“COMME des GARÇONS HOMME” 88AW Boxy plaid tailored jacket

Based on the concepts of "rebellious spirit" and "something never before seen," he has produced many designs that overturn preconceived notions of fashion, specializing in the reconstruction of dresses and jackets and three-dimensional cutwork.

We will be introducing valuable archive pieces from COMME des GARCONS HOMME.

This masterpiece has a history dating back to the 1988 Fall/Winter collection.

The appeal of this design lies in its boxy proportions with well-defined shoulder lines, which are unique to the period when Rei Kawakubo was in charge of men's direction. Just by putting the sleeves on, the garment creates angular shapes on the upper body, making even your posture appear more dignified.

The textured checked fabric has depth the closer you look at it, and from a distance it appears solid, but the moment you move, the grid pops out, leaving a strong presence without being too bold. The material is mainly wool with a small amount of nylon mixed in, so it has a warm, brushed feel, but is less likely to lose its shape than pure wool, and its value lies in the fact that it retains the beauty of its surface over the years.

The front features a neat single two-button design, and the angle of the lapels creates a deep V-zone, giving the face a sharp look. Combined with the roomy width, this creates a sense of "elegance without being too tight," which is typical of this era.

The pockets on the waist have a subtle welt, and the idea of ​​using lines rather than decoration to attract attention is adhered to, and the buttons on the cuffs are also fastened with a modest sheen, allowing the shadows of the material and the three-dimensionality of the tailoring to take center stage. The lining is smooth, so it is easy to put on regardless of the inner layer, and it is also nice that it does not cause stress even when layered in autumn and winter.

In terms of styling, pairing a minimalist high-neck top with center-pleated slacks is a beautiful way to make the most of the boxy lines created by the shoulders and body width of the jacket, while layering a band collar shirt with wool trousers and finishing off with leather shoes will naturally bring out the intelligence of Comme des Garçons and the atmosphere of the 1980s.
