A striking and conceptually driven piece from the Y’s by Yohji Yamamoto Autumn/Winter 2004–05 collection, these black knit pants exemplify the designer’s mastery of utilitarian detail and sculptural proportion. Designed within Yohji Yamamoto’s long-running secondary line, Y’s translates his avant-garde language into wearable yet intellectually rigorous garments.
Crafted from 100% wool, the pants feature a substantial knit construction that provides warmth, structure, and a fluid drape through the leg. The silhouette is elongated and relaxed, with a straight-to-wide leg that falls cleanly to the ankle. Subtle textural knitting at the legs adds depth and visual interest while maintaining an understated, monochromatic appearance.
Wide suspender straps rise from the waistband and attach with industrial-inspired D-rings, creating a dramatic harness-like effect that is both functional and architectural. The interior is finished with 100% cotton trim, offering comfort against the body and reinforcing Yohji’s attention to thoughtful construction. The suspenders can be styled traditionally or allowed to hang loose, altering the garment’s attitude and proportion.
Rooted in utilitarian references yet executed with poetic restraint, these knit pants reflect Yohji Yamamoto’s ongoing exploration of deconstruction, workwear influences, and gender-neutral design. A rare and expressive example of early-2000s Y’s knitwear, ideal as a statement piece or layered within a monochrome wardrobe.
