"Christian Dior" 80's-90's Classically tailored longline double-breasted wool blazer

"Christian Dior Monsieur"
80s-90s classically tailored double-breasted wool blazer

From the men’s line Christian Dior Monsieur, launched by Christian Dior, a house that represents France, we would like to present a piece whose classic tailoring is truly exquisite.

Centered on the neat double-breasted front and sharply angled peak lapels, this piece is crafted with a longer body length and a structured shoulder line, resulting in a substantial presence quite unlike contemporary jackets.

The outer fabric is made of 100% wool. In the quality labeling, the wool composition is listed as 80% lamb and 20% Tasmania. The texture, with its gentle brushed feel and an appropriate level of weight, creates a deep, expressive look without compromising the contours of the tailoring. The color is an extremely deep dark tone close to black; depending on the way the light hits, subtle shading reminiscent of charcoal or deep navy appears, and the contrast with smoked antique-gold-toned buttons adds a calm, understated radiance.

The line flowing from the wide peak lapels toward the chest is powerful. At the chest, it features neat welt pockets (box pockets), and at the waist, flap pockets. With a comfortable amount of ease around the torso, the long line drops straight down to the hem, drawing a silhouette that balances refinement and presence. In addition, the front and cuffs are finished with metal-look buttons engraved with the CD, and the coordinated design details throughout highlight the luxurious mood that is distinctly Christian Dior Monsieur.

The interior is fully lined, and the smooth lining—made of 50% polyester and 50% cupro—has a CD monogram woven in, so you can enjoy comfort when wearing it, while also sensing the Maison’s aesthetic the moment you take the jacket off. Externally, it delivers precise tailoring, while internally it conceals an iconic motif; a composition that does not overstate decoration, yet lets the craftsmanship speak—this is one of the unique attractions of the piece.

Along with the woven label for Christian Dior Monsieur, which features white lettering on a black ground with double borders, plus the care pictograms in the former JIS format, as well as domestic men’s clothing size notations such as A-6 and 94-82-175, and the specifications for accessory materials typical of the period, this jacket bears the characteristics of the late 1980s through the 1990s. While retaining strongly the classic values held by men’s lines prior to Dior Homme, its balance naturally complements today’s styling—an added value that only a vintage piece can offer.

The listed size is A-6, corresponding to the old sizing standard for a standard height of 175 cm, chest 94 cm, and waist 82 cm. It combines the structured construction that makes the shoulders look refined with the ease in the body that also works well for layering. This is a piece you will want to have, whether you wish to bring classic menswear into daily life, or you want to enjoy a crisp, composed style regardless of gender—making the most of the longer body length and bold lapel balance that are not found in current items.

For styling, pairing it with high-gauge knitwear and wide slacks will create a well-ordered, refined mode look. Incorporating faded denim or a plain cut-and-sew top will also help gently temper the jacket’s substantial tailoring, elevating it into a wearable, everyday ensemble. In addition to fastening the buttons and enjoying the confident double-breasted silhouette, we also recommend wearing it open to showcase the lapel’s dimensionality and subtly reveal the lining.

On this occasion, please enjoy this vintage piece of Christian Dior Monsieur, where the tailoring that lets you feel the Maison’s history and the CD design are brought to life in every detail.
