"Yves Saint Laurent diffusion hommes" 80’s-90’s structured glitter pinstripe wool suit set-up

Name-included

While embodying the spirit of the era, it continues to propose an elegance that is never overtaken by trends, guiding the image of men towards sophistication, and from Yves Saint Laurent, we introduce a piece with outstanding tailoring.

The pinstripes with depth subtly define the silhouette, creating a balance that speaks of elegance just by standing there.

The jacket features a gently sloped shoulder line and a moderate ease in the body, evoking power dressing from the late 1980s to early 1990s, yet it embodies Saint Laurent's characteristic moderation that prevents the wearer from appearing overly strong.

The lapel is designed to feel broad, and the position of the collar is kept relatively low, creating a classic shadow around the face, which helps maintain a stable style whether paired with a shirt or layered with a knit.

The body is made from fabric blended with 94% wool and 6% nylon, maintaining weight and elasticity while enhancing wrinkle recovery, so even after many years, the contours are less likely to collapse, and the high-quality tailoring remains intact during daily movements.

Moreover, the stripe woven with glittering threads reflects light more subtly, blending into the deep wool base color and shimmering delicately like particles, causing the impression to change with distance. From afar, it appears as a neat striped suit, but upon closer inspection, the density of luxury is revealed. Additionally, the light flowing along the vertical rhythm of the stripes creates shadows and highlights that move in harmony with the body's movements, producing a three-dimensional effect that cannot be achieved with a single-color setup. This adds a sense of specialness without excessive ornamentation, which is a unique value of this piece.

The cuffs are equipped with aligned buttons, ensuring practical strength and visual rhythm, which conveys the quality when viewed up close and subtly makes a difference.

The slacks feature a design that wraps around the waist with a gusset and a carefully processed front placket structure, ensuring stability when worn while maintaining a straight silhouette that elongates the legs.

Inside, a smooth lining made of nylon and cupro is used, and the woven expression reminiscent of YSL's design and the piping finishing around the edges are meticulously executed, allowing you to feel the high standards of Japanese tailoring at the time despite it being a licensed line.

It can be judged to be from the late 1980s to early 1990s, and as evidence, the manufacturer number C-OS-468 listed on the quality label tag is linked to a manufacturing line approved by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry at the time, associated with Seibu Department Store's specifications, and the woven label style with diffusion hommes matches the design language that symbolizes Saint Laurent's male image of that era, leading to a credible period identification.

Additionally, the traces of personal name embroidery on the back of the placket quietly tell the story of the era when name-insertion services were common at the time of purchase, increasing its value not just as clothing but as an archive that preserves the tactile culture.

Styling-wise, pairing a dress shirt with a tie to lean towards classic French elegance enhances the neatness of this setup, and by combining it with high-quality knitwear and removing the tie, it can be incorporated into everyday wear as the effortless elegance that Saint Laurent excelled at. Furthermore, layering with a long coat emphasizes the vertical lines, resulting in an outfit that exudes genderless sophistication.

Take this opportunity.
