1. Popular Lines
- CDG Play: Most recognizable, featuring the iconic red heart with eyes. Usually minimalistic: plain black, grey, or navy hoodies with a small embroidered heart on the chest. https://commedesgarcons.com.co/
- CDG Black / Homme / Shirt: These lines often have louder graphics, oversized cuts, and more experimental fabrics or silhouettes.
2. Fit & Sizing
- Typically runs slightly small, especially in the Play line—sizing up is common.
- Expect a boxy or straight fit, not tapered.
- Shoulders may feel narrow, especially if you’re used to American or European streetwear fits.
3. Materials
- Most hoodies are made with heavyweight cotton fleece, soft inside and durable.
- Japanese-made pieces from the higher-end lines (like Homme Plus) use more premium materials, sometimes with wool or technical fabrics blended in.
4. Design Aesthetic
- Minimalist to bold: Play hoodies are simple and clean. Other lines feature oversized branding, asymmetrical zips, or stitched-in layers.
- Some feature inside-out stitching, mixed fabrics, or fragmented logos—typical of Rei Kawakubo’s avant-garde approach.
5. Price Range
- Play hoodie: ~$250–350 (retail)
- Other lines: $300–600+ depending on materials and season
- Collaborations or limited releases: Can be higher due to rarity or hype.
6. Authenticity Tips
- Stitching on the heart logo should be clean, eyes well-aligned.
- Labels are clear, centered, and cleanly sewn. Look for “Made in Japan” or “Made in Turkey” depending on the line.
- Cheap materials or off-center logos usually mean fakes.
7. Styling Ideas
- CDG Play hoodie: Great with slim or straight jeans, Converse, or clean sneakers.
- Louder CDG hoodies: Pair with cargo pants or wide-leg trousers for full streetwear vibe.
- Layer under long coats or bombers for fall looks.
8. Care Tips
- Cold wash inside out.
- Air dry or low tumble to avoid shrinking or logo damage.
- Avoid bleach or harsh detergents.
