To showcase the contradiction of lifestyles during California Gold Rush Era. The foreign Chinese immigrants, as the blue collar, were put in great health risks to dig out every pounds of minerals and gold within the dirty ground, while the locals were actually the only ones enjoying the joy of wealth from the final products.
The contradiction is perfectly showcased through the coat with the Deep Navy colorway representing the blue collar and the bronze stripes representing the gold. The person wearing the coat is able to touch the bronze stripes, but can never fully see or grasp them.
