Everyday wear that moves with you
A long pleated coat with a hatched, scratched-drawing texture from double pleating on a textured recycled polyester fabric, described by Issey Miyake as dry-touch and recommended for daily use. The pleats are built to expand with the body and return to shape, with simple pattern shapes developing unexpected volume as you move. On the model it sits close to the torso, an inferred slim fit that may vary on other wearers.[1,2,3]
Wrinkle-Free Travel Packing
This coat is easy to pack because it can be compressed without developing conventional wrinkles. The pleats allow the garment to be easily compressed for travel while maintaining its shape.[2]
Machine washable with easy care routine

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Hatching Pleated Coat: Choose this if you want a black, knee-length pleated coat with fine permanent vertical pleats throughout — made in Japan from a textured recycled stretch polyester knit with a dry-touch feel that Issey Miyake recommends for daily use. The pleated construction is designed to expand with the body and return to shape, and the lightweight fabric packs down without conventional wrinkling, making it practical for travel and everyday wear. Note the care routine: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle in a laundry net and line dry in the shade — no tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning.[1,2,3,4] | Spring Pleats Pleated Open Cardigan: Choose this if you want a playful, sculptural Issey Miyake layer in black, combining box, handmade, and wavy horizontal pleats on a bouncy high-twist polyester that stretches and contracts like a spring as you move. It is an open-front cardigan with long pleated sleeves, a boat neckline, and a cropped near-waist length that sits flush against the body as worn. Note that it is 100% polyester and made in Japan, and the distinctive pleated texture is a statement look rather than a smooth finish.[5,6,7,8,9] |
