eYe Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons x Dickies Jacket
Re-constructed Overdyed eYe Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons Man x Dickies Casual Cotton Jacket
This jacket was re-constructed from a Dickies boilersuit / coverall by eYe Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons Man for the Autumn — Winter 2009 — 2010 season collection. Dickies is the brand name, under whichWilliamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company markets many kinds of work clothes it manufactures. The company was started in Bryan, Texas in 1922 and has since become the world's largest workwear manufacturer and an iconic American workwear brand.
Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons Man and its casualwear subline eYe Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons Man in particular have been experimenting with re-constructing apparel bearing historic Western clothing trademarks, crossing style boundaries by transforming traditional workwear and sportswear into tailored fashion pieces and formal attire into casual clothes.
This unique jacket is a fine example of the former — a heavyweight cotton drill Dickies Deluxe Coverall was taken apart, re-cut and re-assembled into this more formal jacket, which was then overdyed in deep black colour.
The jacket's shape was completely re-designed by Junya Watanabe into that of a short casual jacket, retaining such original features of a Dickies boilersuit / coverall as bi-swing back, zippered chest pockets and left back pocket, side tools pockets, side access slits, a heavy-duty brass YKK Universal zipper and original Dickies branding on the left chest pocket, back right pocket and inside the jacket. Only bottom parts of original snap fasteners remain on the sleeves. Copper and brass sliders and Dickies-branded pullers are used on the chest pocket zippers to a contrasting effect.
Condition: Immaculate pre-owned. As new. Comes with original tags.
Fabric Composition: 100% cotton.
