YYPH x Dianese AW04 Motorcycle Jacket
Yohji Yamamoto
$1,750
Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme AW04 Runway Dianese Motorcycle Jacket. Yohji introduced a collaboration between his labels and the technical motorcycle gear specialist Dianese. The Red/White design strongly resembles the “Toga72” jacket from the Settantadue line. Key differences are the removal of the Dianese logo and zip pocket at the front, “Y O H J I” type leather patch in the center region and the “Riders” design on the back. Minor differences are changes in stitch count, refining of the piping, the concealment of minor production faults and rounder edges. Many variations of the jacket were introduced in 2004 for the Y’s line, but few made it to the mainline “Pour Homme” runway. Jacket has padding on elbows and shoulders.

FW05 “History of My World” All Shadows Hoodie
Raf Simons
$2,400
FW05 “History of My World” All Shadows Hoodie
Raf Simons FW05 "History of My World" All Shadows Hoodie. Despite the runway being absent of the highly sought after graphics for this season, Simons looked to revisit his personal milestones in his past for the two part FW2005 collection. Raf's display to his connection to music is undoubtedly the primer to his most compelling garments. FW05 was one of the last displays of such meaning, departing from such endeavors and focusing more so on modernist, sleek cuts inspired by euro subcultures. Graphics throughout this season were labeled with cryptic lyrics from The Cure, graphics inspired by the 1982 film "Poltergeist", and even a few references to experimental musician John Cage. The hoodies, tees and sweaters were massive and overwhelming, patched with what looks like a collage of Raf's personal visual displays, with the help of peter de potter, of his inspirations and nostalgia.
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson

SS06 Arkansas Football Varsity Moto Jacket
Junya Watanabe SS06 "Arkansas Football" Varsity Moto Jacket in Red. Many forget that Junya Watanabe's "Man" line is unlike his more focused self titled women's which roots original ideas from season to season. The 'Man' line typically reintroduces multiple themes and designs from Watanabe's time capsule which borrows or reissues from older seasons -- Most common being the "poem" designs which were released in 2001, 2005, 2008/09 and recently. The varsity theme is one of the few themes that stays unique to only two years: 2002 and 2006. The season featured nostalgic motifs from middle America varsity sports and school mascots. Pants, hoodies, tees and shirts sported graphics of said mascots and logos. Unique to this season however, a handful of these designs were printed on garments with biker details which were indicative by padded knees, shoulders and zips on limb ends to tuck boots or gloves under. Moto jacket is of a sweatshirt material. Moto details include adjustable leather waist straps, padded details, zippered pockets and wrist zips. Faded red.

SS16 “Cylcops” Calf LeatherMoto Jacket
Rick Owens
$800 $555
SS16 “Cylcops” Calf LeatherMoto Jacket
From the iconic SS16 (Cyclops) collection, Rick Owens refined his Moto Jacket cut with soft thick calf leather giving it a rather structured look. Like most other looks in cyclops this jacket was strongly influenced by militaristic aesthetics. The zipper is angled across the front panel of the jacket complementing the asymmetrical subtle details. Featuring many pockets and high quality zippers this jacket along with other Rick jackets is one that can withstand a lifetime.
For cyclops, Rick Owens instructed his models to walk the runway sporting fur covered tubes over the head blocking their peripheral vision. Rick described the philosophy behind this with a metaphor on masculinity: "This Rick Owens spring summer 2016 men's collection is titled Cyclops a monster with a narrow focal point. I can see this in myself in my determined urge to find the straightest line from point a to point b as quickly as possible. A trait I have always assumed is mostly a masculine one. And I’m constantly trying to make sure this ambitious urge for efficiency and control doesn’t teeter over into aggression. I suspect a lot of other men wrestle with that too."

Raf Simons
$585
SS05 “History of the World” Denim Blouson w/ Extended Arms
Raf Simons SS05 Washed Denim Blouson w/ Extended Arms. "History of The World" was the title of the season followed by the iconic "History of My World" released in the following fall. At this point in time Simons shifted his focus from attitudes and slogans to undergoing a bold reshaping of menswear. Collection focuses on modern, suave, early 70's german futurist cuts. This allows Raf to express his tailoring prowess and breath something new, but familiar to menswear, with some looks bordering near the sartorial. Silhouettes were precisely lean at top and wide at bottom, as with many seasons following until 2008 or so. There's no doubt that Raf Simons shaped all facets, including his underrated later era of tailoring, of menswear. Mid section sits on waist. Long arms that are meant to go past wrists. Zip pockets. Arm flap pocket on left arm.

