Description
History of the Model: John Richmond, British designer anchored in the Italian fashion scene, is recognized for his aesthetic influenced by rock culture, contrasts and experimentation with materials. The “Bowie”, a direct nod to the iconic figure of glam rock, embodies this desire to merge tailoring and rebellious spirit. This type of jacket is part of a tradition of creations that revisit the formal codes of the men’s wardrobe with strong decorative elements, in line with the scenic silhouettes of the 70s and 80s. Exterior Details: The jacket is cut from smooth black wool, with an elegant matte finish. The contrasting black satin lapels are entirely decorated with tone-on-tone round and pyramid studs, adding a striking visual texture without overwhelming the overall look. The lines are clean, with a central slit at the back for greater ease. The cuffs are buttoned, and the overall construction reflects Italian precision in cut and proportion. Interior Details: The interior is lined in black cupro, a breathable and silky material of plant origin, entirely woven with the initials “JR” in tone on tone. There are several piped pockets, including one buttoned, as well as a woven “Bowie” label. The interior finishes are impeccable, with particular care given to the assembly and legibility of brand elements. Product Condition: The jacket is in very good condition. The exterior shows no tears, fading or warping of the fabric. The lining is clean and without noticeable marks. The studs are all present and securely attached, the stitching is intact, and the buttons are original. Maintenance Tips: Professional dry cleaning is essential to preserve delicate materials, particularly the satin cuffs and decorative elements. Avoid any prolonged pressure on the studs to maintain their alignment and fixation. Store on a wide hanger and in a breathable cover, protected from humidity. Why Choose this Product: This John Richmond jacket combines the rigor of Italian tailoring with a strong rock aesthetic, supported by strong visual details. Designed as a piece of character, it will suit those looking for an original alternative to the classic black jacket. Its careful construction, its noble material and its assertive finishes make it a unique, functional and expressive garment.
