The KAZUYA YOSHII & New Manual KY-NM CLONE DENIM JACKET was very warmly received upon the recent announcement of its release. It has been created based on a 1950s vintage denim jacket owned by Kazuya Yoshii himself. At the point that he obtained the item, there were already traces of it having been lovingly worn by the previous owner with padding added at the sides. He removed that padding to restore its original shape and wore it himself from there on. This resulted in a blending of the aging from the past owner with further changes added by Mr. Yoshii’s own use, creating an utterly unique and precious item. This collaboration involved the careful measuring and verifications of every part of that denim jacket, and then the recreation of long years of wear and gradual changes. New Manual has now taken the KY-NM CLONE DENIM JACKET and reworked every single point from our own unique perspective. The concept for this product has been to create something that looks like Kazuya Yoshii himself has already been using it for ten years—and that has now become a New Manual IRREGULAR.

Note: The New Manual original tag around the neck is printed with the signature of Kazuya Yoshii himself. It also has a collaboration name label tucked inside the front, with each New Manual original label individually stamped with "for KAZUYA YOSHII."
