Yohji Yamamoto founded Y's in Tokyo in 1972 and debuted in Paris in 1981, where the house still shows menswear and womenswear. Signature pieces include black wool and gabardine tailoring, oversized coats, asymmetric draping, wide trousers and layered jersey with hand-finished detailing. The group spans Y's, Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME, Limi Feu by daughter Limi Yamamoto, and Y-3, the Adidas line running since 2002. Private equity firm Integral Corp. has owned the company since its 2009 bankruptcy restructuring; Yamamoto, born 1943, remains creative director.

How Yohji Yamamoto fits
| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | relaxed and voluminous with low armholes | long body and sleeves | Take your usual size for the intended oversized layering look, or size down for something closer to standard. | low |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | boxy through the chest with dropped shoulders and generous sleeve volume | long body and long sleeves, often designed to be worn untucked | Size down one if you prefer a conventional shirt fit, and expect to push sleeves back regardless. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | runs large | relaxed to wide, rarely slim | long, usually needing a hem | Stick to your normal waist and expect a much roomier, longer leg than a standard denim brand. | low |
| Jackets | runs large | dramatically oversized with dropped shoulders and deep armholes, even on tailored blazers | long — coats often hit below the knee | Size down one from your usual jacket size unless you specifically want the full cocooning volume. | medium |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy to elongated, often with dropped shoulders and asymmetric or layered panels | long body, frequently hitting mid-hip or lower | Size down one if you want a normal t-shirt fit; keep your size for the intended tall, draping look. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | runs large | wide-leg, high-rise, heavily draped tailoring — the house signature | long inseams; hemming is common for anyone under about 6ft | Order your usual waist but plan on tailoring the length, and size down only if the waist sits loose on you. | medium |
Does Yohji Yamamoto run big or small?
Yohji Yamamoto runs large. Most people take their usual size for the intended oversized silhouette, but if you want anything close to a conventional fit, size down one — and check the numeric Japanese sizing (roughly 1=XS/S, 2=S/M, 3=M/L, 4=L/XL) before ordering. Yohji Yamamoto main-line pieces are cut deliberately oversized, long and drapey, so garments almost always wear larger than the label size suggests, while the Japanese numeric sizing itself can be confusing for first-time buyers.
