-MOOD MILLÉSIMES- 90’s oversized belted double long coat

From MOOD MILLÉSIMES, which reconsiders the texture of materials that remain on garments long after time has passed and, through MOOD’s discerning eye for aesthetics, proposes them as new value for today’s styling— we are pleased to introduce a standout piece with a refined silhouette.

Tailored by Comme des Garçons Homme’s Komatsu de la Mode Men, which helped establish Japan’s modern men’s fashion scene from the early to mid-1990s, this double-breasted belted long coat carries an urban, polished sense of air.

Physical evidence truly attests to the backdrop of the most mature era in Japan’s DC brand history: a large jet-black brand patch positioned at the top of the inner pocket, quality markings in Japanese only in accordance with the former JIS standards, and traces of careful domestic tailoring by Five Fox, the manufacturer. Particularly noteworthy is the look of an advanced high-tech material that was emblematic of the time— a blend of 75% polyester and 25% nylon. The matte beige textile, woven at high density, maintains a suitable firmness while remaining surprisingly lightweight; it expresses the smooth touch unique to a nylon blend and a distinctly “broken-in” wrinkle character. Each time it catches the wind, the dull yet elegant shading creates a kind of inorganic elegance that you simply cannot find in today’s natural fibers or inexpensive synthetic blends.

The silhouette features raglan sleeves that drop cleanly along the shoulder line, as well as an exceptionally roomy fit through the chest width and armholes—an elegant oversized proportion distinctive of the 1990s. The A-line cutting that creates a rich fullness through the upper body and gracefully widens toward the hem—produced by cinching the belt tightly—forms a dramatic outline of the body, one that cannot be seen in today’s streamlined ready-to-wear. In addition, the back is fitted with extremely deep inverted pleats secured with buttons; the coat hem also moves dynamically with each step, like a sartorial design. Details such as the brown genuine-leather-wrapped buckle on the waist belt, four-button front with an elegant marbled pattern, and adjustable strap at the cuffs will astonish you with how they transform classic military coat motifs into something modern.

On the leather buckle portion of the waist belt, you can see natural scuffs formed over years of wear; this is proof that the garment has genuinely lived through time, adding a deeply characterful expression as an individuality of the piece. There are no conspicuous scuffs or stains on the fabric itself or on the cupro-mixed lining, nor any fatal deterioration—so it remains in excellent condition as a vintage item, and you can enjoy it for years in your everyday life from here on.

The overwhelming volume unique to this era and the minimalist color balance will add fresh tension and depth to your outfits when you introduce this one piece into your current, clean wardrobe. For those who love the aesthetic sensibility from the time when domestic brands shone brightest, and who want to enjoy the authentic textures created by excellent tailoring and the accumulation of time—this is an item we sincerely recommend you get your hands on.

For styling suggestions, pair a clean white broadcloth shirt or a fluid black silk blouse as the inner layer, tucking neatly for a streamlined look. For the bottoms, choose premium black dress slacks tailored from wool gabardine—an austere monochrome look like this would be especially beautiful. Tie the coat belt casually at the waist, leveraging the generous wide form; then bring in glossy leather shoes or square-toe side-gore boots at your feet to elegantly tighten the overall impression. Also, a genderless styling with a soft long skirt and understated silver jewelry will highlight the urban beige color and beautiful drape of the coat, allowing you to enjoy refined contemporary mode.

By all means, take this opportunity.
