Y1942 CHAMBRAY SHIRT
2026 SPRING SUMMER COLLECTION
DIRECTED BY YUTAKA FUJIHARA (BerBerJin)
A new era begins for BIG YANK as we welcome vintage specialist Yutaka Fujihara (BerBerJin) as Creative Director.
This debut collection elevates the brand’s heritage into a contemporary context, focusing on one of BIG YANK’s most legendary icons: the 1942 patented pocket, famously known as the "Yama-Poke."
BIG YANK | Y1942 CHAMBRAY SHIRT
The iconic BIG YANK "1942 CHAMBRAY," updated under the creative direction of Yutaka Fujihara.
THE APEX OF VINTAGE DETAIL
The 1930s and 40s were the era when BIG YANK’s unique identity was truly defined. This model is the ultimate chambray shirt, incorporating every patented innovation of that time: "STORM CUFFS," "ELBOW ACTION SLEEVES," the "CONVENIENT POCKET," and the "STRAIN-PROOF YOKE."
BALANCING AESTHETICS AND MOBILITY
By re-examining original vintage patterns, we’ve reconstructed a fit that balances authentic aesthetics with modern comfort. The unique silhouette—featuring extra room in the shoulders and a longer front hem relative to the back—ensures both ease of movement and a refined look.
AUTHENTIC SELVEDGE FABRIC
Crafted from rope-dyed indigo selvedge chambray that replicates the texture of the 1940s. The fabric molds to the body with wear, developing a deep, vintage-style patina over time.
Material: 100% Cotton (Selvedge Chambray)
Country of Origin: Japan