AW03 “Closer” Puffer Down Moto Jacket
Raf Simons
$1,200
AW03 “Closer” Puffer Down Moto Jacket
Raf Simons AW03 "Closer" Puffer Down Moto Jacket in a dark navy. Simons's "Closer" touches base with his roots to music, especially with Joy Division and New Order, with Raf's Peter Saville admiration spearheading the entire collection. Taken from the Mode Museum in Antwerp:
"This season, Raf Simons was granted full access to the archives of Peter Saville. Raf Simons made a personal selection of Saville-designed works (some of them previously unseen) to integrate them into his collection. As a long-time admirer of Peter Saville, Raf Simons considers this a great honour, and therefore dedicates his collection to the man who put an unique spin on music culture. The collection itself focuses on traditional styles and fabrics, augmented by a mod influence. Linked to the aesthetics of Peter Saville, there are also touches of early Russian Constructivism, Bauhaus and vintage British looks. At the same time, the collection reflects on the process of growing up and (re)considering adulthood, citing references to childhood dress codes, formal business looks and ghetto rebellion."
Cleanly executed crossover of a puffer jacket and moto jacket, which nods to two different functions and styles from two worlds and tailors them harmoniously together. Puffer jacket is structured as a moto jacket and sought to be fitted close to the chest. Multiple functional zip pockets. Snap button down lapels. Round and wide silhouette. Adjustable waist buckles. Arm pocket. High waisted.
8/10 condition. Right pocket is blown out and needs repair. Size 54, extremely rare size. Fits an XL-XXL.

AW02 “Virginia Creeper” Roots Hoodie (Wine)

The Acid wash treatment slowly eats away at the fabric, leaving scars on the hoodie's surface molded around the wearer. "Virginia Creeper" is labeled throughout, resembling an old American collegiate sweater or varsity logo. On the back is print of "roots" spreading out. More vibrant and rarer wine/red colourway.
Raf's signature acid wash treatment is unique to each item. Some distressing is from use while others simply were sold with heavily distributed distressing. Size 48, fits a slim M, slightly shrunk from the oversized fit.

Fw01 “Riot Riot Riot” Skirted Camo Bomber
Raf Simons
$8,350
Fw01 “Riot Riot Riot” Skirted Camo Bomber
Raf Simons Fw01 "Riot Riot Riot" Skirted Camo Bomber. As Raf's garments become more and more coveted, only circulating in the tucked away collector's marketplace, it becomes harder to document the pieces that actually hold historical and aesthetic significance as they become harder to come in hand. Held at an abandoned warehouse in Paris, fog machines spewing smoke, Aphex Twin blaring overhead was Raf's most influential and iconic runway: FW01 "Riot! Riot! Riot!", dedicated to isolated hero Richey Edwards from the Manic Street Preachers. Models were coded in black, grey, olive and muddy colours, completely covered in scarves, outerwear, baggy pants, oversized everything. This was a massive turn for Raf, as his previous collections consisted of sartorial, slim, finely cut and precisely designed garments which were influenced by upperclass youth. Undoubtedly influential to current day designers, but mostly ignored by the hoi polloi at its time.
“At the flea market in Vienna, I saw youngsters from the Ukraine or Romania, who simply lay layer by layer and thus create their own volumes because of the cold,” Neue Zürcher Zeitung
Raf captured the ethos of iconoclasm with this season. The runway was filled with large silhouettes of intense layering and wreaked of radicalism. Each look represented a slice of opposition, more specifically from the youth. This collection also happened to be shown a bit before the 9/11 attacks, but is believed to be more of a quiet observation of racial tensions and political turmoil in northern Europe at the time.
Skirted bomber is actually a repurposed surplus military bomber with a detachable skirt made with thick double layered cotton. Faded and meant to look worn. First look that walked the catwalk.
8/10 condition. One Size, Fits S-XL.
