oversized funnelneck sweater in heavyweight 4 gauge knitted wool. voluminous proportions with dropped shoulders, a wide body, and overlong raglan style sleeves. the wide and high neck envelopes the entire neck and chin and can be folded down for a neat collared effect. finished with subtle ribbed structure at the cuffs and bottom hem.
notes chunky, heavyweight knitwear is hard to come by from y's for men and makes all the difference in fall and winter weather. this classic wardrobe staple features an unmistakable yohji twist, with a dramatic collar that provides excellent warmth around the neck and face. just as excellent in standalone wear as it is in layered coordinations. tagged size medium but is a quite free size that can accommodate up to a large as well.
for a few years beginning with the a/w 03 season, y's for men collections were shown alongside mainline pour homme collections on the runway as a capsule collection of sorts that synergized and integrated with the overarching seasonal mood. the a/w 03 "pimp" collection featured y's for men looks with a strong military edge in heavy woolens processed with special overdye and fulling treatments. see the looks from the full collection here.

condition
- 7/10 condition - general pilling throughout that can be managed with a wool brush or lint shears, not too noticeable due to black color - mild point of stretch where the right sleeve meets the base of the ribbed neck. this is not a hole and is only noticeable if wearing white / light colored base layers underneath, in which case it will show through a little. can be mended to tighten up if desired.
