While Pleats Please was becoming a global success, the mainline was experimenting with industrial textiles of every kind, and polyester felt, pressed rather than woven, gave his studio a cloth that could be printed edge to edge and cut without hemming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coat, product number IM73-FA016, is made entirely of that felt. The print reads like strands of carded wool or smoke drifting across a field of cobalt and black, and it runs uninterrupted from body to sleeves. A wide grey-black felt collar frames the face, the front closes with one large button and a cord toggle, and the body swings out into a generous A-line with curved seams and set-in pockets. The coat is lined in blue at the upper body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTagged L, it measures 49 cm across the shoulder and 103 cm long, falling below the knee. It is light for its size and wears well over tailoring or knitwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMainline Issey Miyake outerwear from the 1990s is far scarcer than the pleated lines, and printed felt pieces in particular were made in small quantities. The surface pilling is typical of the material and does not interfere with the print or the shape; the coat remains striking from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Issey Miyake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn\/Winter 1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e IM73-FA016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyester 100% (felt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cobalt blue, black and white print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder 49 cm · Chest (pit to pit) 49 cm · Sleeve 57 cm · Length 103 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coat only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraded B: worn, with surface pilling to the felt in places.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint bright, no fading noted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToggle and button present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.
