How do you identify Yohji Yamamoto?
1 Answer

To identify Yohji Yamamoto, look for the designer's label on the necks of dresses and tops and the waists of bottoms. You can find images of the various labels used by the luxury maker online. To learn more about your piece, locate the series of numbers at the top of its wash tag. The first characters represent the collection of apparel, with “M” representing Y's, “H” standing for Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme and “F” denoting Yohji Yamamoto Women’s pieces. The next set of digits contains a letter code that tells you the seasons from which the garment originated. For example, an “H” usually means the Spring/Summer 2019 collection. You can find a full listing of these codes in online databases. Explore a variety of Yohji Yamamoto apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.

Yohji Yamamoto Rare Early Tweed Jacket
By Yohji Yamamoto
Located in New York, NY
Exceptional and rare Yohji Yamamoto Tweed Jacket from one of his earliest collections presented in Paris in the early 1980's. Cut as an oversized mens jacket but detailed through a Japanese lens. Extended shoulders cut wide with no pads taper to the hip. The lapels are cut to protrude and jut forward at double breasted closure. The double vented back is cut higher and tapers down in the front. Exaggerated thick herringbone tweed textile is also subtly subversive. Jacket can be worn by men as well and looks amazing. Label was removed in the period.
