I was just considering my choice of outerwear/winter coat to wear with Yohji, and this is perfect inspiration. Coat looks very cool, although maybe not that warm?

Atelier has launched a special collection where 10 designers each make one item, here is the



YOHJI YAMAMOTO
double vest in wool gab

I don't think that piece is specially designed to Atelier, even though they are claiming so. It is the look 5 one in wool gabardine, I just bought the same one from Japan.

 

I've heard that the price at Atelier is 1500 USD and they only have a size 2 left.

Yeah, in wool gabardine. I haven't received it yet, I bought it NWT from anji_timu.

 

I'll let you know about the sizing when I receive it.

I think this is my best so far

this double vest looks quite costumey, especially if you wear it with shirt underneath. gabardine on gabardine can be tricky.

i was talking about the atelier pic.

I think Mr K was talking about the Atelier double vest and not your fit.

Anyway I can see your aesthetics and silhouette slowly evolving. And not a single shiny piece in sight is definitely a good start. ( the leather inserts on your coat are not counted )

I love the tech twist you put on yohji pieces, David

love this

Another x-post from the waywt today thread. Maiden voyage of some laine wool double layer trousers from AW07 I think (HX-P22-102)? Thick crunchy wool, jean style pockets, black rivets and a slim leg + low rise makes these very easy to wear.

One thing I'm quickly learning is that taking photos of black-on-black pieces is tough! It's a lot easier to look past cruddy photos on yjp, rakuten, ebay, etc now that I know how difficult it is to photograph the stuff lol
