Description
History of the Model: The bomber jacket has its origins in 20th century military aviation, particularly during the Second World War. Revisited in the 80s and 90s by the major fashion houses, it became an emblematic piece of the urban men’s wardrobe. Valentino, an Italian house founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani, has often integrated this utilitarian form into its collections, enhancing it with noble materials such as lambskin, combining modernity and Italian know-how.
Exterior Details: The jacket features smooth and uniform olive green lambskin, with a soft drape that naturally follows the shape of the body. The officer collar, cuffs and belt are made of dark green ribbed knit, providing a subtle contrast in texture and ensuring comfortable support. The exterior pockets are positioned at an angle, closed by an angular leather flap, held in place by a concealed snap button. The two-way front zip is adorned with the Valentino signature, discreetly highlighting the identity of the piece. The clean finishes and precise cut reflect careful tailoring, faithful to the standards of the Italian house.
Interior Details: The interior lining is made of midnight blue cotton and polyamide, offering a soft feel and good breathability. Two interior pockets are present, lined with leather edging matching the exterior, highlighting the attention paid to the finishes. A white “Valentino Made in Italy” label is sewn at the bottom right, while a black leather insert marked Valentino is discreetly placed inside the collar.
Product Condition: The jacket is in very good condition. The leather is uniform, without noticeable scratches or stains. The ribbing is clean and shows no deformation or pilling. The zip works perfectly. The interior is also well preserved, with no tears or discoloration. The whole shows moderate use and careful conservation.
Maintenance Tips: Lambskin requires special care: it is recommended to have the jacket cleaned by a leather professional. Avoid prolonged contact with water and direct heat sources. To preserve the shape, hang it on a wide hanger and store it away from light. A special nourishing leather balm can be applied occasionally to maintain suppleness.
Why Choose this Product: This Valentino jacket embodies the balance between functionality and discreet refinement. It is aimed at lovers of high-end pieces, looking for a timeless garment, made in Italy with an impeccable level of finish. Its supple lambskin, minimalist bomber cut and careful interior details make it a relevant choice for enriching a men’s wardrobe with an authentic and durable piece.
