"COMME des GARCONS HOMME" 03AW corduroy collar design stand collar long coat

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 would like to introduce a special item from COMME des GARCONS HOMME.

The deep brown cotton shell is accented with a voluminous collar made of thick black corduroy, creating a contrasting effect, and the subtle sheen gives it a calm depth, creating a masterpiece that combines the elegance of a British mac coat with the intellectual tension that is characteristic of Comme des Garçons.

The front is a fly, highlighting the beauty of the vertically sloping surface. The raglan sleeves allow for greater shoulder movement, and the lines do not become muddy even when a thick knit or jacket is tucked inside. The straps on the cuffs catch the wind, creating a sophisticated balance between function and appearance.

The deep V-shaped corduroy collar is designed to create a center of gravity around the face, and the contrasting colors add shadows to the expression, making the outfit look even more refined.

The core of Tanaka Homme's early 2003 Autumn/Winter collection was the quiet transference of practical codes derived from work, military, and outdoor wear into the grammar of everyday wear. Rather than exaggerating or deconstructing, the brand presented a "mode rooted in everyday life" by focusing on the contrast of material textures and tones, and on wearable design, and maintained a consistent approach of incorporating even the shading that develops over time into its aesthetic. This piece truly embodies this philosophy, creating depth through the contrast between the matte finish reminiscent of oilcloth and the tactile feel of the corduroy collar, making it a piece that embodies the inevitability of the Tanaka period, where function dictates form, in its details.

One notable added value is that the center of gravity design around the face and the flat surface of the fly create a "quiet and tidy" look the moment you put it on, so just putting it on casually elevates the overall elegance of your outfit. Another advantage is that the vertical lines embrace the individuality of your body, making it versatile enough to become the core of your wardrobe regardless of your style.

As for styling, layering dark-toned wool slacks with a high-gauge turtleneck and finishing with subdued leather shoes will bring the texture of the collar to the forefront while still maintaining a refined, genderless balance. Also, tucking a knit into a dress shirt and emphasizing the vertical lines with center-pressed trousers will naturally bring out the Tanaka period's perspective of "elevating practicality to high quality," elevating it to a sophisticated look with contemporary luxury.

Please take this opportunity.
