–SPECIAL– "JUNYA WATANABE COMME des GARÇONS MAN" 2015AW mohair blend satin shawl lapels jacket

Backed by the experimental spirit cultivated by COMME des GARCONS, JUNYA WATANABE COMME des GARÇONS MAN has continuously updated adult mode by quietly challenging the conventions of tailoring. Here, we introduce a special tuxedo-style piece that subverts formal expectations through its material.

This exquisite piece is completed by overlaying the satin's neatness over the rugged expression of mohair blend.

First and foremost, the shawl collar, a symbol of the tuxedo, is made with satin, giving a smooth surface that adds elegance around the face. The rough fluffiness of the body does not turn into mere casualness but maintains a tense balance. The fabric is mainly cotton mixed with mohair, supported by nylon and wool, with long mohair fibers that contain air, ensuring practicality while maintaining the jacket's shape.

The front features a neat one-button design, and the chest pocket is refined with piping, emphasizing line beauty rather than decoration, which is characteristic of JUNYA. The waist pockets also feature satin inserts, guiding the gaze naturally horizontally and making the wearer's stance look very smart. Additionally, the cuffs are finished with matching fabric buttons, eliminating metallic accents and allowing the material contrast to stand out as the main feature.

And the fact that this piece is from the fall/winter 2015 collection can be physically proven by the AD2015 print on the care label, confirming the planning and manufacturing year as 2015. The style number WP-J019 aligns with the season's line, ensuring the reliability of its age. Despite its sharp appearance, the lining uses cupro, and silk is mixed into the satin parts, carefully designed for smoothness and comfort when worn. There are no compromises in the choice of auxiliary materials to transition the exterior's punk aesthetic into adult formalwear.

The back style eliminates excessive decoration, but with elbow patches, it creates a subtle nod to the formality of a tuxedo while adding a workwear touch, producing a paradox unique to this brand: the more formal you wear it seriously, the more it appears mode. This jacket is especially recommended for those who find overly polished dresses unsatisfactory but do not want to go fully casual. As a MOOD, it is not only for special days but also a tool to add tension to everyday outfits.

In terms of styling, pairing a minimal shirt with slacks and emphasizing the texture of the jacket naturally conveys the avant-garde formality of 2015AW. If you layer high-quality knitwear with tapered pants to create a calm space, the shadow of the pile subtly shines, resulting in a genderless finish. For the footwear, pairing with leather shoes or boots adds sophistication, tightening the overall look and making the material's betrayal appear more refined.

Take this opportunity without fail.
