"COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS" 90AW Corduroy piped boxy blazer

Based on ready-made tailoring and quietly shifting the norms of clothing, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS presents an impressive piece with piping design that draws a rebellious line around the contours of classicism.

This exquisite piece uses luxuriously mid-thick corduroy with a brushed shadow that softly absorbs light, yet when touched, it responds with a dry, firm texture.

The twisted cord piping that runs continuously from the lapel to the hem and further to the pocket edges accentuates the jacket's contours as if tracing its original lines, evoking memories of school jackets but leaving a lingering sense of discomfort that is not just neatness. Instead of embellishing with decoration, it transforms the boundary of tailoring itself into a design, making it a piece that conveys strength only when viewed up close.

The front has three buttons, and the chest and waist pockets are designed larger, maintaining the form of a classic blazer while also being practical. The cuffs are also unified with three buttons, ensuring the overall rhythm remains seamless. The shoulder to width design is boxy with a sense of roominess, and combined with the thickness of the corduroy, it creates a three-dimensional effect, making it less likely to lose its outline when worn and maintaining a dignified presence.

Since the lining is also 100% cotton, it feels smooth against the skin, and while it supports the heavy outer fabric, it is comfortable to wear without becoming overly stiff. Additionally, the historical context is interesting, with the AD1990 date clearly marked on the quality label, and the choice of corduroy as a material providing a physical basis for fall/winter items, making it a highly credible piece that can be understood as manufactured in 1990 and in the context of 1990 Autumn/Winter.

As for the condition, there are slight flattening of the ridges characteristic of corduroy that has aged over many years, and light fuzziness on the piping parts, but conversely, this gives it a texture that seems to retain the atmosphere of the time on the surface of the fabric, and not only adds value as a collector's piece but also enhances its persuasive power when incorporated into everyday wear. The fact that AD labeling directly proves it as a product from the early 90s when Comme des Garçons was establishing its position in Paris is also a significant added value, quietly carrying the weight of an archive.

In terms of styling, creating a tailoring focus with neat slacks and a simple shirt makes the piping play stand out more, and layering a long coat or minimal high-neck top to balance the volume can be said to be a superb piece that lands in a genderless, tense mood.

Definitely take this opportunity.
