"tricot COMME des GARÇONS" 80's Tailored double-breasted maxi coat

"tricot COMME des GARÇONS"
80's Six-button double-breasted wool maxi coat

From tricot COMME des GARÇONS, a label that has woven an avant-garde sensibility into the everyday’s accessibility and built its own distinctive style, we present a masterpiece of a distinctly structured design.

With its neat double-breasted front and a maxi length that flows to the hem, this archival piece offers a poised, unmistakable presence against minimalist black.

The outer fabric is made of 100% wool, and its smooth texture and supple drape beautifully accentuate the vertically elongated form. The front with six buttons and the refined notch lapels create the classic look of a coat, while a design that keeps ornamentation restrained conveys a quiet tension that is unmistakably characteristic of the brand.

In addition to a clean, straight line that continues from the fitted bodice to the hem, vertical paneling on the back adds natural depth to the silhouette. As a maxi length, it never feels heavy; with every step, the wool fabric sways gently, resulting in an artistic yet practical balance.

Inside, it is fully lined with 100% cupro, providing a smooth feel. It is easy to slip on over knitwear and jackets, and with a listed size of M, you can enjoy styling that makes the most of the long length enveloping the body and the straight, clean contours.

The AD1988 shown on the quality label indicates the production management year of 1988. Given that its old-style labeling and the “Made in Japan” notation also align with the specifications of that period, this piece can be identified as one from the late 1980s. It also overlaps with the early era when Junya Watanabe was responsible for tricot’s designs, and the strength of its archival material—down to preserved tags and specifications that differ from current production—is a major added value.

We hope you’ll choose this black long coat not merely as a basic, but as something to be selected for its silhouette and the context of the era. Pair it with wide slacks and a neat shirt for a refined, sharpened look; wear it over denim or a lightweight knit and it becomes a mode style that blends naturally into everyday life.

A piece you can cherish for years, combining classic structure, a powerful vertical line, and archival value unique to the late 1980s. Please take this opportunity.
