YOHJI YAMAMOTO Black Thin Stripe Jacket

Product Insights & Style Tips

The YOHJI YAMAMOTO Black Thin Stripe Jacket is all drape, movement, and quiet precision—the kind of outer layer that turns even a simple look into a subversive gesture. Pinstripes arc over a fluid, lightweight viscose that feels less strict boardroom, more smoky Tokyo backstreet. The shawl collar lays languid at the neck, nodding to classic tailoring but with an ease that’s distinctly Yohji. Modified, notched sleeves and vented sides lend this jacket its off-kilter, avant-garde stance—unfussy, yet every detail feels deliberate and sharp.

Loose through the body and cinched at the waist with a drawstring, it’s built to fall and gather around you rather than lock you in. There’s a sense of freedom to how it layers over knits or tees, with the open sides adding still more movement. Without lining, the jacket keeps its slouch and breathe—equally at home ghosting through a gallery, slipping into a cocktail hour, or thrown over unconventional tailoring for a night that doesn’t have to compromise comfort for impact. Inside pockets aren’t noted, but the focus here is on form and silhouette over storage; the look is intent on letting the lines of the body (and whatever’s beneath) come through.

True to the POUR HOMME ethos, this jacket reads as a counterpoint to rigid dress codes, celebrating Yamamoto’s signature play of structure and soft rebellion. Pair it with oversized trousers, creepers, and a flash of silver jewelry for a look that channels late-night Shibuya meets Left Bank creative. The thin stripe is classic, but the attitude is unmistakably now.
