In this article, we provide an in-depth introduction to the "JESTER JKT - Tan/Black" released from Uma Wang’s 2025SS collection. We focus especially on the *true intrinsic value* of the item, explaining details about the materials, tailoring, and wearing experience in a clear and thorough manner.

Additionally, we touch on the brand’s background and craftsmanship philosophy, assembling compelling reasons for those considering a purchase to feel convinced that "this is an investment-worthy piece."
Drawing from the perspective of a store that has handled Uma Wang for many seasons, we invite you to truly experience the "essential value" that the JESTER JKT - Tan/Black embodies.

Design and Wearability: An Innovative Silhouette Inspired by the Hanten

Pursuit of Functional Beauty: The Appeal of Simple Hanten Construction

Uma Wang’s “JESTER JKT” is characterized by a simple construction reminiscent of the traditional Japanese "hanten." The hanten originated during the Edo period as a winter coat for the common people and has been used as workwear and ceremonial attire. Typically padded for warmth, this piece deliberately omits padding to emphasize the hanten’s original straightforward, linear pattern.

A notable feature is the tie-front design, avoiding buttons or zippers. This choice reflects the brand’s philosophy of "beautifully completing only the essential functions." Even the patch pockets on the front are minimalistic, focusing on functionality. Simple yet profoundly attractive, this piece fully embodies the 25SS collection’s theme of “reduction.”

Drape and Fit That Naturally Conforms to the Body

The JESTER JKT’s greatest charm lies in its silhouette, which naturally falls along the body. The excellent drape of viscose fabric, combined with a relaxed fit, allows the garment to flow gently with the wearer’s movements.
With generous width and dropped shoulders, it achieves both casual looseness and elegance. Rather than merely covering the body, the design “wraps the body in fabric to create a sculptural three-dimensional form,” fully capturing Uma Wang’s signature aesthetic where the fabric shapes space.

Real Wearing Experience: The Authentic Feel of Viscose

According to staff fitting reports, the light and airy feel of the JESTER JKT is highly praised.

- Does not cling to the body and offers excellent breathability
- Drape flows beautifully with movement
- Conveys an intelligent and composed impression
- Lightweight and stress-free for long wear
- The fabric sways elegantly in the breeze

As a spring-summer outer layer, it combines outstanding comfort with an elegant air, making it a highly versatile jacket.

The Hidden Charm of the JESTER JKT: The Depth of Viscose and Uncompromising Craftsmanship

Carefully Selected Materials: The Fusion of Viscose and Herringbone

In this jacket, viscose fabric is skillfully combined with a herringbone weave to express a "dialogue between materials." The fluidity unique to viscose and the classical, slightly rigid impression of the herringbone coexist, achieving a perfect balance of lightness and substance.

Uma Wang is also highly skilled at blending knits with wovens, collaborating with Italian textile mills to develop exclusive fabrics. Rather than serving as mere decoration, the meticulous pursuit of "materiality" that influences the entire garment’s structure and comfort is strongly reflected in the 25SS collection.

The Pinnacle of Craftsmanship: Secrets of Sewing, Tailoring, and Pattern-Making

The pattern-making is calculated down to the millimeter, and the meticulous stitching stands out. Rather than relying on gloss or flashy decoration, the refined tailoring brings out the natural beauty of the fabric. The unique "precious" fabrics, created in collaboration with Italian textile artisans, boast a high level of completion, even turning natural aging into a feature.

Furthermore, the brand’s characteristic draping technique treats fabric as a canvas, sculpting it into a three-dimensional form through the wearer’s body. Behind the seemingly simple jacket lies a deep complexity and silhouette transformation, achieved through an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship from material selection to fine details.

Size Guide: How to Achieve the Perfect Fit

Key Features and Basic Tips for Choosing the Right Size

Uma Wang’s pieces generally feature a relaxed silhouette, and the JESTER JKT is no exception. It’s designed with generous room around the shoulders and body to allow for easy layering. Normally, your regular size is recommended, but if you prefer a cleaner, sharper look, consider sizing down one. For a more dramatic drape, staying true to size or sizing up is ideal.

[Important] Staff Fitting Reports by Body Type

- Staff A (Height: 170cm / Usually wears M): Wearing M size provided a comfortable amount of room around the shoulders. The sleeves were slightly long, but rolling them up created a stylish, relaxed look.
- Staff B (Height: 178cm / Usually wears L): M size still felt roomy. Although the length was shorter, the overall balance was easy to maintain, achieving a casual yet polished impression.

Maintenance Tips: How to Preserve Its Quality for Years

Care Instructions Based on Material Characteristics

Since it’s made of 100% viscose—a delicate fabric—it’s recommended to hand wash or dry clean following the care label instructions. Using a laundry net can prevent deformation and color transfer. Always air dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area to maintain the garment's original texture and structure.

Ironing and Wrinkle Care

Although viscose tends to wrinkle easily, the wrinkles are also easy to remove with proper ironing. Press from the reverse side using a cloth at low to medium temperature to smooth out creases without damaging the texture or sheen.

Usage Tips: Honest Advice

Viscose is prone to wrinkling when damp, so it’s best to pay extra attention on rainy days. Minor color irregularities and dye variations may occur naturally, but viewing these as part of the garment’s character is key. If you have concerns, it’s advisable to consult the staff before purchasing.
