Description
Model History:
Iconic of the modernized classic style worn by Pierre Cardin through the decades, this blazer reflects a rigorous tailoring aesthetic softened by warm textile choices. The window check pattern, more minimal than the traditional Prince of Wales, gives the piece a graphic aspect here which finds an echo in current trends, where vintage tailoring is widely revisited in contemporary wardrobes.
External Details:
The 100% wool fabric, with a very fine herringbone weave, offers a beautiful visual texture and good hold. Orange and brick grid lines create a regular pattern, easy to pair with neutral or earthy tones. Finishes include notched lapels, classic flap pockets, brown buttons on the front and cuffs. The slightly loose straight cut allows for a fitted or deliberately loose fit depending on the desired style.
Interior Details:
The jacket is fully lined with beige satin printed “Pierre Cardin”. It has several functional interior pockets, including one buttoned. The composition label indicates size 48 and the material is 100% wool. As with many vintage pieces from the 80s and 90s, the words “Made in” are not present, which was common at the time. The typology of the labels and the general quality suggest European production under license, in accordance with the industrial standards of this period.
Product Condition:
The jacket is in very good condition. The fabric retains all its texture and structure, without stains or snags. The lining is clean and intact, the original buttons are securely sewn. No significant wear is to be reported.
Care Instructions:
Dry cleaning recommended. Keep the jacket hanging on a wide hanger to protect the shoulders. Avoid prolonged direct light to maintain the intensity of the beige tone and the sharpness of the pattern.
