Hello.
This is Noguchi from CASANOVA&CO.
Every day, items that conclude each brand's Autumn/Winter season are arriving.
The autumn/winter season is reaching its climax.
However, among them, COMOLI still has a considerable number of deliveries on hold.
Including both the spring/summer and autumn/winter seasons, COMOLI consistently delivers something for 12 months of the year.
This is partly because there are many items, but also because they make an effort to deliver items that are a bit ahead of the seasonal changes.
Therefore, COMOLI's deliveries are basically almost never out of sync with the season.
Given that it's gotten colder recently, outerwear that could be considered the main attraction for this winter has started to appear.
Among them, a heavy-duty outer embodying what COMOLI is all about.
This is something I'd like anyone who loves clothes, not just COMOLI fans, to take a look at.
COMOLI is truly amazing.
COMOLI
LAMB LEATHER CANADIAN COAT
color _ BLACK
size _ 1,2,3
First, the leather.
The heavy feel is evident at a glance.
The leather is lamb, and it should be the same lamb used before.
I think it was used for car coats before.
Well, anyway, it's excellent lamb.
I believe it's thinned just enough to retain adequate thickness without feeling restrictive or difficult to move in when worn.
With a boa collar, western-style yoke, flap pockets and hand-warmer pockets, and triangular reinforcements at the pocket openings, it's fully equipped with all the details of a Canadian coat.
It's quite masculine, and there's also a surprisingly folkloric mood to it, to the extent that it might seem unexpected without a deep understanding of the COMOLI brand.
However, COMOLI's skill lies in bringing such items into their own territory.
Although not very visible, the lining changes at the waist.
The upper part of the waist is wool fleece, so it's quite warm.
The lower part of the waist and the sleeve lining are made of cupro.
The button loops are made of braided leather.
This attention to detail is also incredibly elaborate.
I haven't turned it inside out because showing too much in photos would be unrefined, but I think you can get a sense of the sewing quality and leather texture from these pictures.
It's undeniably incredible.
And in terms of sewing specifications, I think it's very carefully constructed, but it doesn't ignore the inherent "magnanimity" that clothes like Canadian coats originally possess.
While it might not be difficult for COMOLI to create something with extremely rigid specifications, I believe Mr. Komori's style is not to aim for that.
The aim is to be an outer garment for COMOLI's styling, and to be incorporated without breaking the atmosphere of a Canadian coat.
However, it still needs to be a well-made garment, of course.
I always feel that COMOLI's clothes, born from this balance, possess a very unique charm.
The refined impression of urban Japan, the strong indigenous elements of European import brands, and the unique atmosphere of the reference garments are all perfectly blended to create something irreplaceable that is "COMOLI."
I felt the same sensation from this Canadian coat, a sensation that can only be experienced from COMOLI's most distinctive items.
I am 178cm and 63kg, wearing size 2.
The shirt I'm wearing is cashmere silk garment-dyed, and the pants are belted black denim.
I think words are no longer necessary from here on, so please experience it through the photos.
Some photos show a very strong luster, but in reality, it's not that shiny.
Nevertheless, it has considerable presence.
The leather is supple enough that you can easily put your hands in the pockets.
I think this is a garment that will clearly divide opinions.
However, I don't think there's any other brand that can achieve this level of quality and atmosphere.
I think it looks cool when worn casually, like throwing it over a sweatsuit.
COMOLI
COTTON SILK MILITARY HOODED JACKET
color _ BROWN
size _ 1,2,3
Personally, this was my No.1 for the season.
It's what's known as an N2-B type flight jacket.
This is truly outrageous.
There are too many cool points, and I feel disheartened even before starting to write because I think it's a very niche and difficult-to-understand piece of clothing for COMOLI, but please bear with me and read on. (laughs)
First, here's what makes it N2-B-like.
The hood splits.
I've heard that this design was originally made so that the hood wouldn't get in the way when sitting in a cockpit.
