Thisoversized coat from Final Homeis cut in lightweight weather-resistant nylonand features a fully detachable and convertible pile fleece lining. It's truly demonstrative of Kosuke Tsumura'sdesign practice--one that explores the possibilities of clothing as shelter and reframes/reconsiders clothingas an interface betweenthe wearer and their environment. Through the use of technicalmaterials and utilitarian details, Tsumura crafts outerwear that borders onwearablearchitectures--layers here are fastened instead of sewn, withoperable closuresgiving the wearer full access to the volumes inside the garment (not the volume a body would inhabit but the 'inter-layer' volume). Expanding access to and the utilization of this area to store not only deployable convertible 'parts' of the jacket but reallyanything the wearer wantsechoes the thickened, semi-inhabitable 'floorplates' of Louis Kahn's Salk Institute. It's this type of tectonic thinking that really drives home this garment-as-architecture comparison.

The way it functions is, 2 zippers at the hem unzip to deploy a long duster-length coattailof warm fleece while the 2 zippers along the front and collar open to reveal a stowable hood and provide access into the whole bodice. Unzipping the four zippers fully separates the two layers, andwith Tsumura's expert consideration, the long fleece hoodcoat liner and weather-resistant nylon outer can each be worn on their own, with the front zippers serving as closures when apart.The whole combined coat can easily be worn reversed as well, for a full fleece outer with an asymmetrical array of patch pockets. In total it seems like there are 7 garments in one, possibly more. There seems to be infinite play with this piece in a way that so elegantly bridges the expressive and functional qualities of clothing.
