Description
Model History:
Tweed has been inseparable from the Chanel heritage since the 1950s, when Gabrielle Chanel decided to repurpose this masculine fabric to create comfortable and sophisticated clothing for women. Season after season, the house reinterprets this emblematic material through modern or revisited cuts. The Fall/Winter 2013 collection, under the artistic direction of Karl Lagerfeld, draws on this tradition by bringing clean lines and a contemporary look, faithful to the brand’s DNA. This long jacket perfectly illustrates this stylistic continuity.
External Details:
The exterior of the jacket is made of textured black tweed, with a dense and slightly curled appearance. The finishes are neat, with discreet topstitching and generous patch pockets at the front. The iconic silver metal buttons with the Chanel logo add a strong touch of identity. The structured straight cut hugs the bust and flares subtly towards the bottom, offering a fluid fall without rigidity. The long sleeves end with three buttons at the wrist, accentuating the visual coherence of the whole.
Interior Details:
The jacket is fully lined with flowing black silk (100% silk), guaranteeing optimal comfort to wear and perfect support for the silhouette. The interior has a clean and minimalist finish, in line with Chanel creations where quality is as present on the outside as on the inside. The logo label and the material label are sewn discreetly.
Product Condition:
This item is in very good condition. No tears, tears or stains to report. The buttons are all present and securely attached. The tweed retains its original density and texture, without particular signs of wear. The lining is intact and shows no rubbing or discoloration.
Care Tips:
It is recommended that the jacket be dry cleaned by a professional, ideally a dry cleaner specializing in luxury textiles and vintage clothing. For storage, use a suitable wide hanger to preserve the shape of the shoulders and avoid any deformation. Store away from direct light to avoid black fading.
