latest addition to my little collection is the aw07 coat it's as practical as outerwear but as comfy as a big slouchy sweater

You are very welcome. Looked really really good.  Plenty of epic pieces lately here, AW05 Look 44 Rider, now this AW07 Look 4 Knit Insert.

There are some pretty nice details (a sort of triple pleat arrangement at the cuff with non-functional buttons and as you can see in the picture above a very nice pleat/vent arrangement at the back) and it fits me "just so". Very happy to have one more jacket in my wardrobe that's a light colour (will probably be the last one I will need for a while I suspect).
Wearing it with a Merz B Schwanen l/s top, SS08 suspender "ronin" pants that I have worn before and Marvielab suole shoes (which are EXCELLENT by the way. Great rubber sole making it extremely comfortable to walk about in and the construction and finishing is also excellent. Goes great with anything cropped in my opinion and looks very natural with hakama pants. First time I am wearing them with these pants and trying to evoke a sort of Samurai "Sock" but not completely sure it worked, but I am comfortable ).

Great fit as usual my friend. Thanks to my rubbish works monitor, which Look Ronin pants are they? I never think you can pair such thematic pants with " elegant " blazers but I was wrong and you pulled this off nicely. Those sleeves have those unbelievably over-engineered cuffs  may be you should take a close up of that and show it here to educate the masses lol

Anyway, great stuff.

100% Cotton without as pronounced a low rise as some of the other ones shown on the runway. Hadn't worn them in a while so decided to bust them out and see how they worked with the jacket, hehe.
EDIT - I also just won this auction off Y!:
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Never handled any Yohji sunglasses before, but I like the design of the hinges and considering how cheap I won it for, even if the sunglasses themselves turn out not to be cool, the case alone would be worth it. Does anyone know anything about the couple of sunglasses Yohji has done? Who he partnered with or the quality level etc. Just curious.

Yohji did a collaboration with Linda Farrow to produce a series called Prototype Glasses for the SS09 YYPH and SS09 YYF ( maybe other seasons after that ), they were mainly double lensed ( removable shades ) My wife and I both got a pair each. The mens one are shown with the Don't Do That suit. 

Minimalistic case ( to go with the name Prototype lol ) but construction very good. Asos were selling them back then, Pollyanna also stocked them, and of course YY Flagships as well.
