Product Insights
Y-3's Nylon Bomber Jacket offers an architectural A-line silhouette through broadened shoulders and tapered hem, crafted from matte nylon twill that drapes fluidly without bulk while resisting wrinkles and enhancing breathability for 10–20°C wear. Its oversized cut at ~900g allows chunky sweaters underneath, cinched by ribbed trims to prevent sloppiness, and asymmetrical sleeve and chest pockets add workwear edge. Priced at $895 CAD, significantly lower than comparables like Off-White, the jacket trades water resistance and pocket security for avant-garde design and easy care (machine washable).
