Then the SA told me that apparently HB's boss Oscar Pinto was informed by Yohji Inc that any topwear available in sz 1 ( except AW11 ) was originally made for Yohji-san himself, i.e. his personal wardrobe ( SS11 Priest Shirt, AW12 Blanket Blazer the other I know of ). Don't know if there's any truth in it cos someone once said also that the man himself wears sz 3? But I have seen how thin Yohji-san is in person, and he is stick thin.
This is interesting David, I've seen at least 3 SS11 jackets in size 1. In my limited experience I associated size 1 to garments not available in size 2 (priest shirt for example) but that AW12 blazer puts that theory to rest.

Caveat I would say AW08 but I'm probably wrong. Ask the seller what's the code printed on the tag.

alfonso is right. aw11 look1 in black cotton. i have size 1 jacket from ss07 and it fits okey not too slim. i doubt yohji makes size1 so he can wear it :D there are very small japanese people who like yohji and size 1 looks on them as size 3 looks on model.

I was looking at those leg warmers too

I may just combine some type of tights + cropped pants with my Yohji knit in F/W '13
Seems like a real cool idea and I like the whole layered visual apperance with shorts + tights.

Please post a clearer photo Shah when you decide to incorporate the new piece in an outfit.

edit:
The suspender pants are also really cool but linen
Need some F/W pants
