Japanese fashion label sacai introduces a peculiar new hybrid outerwear piece, staying true to its recognized skill of constructing layering fashion. The new outerwear boasts a deconstructed design aesthetics, challenging the boundaries of blending eclectic styles together. Chitose Abe's label takes a trench coat and fuses elements of a track jacket into it as well. The concept is to take two transitional staples and merge it to become a masterpiece item for the seasonal changes.

The hybrid outerwear follows the label's collaborative work alongside Gloverall, which recently blended together a puffer coat with a duffel jacket.

Some details include a dual zipper enclosure, frontal buttons, high-cut collar, drawstrings, a hood, and storm flaps.
