"Y's" 90's-00's Open collar long cotton shirt coat

Since its founding in 1972, Y's has continued to expand the framework of fashion—introducing the idea of women wearing men's clothing and proposing everyday wear for independent women. We are pleased to present you with this exceptionally rare and valuable piece.

Lavishly crafted from refined white cotton fabric, it conceals the functional beauty of workwear within a minimal, pared-down tailoring. The result is a quiet enhancement of the wearer's individuality.

This is an archive piece from the 1990s to the early 2000s, characterized by an extremely simple woven fabric name label placed at the collar. It remains an invaluable testament to the universality the Yōji Yamamoto company pursued at the time, along with its tough, durable stitching specifications that live on today.

The neckline features an open-collar design with just the right amount of exposure. It beautifully showcases the décolletage while still giving off a distinctly masculine impression. And with the front’s elegant buttons arranged at equal intervals, it creates clean vertical lines across the overall silhouette.

And although it is shaped in the format of a shirt, practical slash pockets are placed on both sides. This gives it functionality like a light outer layer, while the finely engraved detail in the stitching work and the natural texture inherent to the fabric create a distinctive play of shadow and depth.

The cuffs incorporate a classic cuff style, allowing you to enjoy a lively expression by casually rolling the sleeves up. In addition, its genderless sizing creates a flattering drape without requiring any particular body type—making it an ideal choice for those who want to naturally incorporate an atmosphere of refined mode into everyday wardrobes.

Designed to combine the firm sense of history that only vintage can offer with the seasonality that lets you wear it like a light coat in modern times, this motif is especially recommended for those who seek a quiet strength that speaks through texture. Its balance also makes it easy to wear in daily life without any sense of formality—an appeal all its own.

For styling, pair it with black slacks with a subdued sheen or simple wide trousers. This brings the contrast of monochrome sharply into focus while completing a stylish presence with a grounded core.

By slipping a simple cut-and-sew top or a lightweight knit into the inner layer and creating a layered look with voluminous bottoms, you can express an adult elegance that evokes a historical backbone. It is a style you can wear for a long time without being limited by the season.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
