      s'all I do.

      Re: Junya, I've never been much into his mens work, mainly because of his proportions (for shorter guys) and lately because of the aesthetic (workwear). But his womenswear is nothing like it... I was thinking yesterday if there are Junya men's collections where his womens design values are discernible?

        Fall Winter 07, vroom, vroom... The collection that is the dagger in the heart of many an SZer, turned every time Junya sends more plaid down the runway.

          So true. Also the women's rider jacket in that tumblr set looks absolutely amazing.

              any way of decoding this ?

              it's CDGH (junya) [boiled] 100% wool size M jacket. Possible from 1988 ???

                It was produced in 88, so probably part of the 89 season.

                Is it branded Junya or CDG? Junya's line didn't start until the early 90's I believe, but he did work for CDG prior to that.

                  It's CDGH so junya's design (I just had one from 2002 and it was oversized but stell short, that signature junya crop heh)

                  The D-TK9210 tag I've seen on other jackets but the HJ-05040M is obviously item code.

                  Also it says 100% wool in english but the japanese says also 50% cashmere. It seems to be felted (boiled) wool. I guess it has to be legit noway somebody would even bother faking a vintage like this hehe

                    Ya, not likely it's fake. Is the fabric consistent throughout (any added patches, etc.)?

                      I'm curious to see the actual jacket.

                          Thanks for the photos. Looks nice, I like the small buttons juxtaposed with the wide sleeves. The proportions look so 80s though.

                              I know Play is not considered "true" CDG....but are things going a bit far regardless?

                                disgusting perhaps a bit strong, but yes wtf absolutely; a little disheartening too. there's only so much slack someone can be cut, visually impressive 2-D felt dresses notwithstanding
