I got size 2. I don't think I've ever seen YYPH trousers in size 1 (does the Conduit st store even carry size 1 anything?).
for anyone who hasn't clicked the link:
I strongly doubt that they'll be all that slim on me - because my natural build is indeed very slim- a lot of older trousers and particularly wide ones I physically struggle to wear. With these, they look pretty slim on that model, but I'm expecting to need a belt to keep it up. My experiences with past purchases has been that LN-CC's a/w12 photography and casting made the items look vastly slimmer than in reality.
But regardless the Yohji aesthetic means more than just baggy trousers to me- it's not a fixation I share with many buyers, admittedly. I only came to the label in the last three years, and I'd say in recent collections the average silhouette is growing tighter and tighter, so i probably reflect the preferences and direction of someone who came to the brand after 2009-ish. We're never going to get YYPH ultra-fitted elasticated skinny jeans (though saying that, didn't the s/s13 show feature leggings? Anyone know if they made it to stores?), but trousers like these aren't the outliers that they would have been perhaps 10 years ago. I haven't seen the s/s13 stock yet, but when I think back to conduit street's a/w12 stock, my experience was that well over half of the trousers were a comparable shape, size and width to these.
But ultimately, when it comes down to it I just don't think ultra-baggy trousers suit me all that well, and the label's trajectory is beneficial to someone of my shape. My hope is that these will prove just right.
