relaxed cut coat in super heavyweight cowhide. features a double breasted front, flap side pockets, and a quilted fill interior lining.
notes
an absolute tank from early '90s y's for men, loosely referred to in vintage circles as a 'le corbusier' named after the architect and the early 1900's french leather jackets that he was known to wear. boxy shape with slightly shorter sleeves, which lends well to wear with gloves in harsh winter temperatures. if you have long arms you may struggle with this one. while you can embrace the wear that it already has and keep breaking it in as is, i'd recommend treating it with some leather care products or taking it to a leather specialist for refurbishing as it simply would be a shame not to restore and enhance the rich life it already has. while super heavy and rigid, it should develop and mold to the wearer with enough time. some of the button threads have come loose, and while still functional they'd be best to repair. i think this piece can be a fun project, kind of like buying and restoring an old car. exceptionally rare vintage masterpiece. recommended for size medium or large.
