In this new line of clothing, Trove introduced a wool haori half-coat that makes everyone who wears it feel like a cool samurai. There are two colors to choose from, according to Youpouch as translated by SoraNews 24. One is in a dark brown variant.
And the other is in navy blue color.
While these tops may look aesthetically pleasing, the wool hakama pants will definitely make you look more like a samurai than anything else.
