"Yves Saint Laurent"
80's-90's Relaxed wool v-neck cardigan

Since its founding in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent has brought mode and elegance into everyday wear. We are pleased to present this exceptional piece of classic knitwear.

With its timeless design—featuring a deep V-neck, button-front styling, and front patch pockets—this piece exudes understated refinement through its calm color palette and the texture of soft wool.

The quality label confirms that it is made of 100% wool. The knit fabric, with a medium-gauge feel, has a pleasantly balanced thickness. While it includes gentle fuzz on the surface, it does not look heavy, and offers warmth that naturally blends into layered fall and winter outfits.

The color is a charcoal-leaning gray; depending on the shooting environment, it may also appear to have a depth reminiscent of greige. As it is not as stark as black, it harmonizes with basic colors such as brown, navy, and off-white, resulting in a versatile, well-coordinated look.

The silhouette features a relaxed balance with slightly dropped shoulder lines, and the body width has a comfortable amount of ease. As a result, even when you tuck in a shirt or a lightweight turtleneck, it will not feel restrictive. The ribbing at the hem and cuffs refines the overall outline, so even though it is a relaxed knit, it maintains a neat, polished presence without looking sloppy.

In terms of its era, the overall impression suggests it is a domestic licensed piece from around the 1980s to the 1990s, based on factors such as the woven name tape with a look of a black base with blue border lines, the quality label in Japanese indicating a product code believed to be AS60-010 and 100% wool, and the absence of modern markings such as QR codes or URLs.

Unlike items that strongly feature the current logo, this piece’s unique value lies in how it speaks to its appeal through understated labeling and the presence of classic knitwear. It is especially recommended for those who want to naturally incorporate the background of a luxury brand into their everyday attire, or for those who prefer to wear high-quality vintage fashion subtly.

For styling, of course, pairing it with wool slacks to create a calm traditional look is an option. You can also achieve an urban balance while retaining a distinctly vintage warmth by combining it with faded denim and leather shoes.

Because it is simple, the quality of the materials and the flattering silhouette stand out even more—this is truly a piece that will serve you well for years as part of your wardrobe. Please consider this opportunity.
