“Yves Saint Laurent” 90’s clean fly-front bal collar coat

Since the brand’s founding in 1962, it has been cherished as the “King of Fashion” and continues to captivate many people even now.

From YVES SAINT LAURENT, we are pleased to introduce an exquisite piece with beautiful tailoring.

This exquisite item is from the 1990s and was officially distributed within Japan.

It is as though Yves Saint Laurent’s aesthetic—“stripping away embellishment while achieving refinement”—has been 그대로 translated into an everyday outerwear piece. This stand-collar coat has been meticulously designed to create a well-balanced impression without adding decoration.

First, the front is made with a hidden placket (byyo), so the presence of the buttons does not show on the outside. The overall look converges into a minimalist,面で魅せる silhouette, while still preserving the crisp poise of a jacket—allowing you to enjoy the spaciousness of a long coat at the same time.

The neckline features a clean curve characteristic of a stand collar. When fastened all the way up, the collar is designed so it does not stand too upright nor lie too flat, creating a “standard strength” that complements both the tension of business settings and the sense of a dress for the evening.

The shoulder area is composed with lines that appear as raglan-style paneling. Because the shoulder line is not emphasized, you gain an improved range of motion—suppressing the tightness that coats can feel—while the look remains quietly refined and well put together.

The pockets are cut as slanted slash pockets with the opening running diagonally. As a result, inserting your hands feels natural, and practicality is recovered without creating unnecessary bulk around the waist—truly aligning with the 1990s value of “wearing good things for a long time.”

At the cuffs, there are button-fastening tabs. The subtle three-dimensionality created here adds shadow and depth to an otherwise plain long coat, and it also connects to functionality that lets you adjust how the sleeves sit. Even with restrained detailing, the overall craftsmanship is elevated.

The interior is fully lined, with smooth movement, and it is less likely to catch even when layered over a jacket. It is a specification that allows you to enjoy winter layering without stress—and it is precisely this kind of “invisible comfort” that reflects the seriousness of 1990s Japanese-made production.

With its fit that does not lean excessively toward trends, a calm front created by the hidden placket, and the ease of movement derived from raglan construction all at once, this piece is not characterized by the strong quirks often found in overseas vintage. Instead, it completes itself as elegance that harmonizes with Japanese daily life—this is the value unique to this item.

Even today, when coats in black or navy are everywhere, YVES SAINT LAURENT’s strength lies in not simply ending at “basic,” but showing refinement all the way through the wearer’s movements and demeanor.

For styling, pair center-pressed slacks with a crisp shirt, and coordinate the sole area with leather shoes to let the quiet serenity of the hidden placket stand out. If you want a little more mood, adding long boots to a slim pair of trousers to emphasize vertical lines will shift the coat’s minimalism into a more distinctly fashionable direction.

You can also create dimension by combining soft-material tops with well-made wool trousers—there’s no denying that even a simple composition gains depth, making it highly recommended.

Please take this opportunity.
