About the original
Yohji Yamamoto founded his namesake label in Tokyo in 1972 and has shown in Paris since 1981, working in drape, monochrome palettes, and voluminous tailoring. Y's for men is his long-running menswear line. This short-sleeve logo tee is made in Japan from 100% cotton plain-stitch jersey finished with silicone softener, with the Y's for men wordmark printed at the front hem. The FW2020 Supreme drop was Supreme's first collaboration with Yamamoto, pairing the Supreme box logo with the Yohji Yamamoto signature on a standard cotton tee.
