Up for sale here is a shirt from the Comme des Garcons Shirt label. Comme des Garcons runs a number of labels, many with different and often highly specific themes. The Shirt lines keeps things pretty basic for the most part, focusing often on shirting as their name implies, and also manufacturing largely in France. CDG has always had a European influence, at least in my opinion, and it’s something emphasized with the shirt label. As always with the CDG universe, production is pretty small, availability outside of Japan very limited, and retail prices are ridiculously high.
In this case we have a pretty unique iteration of the classic tee. The body is a pretty straightforward gray tee, while the twist comes with a polka dot graphic print on the front. Except it’s not actually a polka dot print, but an inverted polka dot. The area around the dots is printed rather than the dots themselves. It’s something very much in keeping with CDG’s emphasis on artful prints and design, and they often like to incorporate polka dots in particular.
As always with these kinds of pieces, availability in and outside of Japan was extremely limited. The shirt line is arguably harder to come by compared to the Homme Plus runway line as well, but get an excellent piece here at a fraction of the retail price.
Size is labeled a medium and fits a bit slim. I measure the chest at 19”, shoulders at 18”, and length at 25”. The shirt comes in lightly used, excellent shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in France.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
