Fake Ring Coat?
Looking at a Mercari listing on a Kapital Ring Coat. The product itself and the branding tags on it all look legit to me, but the English indigo tag says Capital instead of Kapital (Japanese side looks correct). Is that a sign of a dupe or is it something Kapital is known to do from time to time.
As a side note, I see some Ring Coats use Numeric Sizing (0, 1, 2, 3) and others use Alpha Sizing (XS, S, M, L). Is that just a seasonal thing they've changed on or another sign of dupes? In both cases, they use the same font/size tag look.

Capital Inc was the old trading name before they changed the business name to Kapital to match the branding
Just seeing the cardboard tag isn't enough to validate this one though would need to see the actual fabric care tag sewn inside

My genuine ring coat (I brought it at a kapital store) has alpha and numeric sizing on opposite sides of the sizing label.
Ah that explains it. I'm sure that these pics aren't enough to confirm it as real. I was moreso curious if it was enough to confirm it as fake. So many harder details were right that it seemed odd that they'd mess up on spelling, but it didn't make sense why a legit one would have that either
I'd be a little suspect of the K but the picture is not really clear enough
