Coat - Number 20 Water Prince -
The subtitle "WATER PRINCE" is not arbitrary. In COAT’s nomenclature, "Water" typically refers to a thematic setting involving swimming, water sports, or an aesthetic of "clean, refreshing beauty" (the Mizugi or swimsuit motif). The "Prince" ( Ouji ) denotes the archetype of the featured models: slender, handsome, often with a somewhat reserved or princely demeanor, as opposed to the rougher "Athlete" or "Wild" types found in other series volumes.
The Water Prince iteration evolved from the classic trench and macintosh styles, stripping away the excess "tactical" clutter (like epaulets and gun flaps) to focus on a clean, architectural line that commands respect.
