"COMME des GARCONS HOMME" 90's Keiichi Tanaka design striped shirt

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 are pleased to present to you a very precious piece from COMME des GARCONS HOMME.

This exquisite item, made in 1992, features a beautiful dobby striped shirt pattern that is symbolic of the Tanaka Keiichi design period of COMME des GARÇONS HOMME.

At first glance, it looks like a very honest white shirt, but the entire body is subtly woven with stripes, and the vertical lines softly emerge depending on the light, giving it a depth that you can enjoy that you won't get with a plain shirt.

The slightly larger collar has a relaxed feel typical of the 90s, but is also balanced to give a crisp look to the neckline, naturally capturing both a neat look when buttoned up all the way and a relaxed feel when the first button is undone.

The silhouette is boxy with a relaxed fit, and the shoulder line falls straight down, creating a unique, airy form without clinging too closely to the body. There is one slightly large pocket on the chest, which is practical yet adds a subtle rhythm to the front.

The sleeves are held together with compact cuffs, giving a clean look to the wrist, which goes well with watches and bracelets and makes even the most casual movements look beautiful.

The fabric is dobby cotton, woven with fine yarn at a high density, and while the surface is smooth to the touch, it also has a slight firmness.It becomes softer with repeated washing, but the lines of the collar and placket stand up neatly, demonstrating the high quality of the material.

Although this shirt is over 30 years old, it doesn't look dated even today, thanks to the attention to textiles and pattern work that was precisely tailored to the millimeter. Behind its simplicity that blends into everyday life, there is a tension that is unique to Tanaka Homme, that "looks ordinary, but is not ordinary," and this is the added value that only this particular shirt has.

COMME des GARÇONS HOMME, created by Tanaka Keiichi, is known for its appealing approach to everyday wear for adult men, with subtle differences in silhouette and choice of material creating a different atmosphere, and this shirt truly embodies that philosophy. Simply slipping it on casually in your daily life will give your entire outfit a slightly more refined feel, making it a perfect addition to the wardrobe of anyone, regardless of gender, who enjoys a "quiet mode" look.

To style it, tuck the shirt in with wool slacks or center-pressed pants and finish with leather shoes to create a clean, neat outfit with the subtle nuances of the woven pattern creating a modern business look.You can also wear the shirt loosely and layer it with a long coat or tailored jacket to create a genderless layered look that emphasizes the vertical lines.

Please take this opportunity.
