A reversible coat from Junya Watanabe COMME des GARÇONS MAN for Spring/Summer 2015, assembled from indigo patchwork in the manner of Japanese boro, with sashiko stitching and leather elements. Size S, made in Japan.
The Piece
Junya 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.
The 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.
Because 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.
Measured 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).

Authenticity & Care
