Leather jacket from Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme, Autumn/Winter 1991-1992, also known as '6・1 THE MEN'. One of the most iconic pieces of archival menswear. The leather is soft and the oversized fit is simply perfect, with the leather folding at all the right places. It has been used a bit, but it is in great condition: it feels like new and it is amazing quality.
The theme of the collection was 'war'. The back-painted leather jacket represented the spirit of the man who goes to war for the woman on his back. Presented for the first time in the midst of the Gulf War, musicians Charles Lloyd, John Kale, and many others modeled for the show and sang together 'We Shall Overcome' as an anti-war song for the finale. It was presented for a second time four months later on June 1st, but this time in Tokyo as a joint presentation with Rei Kawakubo under the name '6・1 THE MEN', often cited as '6.1 THE MEN'.
