Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread) - Page 172

Received this amazing knit from Wire.Artist aka Yoda so roadtested it straight away

YYPH SS08 Look 32 Knit ( HM-K05-160 ) 100% wool, Size 3 ( OS ) - you cannot tell it's wool, absolute masterclass in knitting. Large crew neck, buttoned shoulder tabs, very light weight and airy. The body consists of random uneven bands throughout, the darker ones more like double layer, the lighter bands are fishnet like. Lazy silhouette with irregular hem, long sleeves with thumb holes and 3D adaptable palm and finger pads. Truly delicate piece with random micro-tears throughout giving a battered vibe.

YYPH SS08 Look 2 Cargo Pants ( HM-P70-091 ) - posted before, size 3, 100 cotton, the most complicated construction for a trouser, adjustable lower leg width, 87 buttons in total, terrific fabric and silhouette.

Y's AW08 Contrast Stitch LS Tee ( ME-T01-053 ) - posted before, size 2, 100% thin cotton, white contrast stitched crew neck

Y-3 Hejarklack Hi-top sneakers

Wire saw my fit pics and said I need to show fellow SF members the depth of talent of YY knitwear. Whilst I'm quite discreet and a traditional all black YY man in most cases, he is right in doing the piece justice. So here's an alternate fit with a less serious vibe:-

YYPH AW05 LS Tee ( HN-T50-063 ) - 100% medium weight cotton. The construction of the knit can be fully appreciated with a contrasting background

Y's for men SS03 Pants ( MQ-P10-103 ) 68/32 wool/rayon, posted before, elasticated waist ( PJ style ) with belt loops, the most flowing fabric I have ever handled.

Y's AW06 Hi-top sneakers.

Very good fit as always Parker, the way you pull off Coming Soon is second to none. Without sounding offensive, you make CS punch above its class for sure ( I have a few CS as well remember ). The jacket sounds cool construction wise, hybrid style, even YYPH doesn't have this iteration/derivative if I am not mistaken. The pants are wool/linen blend? Almost contradictory in their intended seasonal applications, what does it feel like?

Thanks for the comment btw. The knit was layered under a blazer on the Runway, again demonstrating such greatness in his shows, every piece was meticulously conceptualized. 

@parker i think you should dye this jacket black!will much nicer and not so "new", the lapels and pockets are pretty cool!

that's what i wear pretty much every day, plus the matching suit jacket.

Nothing wrong with mixing them up, it never occurs to me not wearing expensive shoes is a deal-breaker as long as the look is coherent imo. Plus if I hadn't come clean, some may have thought they are high-end stuff anyway.

On the shoes. it's not actually the make or the high/low-endedness, just the design which struck me as blobby, with a not very nice sole. (BTW, the haircut was just an aside, I'm aware people have all kinds of reasons for their hair being how it is... apologies if you were offended)

Parker - can you actually do up the Coming Soon jacket (if you wanted to)? I ask because I just got hold of a CS jacket and although it was claimed that it was a size larger than stated, it clearly isn't, if anything it is smaller than I would have expected. It looks okay if I don't try to button it but I am wondering whether to return it...

What size is yours and how does it seem to relate to normal Yohji sizing? Yours certainly doesn't seem to be 'larger' on you, in fact it look a very good fit in conventional terms.
