"YVES SAINT LAURENT" 80’s-90’s glen check tailored suit set

While laying the foundation of mode, Yves Saint Laurent has never compromised the outline of elegance. Through refined tailoring, he has transformed the era's atmosphere into sophistication. Here, we introduce a Glen check piece that is both impressive and iconic.

This piece's design and proportion of the shoulders vividly tell the mood of that era.

Regarding the authenticity of the era, the combination of the handwritten-style "diffusion hommes" logo on the tag and the size notation C96-W86-T170 AB5, based on the old JIS standards, is significant. Coupled with the manufacturing background of Onward Kashiyama, which held the official license in Japan, and the wool mark consistent with the design of that time, it naturally aligns with pieces from the late 1980s to early 1990s.

Made of 100% pure wool, the fabric's fiber density, free from blends, directly contributes to its drape. The elasticity and flexibility felt upon touch enhance the beauty of the drape when moving.

The plaid pattern uses Glen check, providing a classic sense of dignity while creating visual depth. The shadowing that cannot be achieved with plain suits leaves a strong impression without overstatement, making it a compelling feature.

The jacket features a thick notch lapel that creates a solid face, giving a neat impression at the chest. The button placement is slightly lower, which drops the vertical center of gravity and creates a relaxed, powerful presence reminiscent of power suits from that era.

The shoulder area is generously proportioned, while the body is balanced to avoid excessive widening, making it easy to create a structured silhouette that suits any body type and can lead to a dignified, gender-neutral aura.

The trousers are designed with a deep rise and pleats, creating a three-dimensional effect around the waist while the legs fall straight. The movement when walking, combined with the softness of high-quality wool, manifests as a quiet sex appeal.

The double finish at the hem adds a moderate weight to the feet, enhancing the overall volume and contributing to a classic finish, which should not be overlooked.

The added value of this item lies in its manufacturing by Onward Kashiyama during a period when their products were of high completeness among licensed items. It is based on French supervision standards while ensuring pattern accuracy that fits the Japanese physique, and the internal finishing and pocket treatments reflect the costs of that era.

This exquisite piece is especially recommended for those who want to incorporate tailoring into their daily aesthetic rather than wearing suits formally. It respects the classics while embodying a sense of mode tension, elevating the core of your wardrobe. As a MOOD, I would suggest it as a piece that can go beyond formality and be integrated as a convincing presence in your overall look, not just as a set-up.

In terms of styling, pairing a shirt or minimal cut-and-sew pieces to highlight the tailored silhouette creates a neat and polished look. Additionally, layering with a long coat or simple knit can bring the elegance of that era into a modern context, making it a highly versatile piece that can be easily styled for a genderless, refined, and mode-forward appearance.

Please take this opportunity.
