To find the best "top" (shirts/jackets) in these markets, follow these local shopping strategies: Tips for Affordable Shopping in Japan
- Integrated Posture Collar: The collar section rises 4.5 inches above the clavicle, forcing the wearer’s chin up. It features a D-ring at the back (for leash attachment) and a locking buckle at the throat.
- Asymmetrical Zipper System: Most jackets zip up the front. The YMD 86 11 zips from the left hip to the right armpit. This off-set design prevents the wearer from lying flat on their stomach and restricts access to the zipper pull, requiring a partner for removal.
- Arm Binder Wings: The sleeves are not separate. Instead, the "Top" functions as a monoglove. When the arms are inserted, the excess rubber folds over the hands, creating a "hoof" or "stump" effect. The YMD 86 11 improves upon earlier models by including internal finger stalls that are sewn shut—allowing grip texture without digit separation.
- Thoracic Lattice: Across the chest and back are reinforced rubber lattice strips (2cm wide). These are not decorative; they allow for rope or strap routing without damaging the main sheet of latex.
