A look at some of the vintage calico patterns that are used by the Japanese brand Corona for inspiration.
—01. Red/navy.
—02. Made in Japan.
—03. Two color options.
A nice summer staple from Corona in Japan, available in two good color combinations. The simple pocket tee needs no reinvention.
—01. Cross Town Jacket.
—02. Explorer Vest.
The new Summer 2012 collection from Corona offers a small but perfectly formed selection that pretty much covers all the Spring bases. These are easy to wear pieces in lightweight fabrics, with a good amount of attention paid to both colour and print. Light layering at it's very best.
—01. Olive.
—02. Tan.
Corona's clean lines and nice fabrics are ideal for utilitarian style garments like this vest. With adequate pockets outside and in, the muted tones also add to the wear-ability and versatility on this classic mid-layer.
—01. Fadeless Jacket.
—02. Game Jacket.
Almost impossible to find outside of Japan, Corona have been producing some great pieces for several seasons now. A relative hidden gem, the brand makes hunting and workwear inspired clothing that definitely deserves more attention this side of the North Pacific. Exceptional fits, and great fabric choices certainly make them worthy of consideration, and Extra in New York has recently received very limited sizes and quantities of the the Game Jacket in Harris Tweed. The price on these is unfortunately high, made in Japan and imported to the US with the current Yen Vs. Dollar exchange rate does not bode too well for those looking for a bargain, but for anyone with some money to burn they certainly come highly recommended.
