Our designs highlight the ingenious Japanese craftsmanship that goes into every Commesdesgarcons piece. Our hoodie creations challenge the notion of combining sportswear and luxury. Each hoodie uses 100% Japanese loopback cotton. Among the designs, deep kangaroo pockets are useful and serve as a canvas for Commesdesgarcons motifs. Our collection embodies the most luxurious designs, whether you choose a graphic that makes a bold statement or a graphic that is layered and integrated.
Finding the Right CDG Hoodie: Double Heart vs. Big Heart
What Commesdesgarcons hoodie you choose relies on the language of design you want to express. Each of the designs created by Filip Pagowski is treated as a piece of art. We divide our hoodies into two categories.
The Big Heart Collector: Features oversized graphics that are screen printed on the side or back with large detachment. These graphics serve as a bold expression of streetwear, and are popular on the coasts.
The Subtle Double Heart: Features a design with understated overlap of two miniature embroidery. This serves as a quiet, understated design, which contrasts well when layered with encasement designs.
Comparing the Icons: Filip Pagowski Big Heart vs. Subtle Double Heart Patches
Our officially licensed collection merges cutting-edge Japanese avant-garde design with contemporary streetwear. We want more than a basic hooded sweatshirt when we design our CDG Hoodies. Our premium hoodies are made from 100% Japanese loopback cotton and serve as a blank canvas for our favorite graphics. The soft nature of our pullovers and zip-ups allows for the cushion of our art and designs. Our Filip Pagowski patches play into the designs we wish to adorn, and we separate them into two paths of design:
The Big Heart Design: features a screen print design that stretches across the bottom or back with a small embroidered patch on the chest.
The Subtle Double Heart Patches: Design of two mini heart patches that are layered on top of one another, creating a subtle and more luxurious design. This elegant design features a low profile that permits layering beneath overcoats or jackets.
Pullover vs Full Zip-Up Comme des Garçons Play Hoodies
Here’s a blend of sophisticated tailoring with a streetwise edge. Our hoodies are made with heavyweight, Japanese, loopback cotton. We designed our collection with two silhouettes that fit into any daily wardrobe. If you encounter that ever so chilly, early morning in foggy, downtown San Francisco or if you head on over across the country for a casual night out in downtown New York, we have your back. We designed our collection with a focus on layered comfort that strikes that perfect balance between a sharp structure and your individuality.
Classic Pullover: This hoodie features deep, kangaroo pockets and a sculpted hood. This style allows for a clear canvas for our designs featuring the Big Heart or for minimalist embroidery. This style also is a go-to for effortless, streetwear style.
Full Zip-Up: This style features premium, silver-tone, Japanese zippers and a split design for pockets. This style is built for freedom of choice, allowing you to wear it open over a favorite graphic tee or fully closed for maximum warmth.
The Japanese Heavyweight Loopback Cotton
Japanese craftsmanship meets relaxed American style in our Japanese Heavyweight Loopback Cotton CDG Hoodie. We use quality, heavy 100% Japanese loopback cotton, which is spun into a high-tensile, textured fabric that withstands daily wear. Our CDG Hoodie strikes a balance between comfort, structure, and style, and is designed with the standards of the U.S. streetwear market in mind. The unseen elements from which true luxury is derived are our focus, and the dedication we display in our casual pieces is identical to the dedication we exhibit in our runway pieces.
Premium Loopback Cotton: The soft, breathable, and insulated fabric is perfect for layering throughout the day and for the briskest of New York mornings.
Artisan Trimwork: Finished with ample kangaroo pockets, drawstrings, and ribbed hems.
Premium Price Tag: Justified?Our collection is an exciting collision of American modernism and cutting-edge Japanese craftsmanship. Our fleece zip-ups and pullovers are made of 100% Japanese looped back cotton. This fleece is made to keep its shape and density, and helps complete a tailored wardrobe that perfectly balances luxury construction with casual comfort.
Our Casual Hoodies are Runway Ready
The only difference between a casual essential and a runway design is the price tag. It is important to us that our fleece meets the standards of a higher priced design and is durable. To put it simply, we prioritize the construction of a design over cost.
Shape Retention:Heavy-duty ribbed cuffs and waistbands are critical to keeping a clean silhouette.
Artisan Detailing:We make our CDG Hoodie designs complete with silver-tone zippers that are custom to our designs, fully woven border stitching, and heart appliques made with the utmost care.
The Fit Standard:Our designs are made using Tokyo Tailoring, which means our designs will fit more compact than traditional United States sizing. We suggest that our customers in the United States go one size up for comfort, and two sizes up for a more oversized fit.
The Heart Patch: Borders should have stitches that are clean and smooth and should be uniform. Heart eyes should be neat and in alignment.
Hardware and Details: Real zip ups should have heavy custom silver zippers and high quality drawstrings.
The Sizing Label: Since all of our products are made in Japan, our products are sized smaller than your average American products. Check the sizing label and the care label to see if the text is neat and clean.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: For US sizes, Are CDG Hoodies small?
A: Yes. Our entire collection is patterned and designed according to Japanese sizing. Thus, they have a more compact and slimmer fit compared to standard apparel in the United States. We advise customers in the United States to order at least one size bigger than their regular size. For a more loose and comfortable fit, that is typical of streetwear, order two sizes bigger.
Q: Why is the tag of my CDG Play hoodie written in Japanese?
A: Authentic Commedesgarcons Hoodies are manufactured and thoroughly quality checked in one of our specialized facilities in Japan. Production and manufacturing being rooted in Tokyo signifies our pride in Japanese craftsmanship. Our care labels and sizing tags have Japanese text and are a primary indication of genuine luxury craftsmanship.
Q: Are there differences in fabric weight between the zip-ups and pullovers?
A: There are no differences. Both styles are made out of the same premium heavyweight Japanese loopback cotton fleece. Whether you go for the classic pullover style or the full zip-up style, you’re going to get the same weight, the same structural durability, and the same high-quality, comfort-driven, yet soft, looped interior texture as designed in the U.S.
