“Y’s” 20AW Rope detail stand collar wool coat

“Y’s” 20AW Rope detail stand collar wool coat

From Y’s, founded by Yōji Yamamoto in 1972 and dedicated to pursuing the functionality of everyday wear alongside its unique approach to form, we present an exceptional stand-collar coat featuring standout rope detailing at the neckline and a three-dimensional silhouette that envelops the body.

Designed with deep navy as its base, this piece combines a stand collar crafted to rise high and cover the neck area, with rope detailing that flows downward from there—integrating an original sense of sculptural beauty into the classic coat’s overall presence.

Its most striking feature is the sculptural design at the collar, created by the overlap of the fabric.

The collar, set to add height, is structured so that the fabric crosses at the front. By wrapping around the neckline, it delivers a refined impression while also creating a look with depth that differs from a typical stand collar.

Furthermore, the three-dimensional rope detailing positioned along the collar buttons traces organic curves through the coat’s otherwise linear construction. The rope detail also hangs longer to one side, adding rich expression in harmony with the way the garment moves when worn.

This rope styling elevates practical motifs reminiscent of marine wear or military wear into decoration through Y’s free-spirited interpretation, bringing a subtle tension and individuality to the overall look.

The fabric is made with 90% wool and 10% polyester. Thanks to wool’s soft napped texture and a dense, substantial feel, rich tonal depth is created in the deep navy color.

In addition, the contrasting fabric uses a blend of wool and nylon, and the lining is made entirely of smooth cupro (100%), resulting in a tailored finish that considers not only visual weight, but also comfort when slipping on and wearing.

The silhouette is characterized by a constructed form that flows generously from the shoulders into the body, then naturally widens toward the hem.

With the sleeves designed to have width and a roomy body that does not cling excessively to the wearer’s lines, soft curves are created in accordance with the wearer’s movement, enabling a free styling approach regardless of gender or body type.

The front features buttons arranged in a regular pattern and two side pockets. By keeping the body relatively simple in contrast to the complex collar construction, the piece achieves a polished overall balance.

Based on the alignment between the product code system listed inside and the product code system used in Y’s 2020 Autumn/Winter collection, this can be determined as a work from the Autumn/Winter season developed between 2020 and 2021.

During the same period, Y’s reinterpreted structures derived from workwear and uniforms, pursuing expressive forms that emphasize the space created between the wearer’s body and the garment, as well as the combination of different elements—an idea clearly reflected in this piece as well.

For styling, pair it with wide-leg wool slacks and voluminous leather shoes to enjoy a refined mode look that highlights the coat’s constructed form.

You can also pair it with a simple turtleneck or shirt, letting the rope detail at the collar take center stage—creating a look with depth while keeping the decoration restrained.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
