"Y's" 80's-early 90's Relaxed tailored wool skirt suit

There is a stain on the right sleeve at the side of the shoulder

"Y's"
Set-up wool skirt suit from the 80s to the early 90s

From Y's, a label that has long cared about the crisp sense of space and the distance from the body as everyday wear created by Yohji Yamamoto, we present a piece that carries a quiet mode feel.

This set-up features a tailored jacket and a long skirt in soft cream beige wool.

The outer fabric is listed as 100% wool on the tag, and the gentle color tone—rather than pure white, including an off-white—adds softness to Y's uncompromising, strict sense of construction. The slightly textured weave, with a hint of slub character, creates a look that is minimalist yet full of depth.

The jacket is a neat tailored style with a notch lapel, three front buttons, and waist pockets. While the shoulder area has a well-balanced structure, the body width and length are given some ease, so it doesn’t strongly cling to your figure. When worn, it creates Y's signature relaxed balance that seems to hold air around the body.

The skirt is a long, straight line with a slightly more fitted feel. At the waist, belt-like details and hardware are added, and the structure reminiscent of a wrap skirt lends a subtle tension around the waist. Combined with the jacket’s polished impression, it draws a silhouette of quiet mode that differs from a classic suit.

Inside, the garment is lined. In the Japanese quality labels, the lining is listed as cupro, and in foreign-language labeling, it is described as rayon. This can be understood as specifications that include variations between domestic and overseas listings at the time. The lining also allows for smooth layering when worn, while retaining the warmth characteristic of wool and delivering a neat, comfortable fit.

The stains and shifts in color that have emerged over time are not merely damage, but quietly echo the decadent aesthetic sense inherent to Yohji Yamamoto.

A piece you can enjoy for its shadows and space—those created only because time has shaped it, rather than something perfectly arranged.

Regarding the period, we can infer it is likely a Y's vintage from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, based on the fact that the Y's woven care label uses Y's wording with black thread on a white background, rather than the more currently common “Yohji Yamamoto” spelling. In addition, there are no modern QR code or URL notations, and the washing symbols that follow older JIS standards, as well as quality labels that resemble those typed on a typewriter, further support this timeframe.

While it is in a soft cream tone, it doesn’t lean into sweetness. The wool texture and the straight-edged pattern keep a sense of core and structure, making it especially recommended for those who want to bring Y's early mood into everyday life, as well as for anyone seeking a set-up that naturally blends into a modern wardrobe while still carrying a background as a vintage piece.

For styling, you can enjoy the crisp, poised look by wearing it as a set with leather shoes or slim boots. Or, by layering the jacket over wide-leg pants, or pairing the skirt with a simple high-gauge knit, you can subtly incorporate the beauty of space—distinctly Yohji Yamamoto—into daily wear.

This is truly a collectible piece with appeal not only in its old-school Japan-made material feel, but also in tag specifications that are not found on current items. Please consider this opportunity.
