Description
History of the Model: Originally launched as military clothing, the pea coat was adopted in civilian wardrobes from the mid-20th century. The house of Chanel, known for revisiting classic pieces with a sophisticated touch, integrated the pea coat into its men’s collections in the 2000s, offering an elegant and functional version of this iconic coat. This 2007 interpretation, under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld, illustrates the balance between heritage and modernity that Chanel has established in its men’s line. Exterior Details: The navy blue wool has a discreet raised weave, providing a subtle visual texture. The cut is straight, with a wide lapel collar and a double-breasted buttoning typical of the pea coat, decorated with star-shaped metal buttons bearing the “CC” logo. The four flap pockets sewn on the front add both volume and practicality. The cuffs have adjustable button tabs, reinforcing the military inspiration of the model. The back is structured with two vertical cutouts extended by decorative button tabs. Interior Details: The interior is lined with black silk with tone-on-tone camellia patterns, emblems of the house of Chanel. This lining, made of 86% silk and 14% elastane, ensures comfort and flexibility to wear. The whole thing is fully lined, including the sleeves, guaranteeing optimal thermal insulation while preserving the fluid line of the coat. Product Condition: The peacoat is in very good condition, with no major visible defects. The buttons are intact, the stitching is solid, and the interior lining has no tears or stains. The garment retains its shape and color perfectly. Care Instructions: Professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the quality of the wool and the delicacy of the silk lining. Storage should be done on a wide hanger in a dry place, away from direct light. Avoid hanging heavy objects in the pockets to avoid distorting the cut. Why Choose this Product: This vintage Chanel peacoat for men represents a rare piece in the house’s men’s wardrobe, combining functionality, comfort and discreet refinement. It will suit lovers of high-end vintage clothing looking for a structured, signature, and timeless coat. Its provenance, its time of creation and the finesse of its details make it a relevant choice to enrich a collection or complete a classically inspired wardrobe.
