Oversized wool jacket from Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme, Autumn/Winter 1991-1992, also known as '6・1 THE MEN'. The black wool fabric is both soft and solid and the oversized fit is simply perfect, having the folds at all the right places. It has been used and there are some small stains and cigarette burns.
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'.
