Looking for a Y-3

  I've been searching hard for a Medium Y-3 QOS jacket in the UK but to no avail. In fact I've only seen one in Large (or was it extra-large?) and that's it.
  
  Looks like production of these jackets has come to an end and remaining stocks have pretty much dried up in the UK.
  
  I am thinking of going to Magnoli for mine in the near future.

  I'm also after a medium as well. I spoke to aspecto who rang Y3 in germany for me (there main storehouse for the UK I presume.) and was told they have none left in stock, there is a small chance they may re-release it for next season, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
  
  I looked at the magnoli's jackect and its not the same material, the original y3 is 98% cotton and 2% elastane, while the magnoli's is just cotton so it won't have the same stretch as the y3. The collar is also different. It has a button flap which isn't on the original.
  
  Anyone out there willing to part with there medium y3 for more than they paid for it???

  The button strap is on the original Y-3, original stock and newer. In the movie you can see it folded back and buttoned when he slips the jacket on. There's an extra collar button on the right that you can have moved to do like wise. From what I can see, Mag's looks good if you can't get one of the Y-3s.

  And you can have it made to measure which is a huge bonus {[]

  I stand corrected, just checked it on the movie as well8-), still would want it in the same fabric though. I've seen the original y3 in an xl and the fabric is not very cotton like. Almost like a softshell for those of you familar with mountain wear.

  I agree, the tailored aspect of it is a big factor encouraging me to get one...
