A/W 04 Reversible Tailored Jacket Black/Emerald

Relaxed cut tailored jacket in heavyweight wool gabardine. Features structured shoulders with padding, low cut notch lapels, flap side pockets, and reversible construction with rayon lining in deep green and bone ivory.

Masterclass in boxy tailoring from the A/W 2004 collection. While older Yohji tailoring with padded shoulders can look dated and hard to wear today, this piece has just the right structure for a look that asserts grounded presence. The lapels are cut low and the body and sleeve lengths are longer than usual, creating the impression of a 'dropped' silhouette that hangs from the body with a sense of ease. The reverse side features souvenir jacket style lining, but I personally think the real pleasure comes from the hints of the beautiful emerald green seen while wearing it normally.
