Yohji makes you work for his clothes. Right now I'm wearing the first YY piece I bought - a second-hand Y's cut-and-sew knit jacket (men's judging from the button placement) with unfinished edges. I wear the dang thing every day the temperature goes below 80F. I was in college and I had no money, so I sold a thrifted fox fur capelet to Buffalo exchange to make the $40 the flea market seller was asking for. (OT, but if you live in the NYC area, check out The Garage flea market on 25th st. between 6th and 7th aves. Ask around for Karen or Ziggy, they know their stuff and Karen always has something incredible).
Anyway, I've stuffed this jacket under and over thick shirts and heavy jackets, and it's only ever torn at the underarms (easy fix) a couple times. I've built half my wardrobe around it. And it's great for almost every situation.
I only want a better-paying job so I can buy more yohji... xD
