Ink Wash Grid 水墨方寸 – Retro Checkered Cotton Frog Closure Jacket

Part of the “Ink Wash Grid” (水墨方寸) collection, this oversized jacket blends the structure of an improved Tang suit with a nostalgic checkered aesthetic. It is a versatile choice for those seeking a literary, unisex outerwear piece designed for substantial winter layering.

This modern interpretation of the traditional Tang suit features a relaxed, oversized silhouette that fits a wide range of body types. The exterior is crafted from high-density cotton, treated with a specialized aging wash process. This technique gives the black-and-white checkered pattern a softened, sun-faded appearance and a broken-in texture that feels exceptionally soft against the skin while maintaining wind-resistant thickness.

Authentic Chinese frog closures serve as the functional focal point, adding a layer of ethnic craftsmanship to the vintage-inspired grid pattern. With a generous 130cm bust, this jacket provides ample room for thick sweaters or hoodies, making it a practical choice for cold-weather daily wear without sacrificing a clean, literary aesthetic.

• Seasonality: Heavyweight cotton fabric suitable for winter, providing warmth through a high-density weave.
• Craftsmanship: Aging wash-water process for a vintage, matte finish and natural color transitions.
• Versatile Fit: Designed as a one-size-fits-all unisex garment. Recommended for heights 160–180cm (5’3″–5’11”) and weights 50–85kg (110–187lbs).
• Style Details: Classic long sleeves and a stand-collar design with traditional frog button closures.

Please note that sizes are Asian sizes. The oversized cut is intended for a loose, relaxed fit. Manual measurements may vary by 2-3cm.

To preserve the aging wash finish and the integrity of the cotton fibers, we recommend hand washing or using a gentle machine cycle in cold water. Avoid high-heat drying to prevent shrinkage of the natural cotton material.
