Amazing piece bought in Tokyo directly after the catwalk show in, we believe, 1973 only worn on the catwalk in Tokyo, in our archive collection ever since. The model number of the shirt is in Japanese, Made in Japan, Yamamoto Kansai Co Ltd. There is a little bit of moisture marking on the collar and inner neck label, a small staining to the right of the left pocket and an occasional light marking, otherwise both pieces are in amazing condition.
