Up for sale here is a shirt from Comme Des Garcons’ Homme Deux line. Homme Deux is supposed to be the more formal side of Comme Des Garcons, loosely interpreting suiting and uniform wear and incorporating the signature CDG avant-garde aesthetic. Homme Deux has been operating in some capacity since 1987 and much like the Homme Plus line, is still overseen by label founder Rei Kawakubo.
This shirt comes from 2013, I believe the spring-summer collection. Design is a classic polo shirt silhouette, where the main material is a knit cotton in black. The twist comes with the incorporation of a complimentary dark navy blue panel at the bottom of the shirt. It is enough of a pop of color to differentiate itself – it is smart but at the same time nothing that is going to be immediately shocking or polarizing. This should work equally well in a more formal or casual situation and can be easily integrated into a wide range of wardrobes.
Like all Homme Plus and Homme Deux pieces, this shirt did not come cheap at retail. Japanese retail was around $200, and you would be paying considerably more outside of Japan if you could find it. This particular design is now completely sold out, but get it here at a very reasonable price.
Size is labeled a medium and fits true. I measure the chest at 19.5” / 50cm, shoulders at 18” / 46cm and length at 26” / 66cm. The shirt comes in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
