Description
Model History:
Under the artistic direction of Virgil Abloh (2018–2021), Louis Vuitton Homme explored a hybrid approach between luxury, heritage and street culture. Iconic pieces of the utilitarian wardrobe, such as the denim trucker jacket, have been revisited with couture codes and conceptual details. This jacket perfectly illustrates this period: a piece with a classic structure, on which the monogram is subtly integrated into the weaving, and not affixed in an ostentatious manner. This approach to discreet branding is characteristic of Virgil Abloh’s vision: to divert symbols while sublimating them, for a quieter reading of luxury.
External Details:
The black canvas, dense and rigid, highlights the LV monogram pattern woven into the material. The logos and flowers are visible in tone on tone, depending on the light, providing a subtle contrast. The jacket is structured with tone-on-tone stitching, a straight hem, and buttoned cuffs. The collar has a wide cut, with slightly beveled tips, with a curved base at the back – a construction detail that brings discreet singularity to the silhouette. The shiny black buttons, with their irregular shape, are reminiscent of polished mineral elements; their presence reinforces the sculptural and experimental aspect of the piece.
Interior Details:
The interior is unlined, allowing you to see the reverse of the woven pattern. A “Louis Vuitton Paris” label on a navy blue background with gold lettering is sewn on the left side. The finishes are clean and reinforced, demonstrating careful craftsmanship. The absence of lining preserves the legibility of the weave and good breathability of the fabric.
Product Condition:
The jacket is in new condition, with original label, never worn. It is accompanied by its Louis Vuitton storage bag, a rare item which attests to its provenance and good maintenance. No traces of wear, folds or defects are visible. The stitching, fabric and buttons are impeccable.
Care Tips:
It is recommended to have this jacket dry cleaned by a professional, in order to preserve the quality of the weave and the cotton/polyester blend. Avoid prolonged rubbing and store on a wide hanger to maintain the structure of the collar and shoulders.
Why Choose This Product:
This Louis Vuitton jacket in the Virgil Abloh era reflects a subtle mastery of quiet luxury. The tone-on-tone monogram weave, the classic cut enriched with refined details, the mineral-look buttons and the Italian manufacturing quality make it a piece that is both contemporary and durable. Delivered with its original cover, it constitutes a valuable acquisition for lovers of sober design, well-constructed pieces and emblematic creations of Virgil’s career at Louis Vuitton.
