"i wish Y's bis" late 80's-90's Relaxed linen cotton long jacket

"I wish Y's bis"
Late 80s-90s linen cotton relaxed long jacket

From “I wish Y's bis,” which inherits Y's sense of free everyday living and the mode-like feel with shoulders relaxed, we would like to present a unique piece featuring beautifully layered black.

With a long-length jacket as the base, this piece creates a soft sense of space that differs from precise tailoring, thanks to the rustic texture of linen cotton and the ribbed switch at the cuffs.

The outer fabric is made of 55% linen and 45% cotton. The dry feel characteristic of linen, combined with cotton’s natural wear-in comfort, brings depth to black-toned shades. Depending on the lighting, it can even appear like smudge charcoal, and the expression that remains quiet and distinctly Y's enhances its understated presence.

This long jacket features a front with lapels and buttons. Around the waist, it has sizable patch pockets, giving it a practical look while still retaining elements of a classic coat. The silhouette, which allows room from the shoulders through the width of the body, does not cling to the body’s lines and instead creates a natural drape.

In addition, the separate fabric shows a listing of 100% rayon. Subtle differences in texture around the collar area and at the switching points create tonal shadows even within similar shades. And because the cuffs include rib-knit switching, it feels lighter than a typical tailored jacket—resulting in a well-balanced piece that is easy to incorporate into everyday layering.

As for the era, the neck tag confirms woven labels for “i wish” and “Y's bis.” The quality labeling includes “Fabriqué au Japon,” “Made in Japan,” and “Y's bis Co.,Ltd.” Furthermore, the washing instructions are centered in Japanese and use an older JIS-style format. Since there is no evidence of the standardized new ISO listings from 2016 onward or QR codes, this is a highly consistent piece as an archive from the late 1980s to around the 1990s.

This item’s value lies not in making a luxurious statement too loudly, but in what can be created with the fabric’s dry expression, the long length, and the spare, black-driven atmosphere. It is especially recommended not only for those seeking rarity as a vintage item, but also for anyone who wants to add just a hint of modern mode contours to their everyday style.

For styling, pairing with wide slacks or linen pants helps bring out vertical lines, resulting in a composed look. If you insert a white or off-white/cream shirt as the inner layer, you can enjoy a refined layered effect that makes the depth of black stand out even more.

A vintage piece that lets Y's characteristic quietness and the light, everyday sensibility unique to “i wish Y's bis” coexist—please take advantage of this opportunity.
