A black Comme des Garçons souvenir jacket made with Kosho and Co., embroidered with an eagle and Mount Fuji on the back and a dragon at the chest.
The Piece
Comme des Garçons was founded in Tokyo by Rei Kawakubo in 1969 and first showed in Paris in 1981.
The jacket was released as a limited edition for the Comme des Garçons Aoyama store, made with Kosho and Co., whose label reads Tokyo and Yokohama. The back is embroidered in cream with an eagle in front of Mount Fuji and the words Live Free with Strong Will, and the front carries a dragon and the letters CdG, above a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem.
A second, plain quilted black side appears in the photographs, so the jacket seems to be reversible. The photographs show the back, the front, the quilted side, the zip, the cuff, and the Kosho, Comme des Garçons and care labels.

Authenticity & Care
Labels, stitching, hardware and finish are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Keep it on a broad padded hanger in a breathable garment bag away from heat, damp and direct sun, and have it dry-cleaned only by a specialist.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
