YOHJI YAMAMOTO White Cotton Broad Double Collar Shirt

Product Insights & Style Tips

The YOHJI YAMAMOTO White Cotton Broad Double Collar Shirt delivers that signature subversive tailoring—the classic white shirt remixed with a sharp, architectural update. Cut from crisp cotton broadcloth, it has a clean, weighty drape and an almost architectural rigidity that holds its sculptural double collar in place. The layered spread collar nods to Yohji’s codes of unexpected construction, pushing a traditional menswear staple into avant-garde territory, while crisp buttoned barrel cuffs and a chest patch pocket keep it rooted in utility and precision.

This shirt’s proportion and fit blur the line between classic and offbeat. The twin pleats at the back yoke offer just enough volume to let the shirt fall away from the body in a carefully unstudied way. Its shirttail hem lends itself to half-tucks, sharp tailoring, or letting it hang loose over fluid trousers for that insouciant, borrowed-from-the-boys effect. The patch pocket adds a discreet spot for stashing card cases or a metro pass, and the doubled collar warms up to layering—popping under a structured blazer or framing a draped coat collar seamlessly. It transitions easily between studio, dinner, and street—never losing its coolly detached energy.

Yohji Yamamoto’s approach to shirting is iconic for good reason—the interplay between tension and ease, traditional codes and left-of-center detail. This piece lives right at that intersection; for devotees of directional tailoring and unexpected proportions, it’s more than a basic, it’s a statement. Wear it with all-black layers in true Yamamoto spirit, or break it up with something vintage and rough-edged for contrast.
