Midas - Tasseled Asymmetrical Napoleon Wool Jacket

Midas, a Japanese fashion brand established in the early 2000s by Hiroshi Tanaka in Osaka, was born from a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and a desire to reimagine traditional Japanese techniques in modern apparel. Tanaka, who grew up surrounded by Osaka's vibrant textile industry, was heavily influenced by its rich history of dyeing and weaving. He sought to create a label that celebrated this heritage while infusing it with contemporary relevance.Focusing initially on jackets, Tanaka envisioned them as both functional garments and statements of artistry. He believed a jacket could embody the balance between protection and personal expression, much like armor in ancient times. Inspired by this concept, Midas became renowned for its meticulous construction and innovative use of materials. His vision was not only to create clothing but to craft enduring pieces that tell a story through their design and construction.

This Napoleon jacket embodies a balance of untamed character and refined sophistication. Constructed entirely from wool, it offers natural insulation, breathability, and excellent shape retention—delivering both functionality and timeless appeal. The high-buttoned collar adds a sense of regality while providing additional warmth and structure to the neckline. Custom Victorian-embellished hardware reinforces the brand’s artisanal identity, while wrist straps allow for subtle adjustment and controlled layering. A double-slider front zipper enables versatile styling options, anchored by a special coating tassel with a skull motif stud that chains the zipper and pocket together—serving as both an ornamental accent and functional tether. The interior is fully lined with a rich vermillion paisley graphic, nodding to the brand’s historical design language and adding a vivid layer of visual depth to the piece. A revered construction that stands proper in any wardrobe.
