex brand based in New York and Kyoto, was founded by Taiga Takahashi, whose education fused Japanese culture with Western ideas. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2017, he launched his brand, centred on the concept of "resurrecting relics of the past to unearth artifacts of the future." Takahashi, an avid collector of vintage garments from the pre-mass production era, emphasises the historical value of craftsmanship. Through an archaeological lens, he reinterprets time-worn fabrics and sewing details, creating garments meant to endure for centuries, incorporating endangered traditional Japanese techniques and collaborating with skilled artisans.
