“COMME des GARÇONS” 2010’s CDG Molinel work coat

This standout CDG work coat, created in collaboration with Molinel, is where the practicality of French workwear intersects with COMME des GARÇONS’s skill in reconfiguring everyday wear into something new.

Using ivory-tinged white cotton fabric, it is tailored into a long silhouette with a pleasing amount of structure and a smooth surface feel. Combining notch lapels reminiscent of a tailored jacket with practical pockets typical of workwear allows both poise and functionality to be expressed at once.

On the front, multiple buttons are arranged, and the placket running from the chest to the hem emphasizes a vertical line. Another distinctive feature is the pocket design, with a different configuration on the left and right. Flap chest pockets and patch pockets positioned large on the waist add visual variation to an otherwise simple appearance.

The raglan sleeves provide some ease from the shoulder through to the sleeve, creating a softer shoulder line while making it easy to accommodate thicker inner layers. On the back, large logo prints of CDG and COMME des GARÇONS are prominently applied, and the contrast with the understated impression of the front lends the wearer a distinct, brand-defining presence from behind.

At the neckline, Molinel’s woven tag and CDG’s brand tag are placed side by side, and the size is marked as L. Since it includes “AD2017,” it is reasonable to determine that the item dates to the 2010s—particularly around 2017.

Built on a work coat base, this garment incorporates a tailored collar, a long length, and a bold graphic on the back, giving it fashion appeal that goes beyond mere workwear. It is especially recommended for those who want to incorporate a luxury-brand outerwear piece into everyday life without fuss, or for those seeking a touch of mode in a well-balanced, uniform-like design.

For styling, you can achieve a neat monochrome look by pairing black wide slacks with a shirt, or add soft movement over a fitted one-piece or a long skirt for a gentler take on the straight, workwear-like silhouette. With leather shoes and a simple leather bag, you can enjoy a refined COMME des GARÇONS look that puts the logo on the back in the spotlight, regardless of gender.
