    Hi everyone,

    Would any one be able to tell me what the Y-3 jacket is made out of (inside and out)? I can't find one that fits me well (I'm between a medium and a small) so I've decided to just make my own replica myself. The design is pretty simple and I have my own small sewing studio. Any info would be appreciated, thank you all!

    RogueBond,

    The Y-3 jacket's shell is 96% Cotton and 4% Elastane. The lining is 100% Acetate.

    Mantis...thank you for the article. Well researched and quality stuff. If I were out there to get all this stuff I would certainly refer to your article.


    There was this one jacket I saw at a Farmers store here in New Zealand that was a dead ringer for the Y-3 jacket. I almost bought it, but decided to get a sweater instead. :# I thought it would be available later on but when I went back it was no longer there. I think it was done by the company Chisel though. Interesting...

    I received the Topman Navy Smart Polo in the mail today and it's very nice. The fit is great and it looks nice with my cream Levis. For $24 I don't think I could have found a better alternative to the Sunspel.

    What do you guys think of this jacket as an alternative to the Y-3?

    Dickies Unlined Eisenhower Jacket

    I believe the patch can be easily removed. It has the correct buttons on the side and the sleeves.

    The above linked jacket doesn't look to close to the flm one in my opinion, the collar isn't right and it looks like a fleece thick kind of jacket, keep the suggestions coming though.

    RogueBond, good choice on the polo I forgot Topman operates in the US too now!

    I still havent had a question answered people! are the sta prest pants with the polo the same ones (or a different colour) to the ones worn in italy at mathis' villa?

    Which size did you order? They've run out of size S!!! And I'm reluctant to order a M because I think it won't fit as snug as a S.

    Cdrjamesbond- i usually wear a small and the small was perfect for me, so if medium are oki for you then go for a medium!

    And thank you Mantis fot the information, a great help as always!
