Yohji Yamamoto
Black clothing.
One of the greats.
Has been at the head of his mainlines for over 40 years and still manages to create collections that feel fresh without deviating too far from the brand’s identity.

Big time grail came in today.
Original 14S/S Karasu Pants
HG-P10-100
So stoked to have these in both 100 Gabardine Wool and in a Size 3! I think Gaba has only been offered again in 19S/S and it seems the most common offerings are in Rayon or Tencel
what derbies are those tho

2009AW "One Mile Wear"

Yohji wanted to create a collection that his customers could wear at home to lounge in and also feel comfortable completing short errands in; errands within a one mile radius.
The concept feels redundant now with the global acceptance of athleisure but it's one of the more fun collections from the brand.

Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME A men's brand that maximizes the worldview of designer Yoji Yamamoto in clothing creations. Presented in the Paris Collection since 1984. Yamamoto's idea of a man is tied to social norms...
Bathrobe/coat hybrids and slippers were seen on the runway. Never actually seen these slippers for sale on the secondary market though.
two piece sets inspired by pyjamas. not my favourite but fits the theme.
one of the coolest items on the runway. the diamond stitch is reminiscent of quilted blankets; Yohji really leaned hard into the bedroom references.
reversible jackets and coats could tell a story of someone urgently leaving the house and throwing on whatever he can without thinking. idk maybe i'm reaching here
speaking of the coats, they are the most sought after items from this collection. Bright colours are a rarity with YY, but the lining is what makes these coats special. It's made of 100% silk with animal motifs which are hand painted in a traditional Japanese technique called "Yuzen"
the new WaPo interview is a really fun read
the typa shit i'm on
The partnership between YY and New Era hit its 10th year in 2023 and I’ve wanted to handle some of the clothing for quite a while. There are many signs of it being purely a cash grab, but I’m a YY enthusiast(?) so I feel like it’s important to have first-hand experience in the product.
The thing about NE x YY stuff is that it holds its value pretty well on the used market, so it took quite a while to finally purchase what I wanted at a decent price.
I was looking for an everyday jacket for winter and had my eyes set on the Wool Coach Jacket from 22AW. 66,000yen at retail is expensiveeeee and it sells for around 35-40,000 in the used market, at this price range you can find some really great mainline pieces so it’s a hard sell. If you were interested in it stateside it was over $600USD from SSENSE.
So, what is it like? It’s….okay…?
The twill wool shell is pretty nice and doesn’t feel cheap, lining is filled (thermolite?) and I like the ribbed details on the inside of the cuffs and at the collar. The jacket is sturdy and feels well made but if the brand thinks they can justify the price based on a back print and a patch logo of that famous, cringey quote then they’re kidding themselves.

I wanted to give this piece the benefit of the doubt, maybe there’s more that goes into the design process and it could be like when Y-3 tweaks an existing Adidas model? The only New Era coach jackets I could find were flimsy nylon ones. Turns out I was looking in the wrong market and New Era Japan actually offered this jacket years ago. The cut, fabric, and ribbing details are all the same.
But it gets worse! I was searching on the New Era Japan website and found the exact same jacket was used for a collaboration with THE SOLOIST…..and they only charged ¥35,000 at retail

Price hikes on regular ass pieces are nothing new and I know most of us here aren’t actually surprised by this but I want to be critical towards YY as often as I can because their pricing is extortionate at times. It’s made worse because the brand is so hush-hush about the manufacturing process, design process, their workforce, etc. maybe I’m expecting too much but I want to know more about what goes into the creation of a garment when you’re asking me to spend 1000 on pants, 3000 on a blazer or 600 on a coach jacket with some print on it.
kyn posting from gf account, this is sending me, yohji denim jacket for ~$600 in sz4, aaaaaa
@De La Joel cop or not
Anything size 4 from that season is a rarity, not to mention it fits you perfectly!
🫨🫨🫨
Anything from FW24 stand out to anyone?
Nothing blew me away but I did enjoy these looks
I’ve lost excitement for a lot of printed clothing from Yohji and sometimes it feels like the brand relies on it too often
I think the last printed pieces I liked were the ZB inspired ones from FW22
Is the waist on balloons supposed to be massive
Looking at a size 2 and it's 43 cm like is paper bag the intended look or do I size down
Yeah I would say that my yohji pants are generously sized
It should have a drawstring to tighten
Does that much fabric bunched up get uncomfy or no
I don't like the feel on other pants but maybe I'm being a baby
I think there’s a few variations on material
It feels really comfortable imo
It bunches if you tie the leg hole
I’ve got a size 3 in gab
Wool gaba would be ideal
These are cotton twill
Fits like this
I could be wrong but I don’t think balloons come in a size 1
Your best bet is to cinch a 2. Some fabrics from some seasons are cut smaller than others but generally a size 2 will always be around 82-86cm circumference at the waist
Not to be a stickler but these are sarouel balloons, tradition balloons have a fixed waist with box pleats
oh yeah my b
WRONG PANTS

Allows for that Asian squat
Could anybody LC these wrap pants?
@twilight, please use the #questions-and-advice channel to ask your question.
Looks good to me
Does anyone know if ground y 100% wool gab is different from mainline wool gab, or if there are any other quality differences?
https://theshopyohjiyamamoto.com/products/go-p09-100-1?_pos=10&_fid=6796b7eff&_ss=c
I know ground y cuts costs, but I’m tempted by these if they really are similar, US prices are crazy but might cop when visiting Japan.

i'd say just go to the Laforet ground y store and try on a whole bunch of their pants
they're super helpful over there
then you can have a short walk to the flagship yohji store in omotesando
Is My Dear Bomb worth reading
No
But I’m also not too interested in learning about Yohji as a person lol
