Comme des Garçons HOMME all-over paisley-print denim from AD2003, made in Japan. Style code HJ-P013, 100% cotton. Boot-cut / slight-flare leg. Garment-treated finish — the fading, whiskering and light fraying are intentional and part of the design (stated on the care tag), not damage.

Tagged size S. Please go by the measurements. Note the leg is a boot-cut with a gentle kick, not a dramatic bell-bottom.

Measurements (laid flat):

Waist: 36.5 cm x2 = 73 cm / 28.7 in (≈ 29 in around)
Inseam: 76.5 cm / 30.1 in
Rise: 29 cm / 11.4 in
Thigh (flat): 22.5 cm / 8.9 in

【About Shipping】
I only ever charge the actual, official postage — never a markup. Shipping is based on Japan Post's official EMS rate table. Please see the rate for your region here:

【Why this is rare — and getting rarer】
Comme des Garçons is made in deliberately small numbers. Each season, individual store managers choose which pieces their store will carry, so production runs are limited and many garments were never widely stocked to begin with. That's the first scarcity — built in at the source.
The second is time. Twenty years on, few of these survive in wearable condition. What you're looking at is a piece that was scarce when new, and scarcer still today.

【On shipping to the United States】
My customers are people all over the world, and I believe every one of them deserves to be treated equally. It wouldn't sit right with my conscience to let buyers in one country pay less than everyone else simply because of where a parcel happens to land.

Under the current US rules, all commercial parcels — regardless of value — require import duties to be prepaid by the seller before shipping (Delivered Duty Paid). So that my US customers carry the same true cost as everyone else — no more, no less — I include that duty in the US shipping cost, and clear it in advance so nothing is charged to you on delivery. It's not a markup; it's simply the duty, passed on honestly.

If you're buying from the US and you're happy with that, I'd be glad to have you. Thank you for understanding.

【A Note from Yutaka】
I no longer wear these pieces — but I list only the ones I truly loved, the ones I'd want to pass to someone who will feel the same "I'm so glad I own this."

When I was young, I carried my own insecurities about my body. What freed me wasn't changing my frame — it was sense. The right piece, worn with intention, changes how you stand in a room. Over the years, women would tell me, "You have such good taste," or "You're the first person I've met wearing Margiela to the office." I don't say this to boast — only because I believe it, and I've lived it.

Designers like Kawakubo and Yamamoto cut around the Japanese body — smaller, more compact frames (mine is 170cm / 60kg). If you have a slimmer build and have ever felt that great fashion wasn't cut for you, these were. We come from different places, but I don't think people are so different at heart. That's what I want to pass on.

On condition & authenticity: I'm genuinely particular. I list only Mint or VG+ pieces — nothing less — each professionally dry-cleaned, each guaranteed authentic without reservation. Buying vintage from overseas can feel uncertain, so please message me anytime before purchasing. My hope is simple: that this piece makes you glad, the way it once made me.