The hood's fur is cashmere.
It's incredibly soft against the skin and provides excellent warmth.
Since the body has functional insulation, it probably won't be cold wearing this in Japan.
When you unroll the edge of the hood, zigzag stitching appears.
It's truly meticulous work down to the smallest detail.
Also, all the stitching looks like that of a dress shirt.
This is a padded military jacket, by the way.
The quality of the stitching is somewhat extraordinary.
By elevating it to a level of sewing that is unthinkable for a military-style garment, a strange mood is created, one for which the term "military-style" is no longer appropriate.
But the truly amazing part starts here.
Even with that level of stitching, the surface is deliberately sewn to create puckering.
The super high-density fabric of 70% cotton and 30% silk wrinkles tightly, almost as if it's struggling.
With such fabric and stitching, one might be tempted to finish it beautifully and perfectly, but Mr. Komori is committed to maintaining its N2-B-like character.
Only the surface, that is.
The reverse side.
Near the neck tag.
At this point, I'm no longer surprised by features like an identical fabric lining using the same material as the outer shell. (laughs)
The sewing specifications on the reverse side have been changed.
Of course, the back also has a dress-shirt-like stitch pitch, but I believe this specification helps to suppress the thickness and stiffness of the seam allowance.
All parts, including the tightly curved armholes, use this specification.
Therefore, there will be no snagging when putting it on or taking it off, and no risk of the padding coming out.
Incredible craftsmanship.
When you see it in person, it's quite impressive.
The inside of the front flap.
This part is also zigzag.
The zipper is riri.
But it's matte.
It's so cunning, at this point.
This is also size 2 on me.
The knit inside is cashmere comoli knit, and the pants are 5-pocket denim pants.
Personally, I think these 5-pocket jeans are also wonderful.
The way they fit the hips and the non-tapered balance below the knee.
I even think it's a pair of pants every man should own.
... But I'm getting off track, so let's get back to the military hooded jacket.
Matching slim denim with a flight jacket is an eternal men's style, isn't it?
But COMOLI's philosophy is strongly poured into it.
COMOLI is proposing this style not as an extension of American casual wear, but from its own distinct perspective.
This is what it looks like with the hood split.
I've always preferred the hood not split. (laughs)
The cashmere fur, the luster of the cotton silk, and the impeccable stitching all combine to exude elegance, yet the rugged masculinity remains at its core.
The arms have proper volume.
If you were to trim these parts, you would lose all the necessary ruggedness.
I still think this balance is what COMOLI is all about.
Also, what photos don't convey is how incredibly light this is.
It's surprisingly comfortable to wear, contrary to its rugged appearance.
I think it's extremely warm, and since the cotton silk is incredibly dense, it should be fine even in a little rain.
However, despite its practicality, this military hooded jacket, like the Canadian coat, will likely divide opinions.
Nevertheless, I believe if you see it, you'll feel COMOLI's coolness and style.
Because the brand has influence and is often talked about, focusing on this aspect of COMOLI reveals things that weren't visible before.
Because if you get caught up in public perception and image, things get hazy.
COMOLI's heavy-duty outerwear will surely excite you.
COMOLI
CASHMERE COMOLI KNIT
color _ CHARCOAL
size _ F
Extra edition.
Today, I intended to show off the two pieces from earlier, but recently I've been wearing COMOLI's 5-pocket denim a lot, and I'm really into pairing slim pants with loose-fitting tops or long-length shirts.
So, I thought, why not a style like this?
The Comoli knit is a knit that balances like a cut-and-sew with an extremely wide body, so it looks great when paired casually like this.
Like a cold-sensitive, overly elegant European skater.
Though I've never been to Europe.
...And that was the extra edition.
Nevertheless, the cashmere comoli knit is also absolutely wonderful.
I think you'll feel it if you see it in person.
I hope you'll take a look at it along with the incredibly amazing heavy outerwear.
