Rilu: Thank you :) The coat is made in deep purple wool in two tones. I'd definitely wear it unbelted in the future, but if I were to get rid of the belt in this fit, everything would hang loose. The Yohji coat is cut very large overall and droopy on the shoulders. The silhouette would become bottom-heavy due to the large volume of the cardigan and I might end up looking like some hipster with a haul of oversized 80s blazers from the thrift shop. With that said, there's lots of room for experimentation with the coat so I'll be back with the results soon.
Michael_kard & jogu: Thank you for your kind words
Mrbeuys: The Yohji coat was purposefully worn that way with the help of the belt, quite like a geisha's kimono. I do leave it out when I go on short, uneventful trips but there's a lot less fun without the purple coat.
Pumpfish: Yes perhaps the belt gave a bit too much of a jolt as opposed to all the other cooler colours, but you are spot on about needing the belt for the pieces to stay in place.
