Veste à remises double boutonnage Yohji Yamoto Y’s pour homme SCHKEYBEIN SS88

Since the 1980s, Yohji Yamamoto has redefined fashion with his refined silhouettes, monochromatic palettes, and radically deconstructed tailoring which have become synonymous with a poetic defiance against the rigid structures of fashion. Among his many lines, Y's for Men has consistently offered an extension of his avant-garde ethos, while the rare SCHLÜSSELBEIN sub-line, introduced briefly in the late 1980s, pushed that concept even further. Named after the German word for “collarbone,” it served as an anatomical and symbolic reference point, highlighting the tension between restriction and freedom that defines Yamamoto's most innovative work.

From this elusive SCHLÜSSELBEIN sub-line of Spring/Summer 1988 collection, comes this exceptional piece, a sharply cut, asymmetrical jacket that exemplifies Yohji's architectural sensibility and meticulous attention to form. Crafted in a sleek black fabric, the garment features multiple detailing all throughout, including an asymmetric construction, a bold square neckline, double-breasted front, and contoured back with asymmetric angular flap pockets that adds subtle structure without compromising the effortless drape Yamamoto is known for.

The jacket is a OS and fits like a size Medium, offering a relaxed irregular shape that'd complement a variety of layering styles. Despite being a true vintage from the late 80s, it remains in good condition with no noticeable flaws, save for some fading along the inner upper back, as seen in the 5th picture, an unobtrusive detail that (obviously) stays hidden when worn. A rare archival find, this piece embodies Yohji's enduring ability to challenge and redefine the language of menswear.
