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

[spidercan]

Anybody know how the regulation stuff fits in with the pour Homme line? Now is sold under the pour Homme label, outer hang tag says pour Homme, inner cloth tag says regulation

 

[takashi78]

All these lines should be consolidated into just a few core.

See you guys next time

The unfortunate thing about buying online, especially with Yohji is that I can never quite tell what the weight of a fabric is, I bought some cotton twill trousers recently and while I love the fit, I'm afraid in my climate i'm only going to be wearing it for a few months in the year!

With that being said, what are some lighter fabric codes I should keep a lookout for when it comes to pants/jackets?
Also it's a sad day when you realise maybe the suit i've had for a decade might be a bit too small now.. Can barely raise my shoulders above my arms in them without it getting all tight, sad times

-10X (usually 100 sometimes 103 etc) is wool gabardine and the best fabric he uses outside of the insane esoteric stuff that costs $10k and produced by a single master in some remote village

We used to have a shared excel sheet of fabric codes for all the seasons , might be somewhere in this thread still

Dear @Garden

In recent seasons yohji started using the material of triacetate, maybe you will find it to your liking. Really light weight, hard to crease even if you don’t fold them properly (busy dudes got bigger fishes to fry). Their product codes usually end in 500.

Aside from that, maybe you can also consider stuff made in linen. I would personally also recommend ramie too, but apparently this material is not often used in recent collections, so it might take a bit of hunting around vintage stores.

Hope this helps.

Thanks fellas, i'll definitely keep a lookout.

How often do you guys dry clean your Yohji clothes? Particularly wool gabardine. Also I have YYPH balloon pants in cotton twill, do you think it's worth getting balloon pants in wool gaba as well? Is there a noticeable difference in the drape?

 

[the shah]

Just hand wash it in warm water with soap and leave it to dry

I would say get it, wool gaba should drape and flow much nicer than cotton twill.

still carrying this thread, i love it

i wonder if you or anyone else has experience with Ziggy Chen or Uma Wang as they seem adjacent to Yohji?

Epic SS 95 show

Those of you who have rayon fabric shirts, how do you all clean the garment?

Send it to the cleaners or wash it at home?

I bought mine used and the care tags have faded.

Does anybody have recommendation on some camp/cuban collar shirts in linen or hemp that could match well with baggy yohji bottoms? I'm just looking for a looser/oversized fit - obviously YYPH/YFM would be great but it's certainly not common enough that I can buy it right now!


I got lucky with a short sleeve one at Muji but alas they've run out of stock
