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

[leviticus]

Nice feature @davidlee388 , thanks for sharing!

Does anyone here have experience hand-washing silk? Not sure what season they're from, but I have a pair of trousers that are in need of a cleaning but the care tag has worn off. Suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, L

I use the hand wash cycle on my washing machine for wool, silks and cashmere. Most things don't actually need to be dry cleaned, but i leave items with more complicated constructions and interfacings to the cleaner so that I don't have to worry about the pressing (I'm just lazy, I could do it). Scarfs, sweaters and trousers get dumped into the washing machine.

Thanks for sharing @Ulf-S. Into the bucket they go!

Anyone here kop these pants from Luisviaroma?


Have been eyeing it for awhile hoping for further reduction. It's gone...

the trousers are available over at SVMoscow and 4 in case you're still looking.

Hey guys, I ended up getting this long blazer from Old Lyric. There's no care tag but the store tag says it's from 04. Anyone have any idea when it's from? I don't own any Yohji besides this piece, so I figured I either have to buy more clothes, not necessarily Yohji, to go with this blazer or just sell it. But if it is a rare piece I'd rather keep it as a collector. Thanks for help. The wrinkles are from my not knowing how to fold clothes properly.

Why collect pieces that don't seem to particularly speak to you, which this piece does not seem like it does.

Rarity for rarity's sake seems a little silly since it's not like that piece is going to at some point be so in demand that the appreciation in value will justify the space it takes up or the trade off cost in you keeping it and not putting money into something you are more into.

that long jacket looks pretty cool to me. reminds me of the newer AW13 pieces. looks like it fits you pretty nicely, but the sleeves are too short for that proper yohji look. is that a cinch tie around the waist? I can see it in the interior photo.

great photos of AW15 pickpock. thanks for that.

@accordion regarding your query:-

Every Yohji piece is rare, which isn't especially if it is at least 10 years old? In other words every vintage Yohji piece is collectible to a certain degree but the wearer has to like it to justify even keeping it. If there is no care tag inside the pocket someone must have removed it ( even samples have tags ) which has already affected its authenticity.The sleeves look far too short, agree with @Parker

I've been reading but it's been a long time since I've contributed to this epic thread. Thank you all for keeping it going strong

That's a great fit cupper.


This was advertised as a 2012 SS pants though I couldn't spot it on any of the runway pics. Possible a non runway production?

^ Pretty sure those are Spring/Summer 2011 no?

Oh and with regards to the hakamas, my understanding is that it applies to the pleated trousers with a loose straight hem (as opposed to those with drawstring hems).
