Japanese Brocade Textile Art Reworked into an Acid-Wash Denim Jacket
A spectacular Cote Mer reconstructed denim jacket combining washed Japanese streetwear with richly woven kimono and obi-style brocade textiles.
The pale indigo trucker jacket is transformed by a large back panel assembled from individually cut sections of floral brocade. Deep black grounds, metallic gold thread, vivid red chrysanthemums, stylized blossoms and geometric textile patterns form a dramatic patchwork composition framed by two long exposed zippers.
Designed with a relaxed L–XL silhouette, this is a highly expressive one-of-one garment for collectors of Cote Mer, Japanese remake fashion and wearable textile art.
Visual Presence
The jacket’s front retains the recognizable structure of a classic denim trucker, including button closure, pointed collar and two flap chest pockets. Irregular bleach washing creates cloud-like ivory patterns across the indigo denim, giving every section its own tonal character.
The back becomes the centerpiece. A rectangular kimono-brocade collage fills nearly the entire body, enclosed by black zipper tape and brass-toned hardware. The textile fragments feature:
- Chrysanthemum and floral motifs
- Metallic gold and silver weaving
- Red, black, ivory and pale blue fields
- Curving ribbon and fan-like designs
- Geometric brocade borders
- Individually arranged patchwork sections
The exposed zippers add an industrial counterpoint to the ceremonial richness of the woven fabric.

Period Assessment
A contemporary Japanese designer-remake piece associated with Cote Mer’s experimental approach to reconstructed denim, mixed textiles and limited-production streetwear.
Condition
Good pre-owned condition with visible characteristics consistent with reconstructed designer fashion.
The denim has extensive bleach-wash variation, creasing and tonal irregularity. The patchwork, exposed zipper construction and asymmetrical detailing are intentional elements of the design. Please examine all photographs closely for the garment’s exact condition and finish.

Styling and Collecting
This jacket works beautifully over an understated black or neutral outfit, allowing the brocade panel to command the room. It can also be displayed as contemporary Japanese textile art, especially alongside reconstructed denim, kimono-remake garments and avant-garde streetwear.
Each textile section contributes a different fragment of color and pattern, turning the back into a portable mosaic of Japanese decorative design.
