"YVES SAINT LAURENT" 90's-00's Wool cashmere checked tweed tailored jacket

Since its founding in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent pour homme has introduced new sensibilities to traditional tailoring, offering men’s wardrobes refined elegance. We would like to present a standout piece where the beauty of the materials and classic tailoring are especially evident.

By layering delicate brown-toned lattice patterning over a deep dark charcoal fabric, this piece creates a rich expression even within a calm, understated color palette. The use of premium wool-and-cashmere blended material adds a softness that enhances its impeccably composed, well-structured presence.

The lattice pattern is so finely arranged that from a distance it appears almost plain. Up close, the color interplay of the yarns and the intricate woven motif become distinctly visible. While the design is anchored in dark tones, the warmth of brown adds a subtle accent.

With the orderly patterning reminiscent of traditional British tailoring naturally harmonizing with the urban sensibility that is characteristic of Saint Laurent, this design is easy to incorporate not only into classic ensembles, but also into contemporary fashion styles.

The outer fabric uses a blend of 85% wool and 15% cashmere. Thanks to the appropriate firmness and warmly textured feel inherent to wool, complemented by cashmere’s naturally soft touch, the tailored jacket’s structured silhouette is beautifully brought to the fore.

In addition, the fabric surface develops natural shading created by fine weaving, and depending on the angle at which it catches the light, the lattice pattern’s light-and-dark tones shift gently. This allows you to appreciate depth and dimension even within a simple color scheme.

The silhouette is designed in a classic manner, tracing crisp lines from the shoulders down to the chest. The body is given a moderate amount of ease, while a slightly longer jacket length creates a composed, well-balanced look.
A notch lapel of an appropriately measured width is set at the neckline; the natural line that continues from the shoulders to the chest helps define the jacket’s overall outline, giving the face area a neat, polished impression.

The front features a single-breasted, two-button configuration. When the buttons are fastened, a natural shape is formed at the waist. And when worn open, you can enjoy a relaxed style that takes advantage of the fabric’s soft drape.

This is a product from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. In addition to the brand tag of Yves Saint Laurent pour homme, the quality information bearing Onward Kashiyama’s domestic licensing at the time and the Made in Japan labeling allow you to sense the background as a men’s Saint Laurent garment that was marketed for the Japanese market.

These were license-produced items that brought European traditional styling in line with Japanese lifestyles and body types, reflecting the careful craftsmanship and material selection cultivated through domestic men’s tailoring. Here, too, the combination of a wool-and-cashmere blend fabric and impeccably tailored construction results in a finish that lets you fully enjoy its appeal.

For styling, pairing it with a simple shirt and wide slacks will create the classic, refined look associated with Saint Laurent. Alternatively, combining it with a turtleneck or a long skirt offers an elegant mode style in which the jacket’s structured form and soft silhouette harmonize beautifully.

We hope you will take this opportunity.
