[Orders Closed] Midi Gilet

KARL DONOGHUE's masterpiece
to accompany you through life

This time, AMARC LIFE STORE brings you an updated model of the "Tuscan Lambskin Gilet," a highly popular brand staple. With felt-finished lambskin adorning the hem and side panels, it has been elevated to a more refined impression. This item is also attracting attention at many select shops.

Unlike the large shoulder designs often seen in European brands, Karl Donoghue annually fine-tunes its patterns to fit the Japanese physique. The easy-to-wear sizing is also one of the reasons for its long-standing popularity. The neckline features a hook-and-loop closure, resulting in a minimalist yet refined finish.

The material used is luxurious "Tuscan Shearling," high-quality lambskin from Spanish Tuscan sheep. Tuscan shearling is characterized by its long, soft pile and emits a silky, elegant luster. Furthermore, the double-faced (single-hide) specification allows you to enjoy the depth unique to natural materials and an exceptionally high-quality texture. While offering a light and soft wearing experience, it also boasts excellent heat retention.

It can be worn as an inner layer under a coat or as a light outer layer. This piece blends naturally into everyday outfits while subtly adding a touch of luxury.

Designer KARL DONOGHUE was born in Yorkshire, England. To study fashion, he enrolled in London's Ravensbourne University in 1991. His graduation project was highly acclaimed, leading him to establish his own label specializing in shearling, leather, and fur. He never compromises on material selection or design, always offering innovative and stylish leather. His career began when his first collection caught the eye of "BARNEYS NEW YORK," which bought all of his pieces. Attracting buyers worldwide, his brand is now sold in over 100 shops across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Hello everyone, I'm Naoko Okusa. We've been through spring storms and still shiver on cold nights. This is how the seasons undoubtedly move forward. A hopeful spring. I'm already excited.

And, in the midst of all that, today I'm introducing a fur item (laughs). Hehe. Why? Because if you don't order it now, it won't be ready for autumn this year. As you all know, I've picked out three items from my beloved "Karl Donoghue." "Karl Donoghue" is a British brand that insists on MADE IN ENGLAND. Its debut collection in 1995 has an anecdote (!!) that a buyer from a luxury department store in America (the now-defunct Barneys New York) bought every single piece. I've also had dinner with Karl himself, and this time, I fell in love with this gilet at the 2026 AW exhibition and made an enthusiastic offer to bring it to AMARC LIFE STORE customers. What's so good about it? It feels like it could be a very long explanation, so I'll write it in bullet points (laughs).

I borrowed a sample and tried it on for several days, and I understood why a certain very popular select shop buys so many of them every year ♡ It's excellent. As expected of a top brand that has been designing leather and fur for many years. In autumn, wear it with a T-shirt or a thin knit; in winter, layer it over a chunky knit, or wear it both under and over a coat in mid-winter. In spring, layer it over a shirt—I want you to enjoy it for many seasons. Additionally, I'm more excited than anyone else to cherish it for many years, enjoy its aging process, and incorporate it into my coordination.

I also requested a buttoned cape made of the same material. When you fold the top and wrap it, it beautifully frames your face, which is also great. You can wear it over jackets, dresses, or coats, and with this type, you don't have to take it off indoors, so you can use it in various situations. Oh, this is cute too! And, the fingerless gloves are actually an item I already use and love. Not only are they warm, but they're also excellent as a focal point at the cuffs of knits and outerwear, so I specially secured a certain number for this occasion. We're offering them at a delightful discounted price as a set for those who purchase the gilet. Since quantities are quite limited, please understand that the gloves will not be sold separately.
