Size M, with an Aviakit label reading 40, worn in and unmistakably individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLewis Leathers has cut motorcycle jackets in London since the early twentieth century, and its Aviakit label belongs to the same lineage of British riding wear. Comme des Garçons, the Tokyo house founded by Rei Kawakubo, has long been drawn to that tradition of rebellious tailoring. Together they produced this double rider, which is recorded as an Aoyama exclusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather is black and softly rubbed, with the lighter wear of an aged finish across the shoulders, sleeves and hem. Across the back, in loose white capitals, runs the message LIVE FREE DIE STRONG above the name of the house, while a smaller Comme des Garçons inscription is brushed down the lower sleeve. The front is cut asymmetrically in the classic double rider manner, with a stand collar, a diagonal zip, zipped pockets, zipped cuffs and twin buckled straps at the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label gives Aviakit size 40, and the piece is recorded as size M. Flat measurements can be confirmed by our Tokyo concierge team on request, with an allowance of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in) as every figure is taken by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lewis Leathers for Comme des Garçons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviakit, made in England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double rider jacket with buckled hem straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red quilted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with white painted lettering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted slogan on the back, painted inscription on the sleeve, zipped pockets and cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e M; label reads 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible scuffs, creases and surface marks across the leather, as pictured.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe painted lettering is clearly legible on the back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Comme des Garçons woven label and the Aviakit label with its England mark and size are both photographed inside the jacket.
