"tricot COMME des GARCONS" 07AW Military detail double-breasted compact jacket

Comme des Garçons female designer

Created by Tao Kurihara, the line is named after the word "tricot," which means knitting, and has been a staple since its founding in 1981.

We would like to introduce a conceptual masterpiece from tricot COMME des GARCONS, which continues to create unique and eccentric designs.

This masterpiece from tricot COMME des GARÇONS' 2007 Autumn/Winter season features slightly compact shoulders, a straight silhouette that falls straight down, and an impressive array of camel-colored buttons.

While incorporating elements of military peacoats and work jackets, it is made from soft cut and sewn material rather than woven fabric, giving it a refined look while remaining as light and comfortable as a sweatshirt, creating a charming balance. The slightly wider lapels give a clean look around the face, and the regular rows of double-breasted buttons on the front give it both a unique and neat look that is characteristic of Trico.

With just one patch pocket on the chest and two large outer pockets on each side of the waist, the design subtly incorporates the practicality of workwear, and the casual appearance is a clear expression of Toriko's spirit of "adding a little twist to everyday clothing." The inside is made in a single piece with no lining, so it is not heavy like a coat liner and is light enough to wear like a shirt, making it a piece that succinctly embodies Toriko's specialty of the late 2000s, "blurring the line between tailored and cut and sew."

The 2007 Autumn/Winter season was a collection period in which the symbols of classic clothing were gradually shifted and reconstructed into forms that fit into modern everyday life, and this jacket could be said to be an item that was born within that context.

The double-breasted design resembles military uniform, and the deliberate use of a generous number of simple resin buttons gives it a charming mood rather than an intimidating one, giving it a softness that can be enjoyed by wearers of all ages and genders.

In terms of styling, we recommend layering it casually over crisp slacks or simple wide-leg pants, as it's not as formal as a tailored jacket, yet gives a more toned-down look than a knit cardigan. Also, pairing it with a long skirt or slim pants and keeping it simple with a plain knit or cut-and-sew top underneath will make the rhythm of the buttons stand out as a nice accent.

Please take this opportunity.
