Size S, made in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunya Watanabe, the Tokyo designer who trained under Rei Kawakubo, built his Spring\/Summer 2015 menswear around patchwork, and this coat is among its most absorbing pieces. The surface is a mosaic of indigo cloths in stripes, checks, small florals and plain weaves, joined by visible stitching in a spirit close to boro, the Japanese tradition of mending and layering cloth until it becomes something new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patchwork carries traditional Japanese motifs: the interlaced lattice known as kagome, chrysanthemum forms, and the stacked diamonds of matsukawabishi, alongside larger florals in grey on dark ground. Hand-style sashiko stitching in pale thread rings a checked patch on one sleeve and edges others, and leather elements are set among the cloths. A collared shape, snap closures down the front and rounded patch pockets give the coat the structure of a workwear chore coat, while the deep blues keep the whole in a single register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the coat is reversible, it offers a second face, and the two sides reward comparison. Each patch sits differently in the light, and the stitching makes every panel read as individually worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured flat: shoulder width 42.5 cm (16.7 in), chest width 51 cm (20.1 in), sleeve length 62 cm (24.4 in) and length 81 cm (31.9 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Junya Watanabe COMME des GARÇONS MAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\/Summer 2015, label marked AD2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reversible patchwork coat with snap front and patch pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigo patchwork with sashiko stitching and leather elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotifs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kagome, chrysanthemum, matsukawabishi and florals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigo, with grey and cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42.5 cm (16.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChest width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51 cm (20.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 cm (24.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 81 cm (31.9 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo notable marks or soiling are recorded; the frayed edges and uneven cloths belong to the design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (very good)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/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 Junya Watanabe COMME des GARÇONS MAN label, marked AD2014 and made in Japan, is photographed.
