Ramie silk coating
This fabric is made with 100% ramie yarn for the warp and a blended yarn of ramie and silk for the weft, resulting in an extremely lightweight and thin fabric. The combination of ramie's smooth texture and silk's luster creates a simple yet striking fabric. Both the warp and weft use a very fine 160-count yarn, which is usually difficult to spin at this fineness. To overcome this, the fabric is woven with water-soluble yarn for reinforcement. After weaving, the fabric is hot-washed to remove the reinforcing material, achieving a balance of lightness and thinness.
This is a long coat with a stand collar and a generous fit. The high collar and longer length are designed to shield against strong sunlight from spring to summer and into autumn, and to handle the temperature differences between morning and evening. Its extremely thin and lightweight design ensures minimal strain even during prolonged wear. A drawstring cord at the waist allows for adjustment of fit and silhouette. Side slits provide access to inner pockets on pants or jackets worn underneath.
