“COMME des GARCONS” 90’s black tailored long coat

Since its founding in 1969, COMME des GARCONS has continued to rebuild existing tailoring and clothing concepts from its own perspective, presenting bold creations grounded in black to the world. From COMME des GARCONS, we would like to introduce a long coat that conveys the refined tailoring of the late 1990s.

The black body crafted from premium 100% wool has a composed expression that seems to absorb light, while offering a supple drape and a just-right firmness—so that the beauty of the tailoring is conveyed exactly as it is in this standout piece.

The front is set with large, designed notch lapels, emphasizing the vertical line that flows from the neckline to the chest. The shoulder area is not overly exaggerated, resulting in a constructed silhouette that naturally follows the body. Even though it is a classic coat, you can feel the distinctive sense of tension that is unmistakably COMME des GARCONS.

The front with three buttons creates a more elongated impression when the buttons are fastened, further refining the long-length silhouette. By adding horizontal lines to the waist area through the flap pockets on the left and right, it also creates an appropriate sense of stability within the vertical silhouette.

While the exterior is kept extremely simple in black, the interior features a jacquard lining woven with botanical and abstract motifs. The pattern that appears only while being worn or at the moment you take it off gives the coat’s calm, quiet presence on the surface added depth. Its charm lies in the design philosophy that ensures even unseen areas are truly realized as design.

Regarding the period, the AD199 code shown on the quality label serves as the basis, suggesting it dates to the 1990s. Since all the relevant information is consistent— the brand-woven care name, the quality label indicating COMME des GARCONS (Co., Ltd.), the outer fabric is 100% wool, and the lining is 100% cupro—there is clear, physical information to support the age estimate.

This is recommended not only for those seeking a simple tailored coat, but also for those who wish to incorporate COMME des GARCONS’s distinctive, architectural sense of beauty into everyday attire. Without relying on bold decorative elements, you can showcase individuality through the lapels, the length, and the character of the lining—making it a coat you can naturally incorporate into daily life as a piece you will enjoy for years.

As a styling choice, pairing a white shirt with wide slacks creates a neat, refined monochrome look that brings out the tailoring of the coat. The ensemble of slim-cut trousers and leather shoes highlights vertical lines, and a style that pairs a long skirt for subtle movement in the silhouette is also beautiful. It is a standout piece that allows you to enjoy a harmonious balance of classic and mode—without regard to gender.

Please take advantage of this opportunity.
