Sounds very interesting, really wonder where they find all these super rare pieces.

on-line for dirty cheap and resell them to people who want to be cool for xxxxx times.

Nice David. What's the interior of the jacket like? any other red elements?

I like that you often wear a hat.. it's like an exclamation point to all the volume of the clothes. it's probably been discussed previously but hats seem to be a consistent theme througout all of Yohji's work. The women's are especially amazing and wonderful. I think it's time for me to find a Yohji fedora.

@Parker, thanks for the kind words. I always wear baseball caps with my " other " wardrobe with my " other " friends but it's actually you and Wire.Artist that inspired me to wear hats with the Yohji outfits, now it's 2nd nature and if Yohji clothes are like armour according to the master, why not protecting the head as well lol.

The reverse of the blazer, complete with its own bottom pockets as well:-

hah ^ I just hope the baseball cap is SS2006 I can't imagine you wearing anything else but Yohji.

I only have the one Y-3 blue straw fedora which I love the shape of. I wouldn't mind finding a black version of it as well or better yet a YYPH version with a nice silk ribbon. There are lots of other cool hats, but the fedora seems to go really well with blazers and other more 'classic' set-ups. plus I love the way Yohji himself wears one.

that 2005 jacket is pretty neat. I like the gray linen, has a lived-in, washed effect.

 

[davidlee388]

@Parker, haha my " other " wardrobe is 90% Y-3, the baseball caps are just Y-3 and good old Nike

Fedora gives the dandy vibe imo. Plus wearing a hat removes the need to style one's hair lol.

The SS05 blazer is practical, baggy as opposed to recent collections' size 2s. It's a 9 year old piece so definitely lived-in. But some Yohji clothes, like the master himself, do improve with age

I thought last year's Y's/New Era collaboration caps looked cool! I don't really wear hats and certainly could never pull off a fedora but I liked them all the same.

They YY facebook page posted this recently: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.427166084084541.1073741834.419903961477420&type=1 gives new detail on Sasada's contributions to A/W15.

YYPH AW14 was only the starter, YYF AW14 is the main course.

Indeed.
Awesome coats
How do you compare with previous collections David? haven't followed YYF.

Also are these the Japanese Gods Fujin and Raijin?

Would love to see Yohji san play with Japanese mythology in men's.
