they're sort of more "slow fashion" if that phrase isn't completely dead yet so I always have reasonable expectations w them colors are a little disappointing for me tho. they usually have more surprising pops of saturation

auralee to me is always better at making individual pieces than a collection like this is all super cohesive and looks good, but the interesting stuff they do is all materials driven imo

Lemaire

stoy is known for having stuff for cheap sometimes japan has the most lemaire per capita (true fact) so can be lots of good secondhand there

you may like some Danton wool coats. They are popular in japan and available cheap secondhand tons of smaller brand pieces you can find too. i had gotten a nice wool/cashmere coat for 70 bucks from a secondhand store in japan

Buying a wool coat from an 'unknown' brand

this brand is not bad. it's a low to mid tier domestic market Korean brand and I don't think 20% nylon is that bad, although I would prefer in the 0-10% range you won't find many ppl on western discords who know domestic korean brands in general but that said everyone else is right, you are lucky to be in japan and have better options for less money everywhere. Smaller 2nd streets can still carry some nice pieces and there are good e-commerce options like yjp and good time to shop sales domestically

studio nicholson is not that interesting to me, lemaire is almost neo-classical at times , rainmaker is maybe more of a toss up but fair enough
