READYMADE × Takashi Murakami Flower Mods Coat – Limited Edition Hand-Embroidered Military Artwear Jacket (Unisex Mods Coat)

There are garments that decorate the body, and there are garments that define an era of contemporary art. This extraordinary READYMADE × Takashi Murakami Flower Mods Coat sits firmly in the latter category — a wearable sculpture crafted at the intersection of post-war reconstruction, avant-garde fashion, and Murakami’s unmistakable Superflat universe.

Constructed from vintage U.S. military tent fabric, the coat carries the quiet dignity of material that has lived a previous life. READYMADE’s philosophy of deconstruction and rebirth is present in every fiber, honoring the story of repurposed textile while transforming it into high art. The olive-toned shell retains the subtle creases, depth, and natural patina that only true vintage canvas can develop.

Murakami’s iconic smiling flowers explode down the sleeves in dense clusters of hand-embroidered color — each bloom a meticulously placed expression of joy, chaos, innocence, and pop-art rebellion. The spectrum of neon, pastel, and bold primaries animates the entire silhouette, giving the coat a presence that resonates instantly with collectors of contemporary Japanese art.

Inside, a quilted liner and original READYMADE reproduction label (noting the U.S. Army tent origin) further anchor the piece in the brand’s heritage of anti-mass-production, high-ethics craftsmanship. Every stitch, drawstring, and panel speaks to artisan work, rarity, and the philosophy that true luxury is not manufactured — it is authored.

Pieces from this collaboration surface only in the most specialized secondary markets, and usually at auction-level prices. With READYMADE discontinuing many of its earlier silhouettes and Murakami’s global relevance continuing to climb, examples like this have become increasingly difficult to acquire, especially in this condition.

Whether displayed as a cornerstone of an art collection or worn as a statement of cultural literacy, this coat embodies the kind of hybrid collectible — half fashion, half fine art — that defines the new generation of luxury.
