ORIGIN: Made in Japan
Boro literally means “rag” or “tattered cloth” in Japanese. The term refers to heavily patched and mended textiles, traditionally created out of necessity by rural Japanese families during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These garments were repaired repeatedly using sashiko stitching and layered scraps of indigo-dyed fabric—resulting in beautifully textured, lived-in pieces that embody wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection and impermanence.
Comme des Garçons taps into this aesthetic language of traditional Japanese patchwork to create a modern interpretation of the bomber jacket. Fits oversized; consider sizing down for a closer fit.
Founded in 1978, Comme des Garçons Homme operates under the creative direction of Rei Kawakubo’s longtime protégé, Junya Watanabe. The line serves as a premium Comme des Garçons diffusion label—curating a considered range of menswear staples that balance understated sophistication with boundary-pushing design.
Each garment is meticulously crafted in Japan to Comme des Garçons’ haute couture standards of excellence. From Oxford shirts to hooded parkas to drawstring trousers, every piece in the collection is grounded in everyday functionality while exuding a quiet sense of luxury and refinement. Singularly expressive, yet effortlessly wearable.
