CLASS and International Gallery BEAMS have revisited a 2021 electric heating-wire jacket. The new version uses high-density gabardine, replaces the wires with visible twine stitching, adds an ultra-suede placket, and finishes the surface with silver-foil print. That is a much more interesting archive move than a faithful reissue: the obsolete function disappears, but its circuit-like trace remains as construction. It costs ¥130,900 in khaki or black, sizes 1 and 2, through BEAMS in Japan. Treat it as design research, not a buy—fit, stock, duties, and returns are unverified. BEAMS
