It is light and warm with padding, looks neat, and when you stand up the collar, it covers your neck so you don't need a scarf. It is a special coat that does not make you feel stiff. The 100% cotton minimal gingham check fabric is brushed and feels comfortable against the skin. The lining is printed with rosehips painted by Yuko Yamamoto in watercolor. The gorgeous pattern that catches your eye will make your winter outfit look more pleasing.
