–SPECIAL– “Yves Saint Laurent” 90’s-00’s Velvet tuxedo tailored jacket

From Yves Saint Laurent, who has brought the tension of tailoring to women’s styling and refined classic elegance with each era, we present an exceptional jacket where the poise of a tuxedo and the deep, luxurious texture of velvet beautifully overlap.

Crafted in black velvet that subtly suppresses shine while softly capturing light, this piece features a composition in which the pile is 100% cotton and the base fabric combines cotton and rayon. It is therefore far more than a simple black jacket, offering a rich sense of shadow and a supple drape.

The lapels, cuffs, and pocket flaps are accented with color-blocked sections in 100% wool. By creating differences in texture while keeping the same deep black, it evokes the context of a formal tuxedo jacket—yet also makes it easy to incorporate into everyday wear, producing a quiet, quietly radiant elegance.

The front is designed with a clean one-button closure. While it creates a natural, flattering fit at the waist, the shoulder-to-sleeve area retains a structured line, so when worn it beautifully refines the silhouette of the upper body. With a slightly shorter length, it pairs especially well as well: it won’t look heavy when styled with wide-leg bottoms or drapey skirts, allowing you to wear it with a modern sense of balance.

Particularly striking are the glossy black decorative buttons on the front, featuring flower-like, three-dimensional relief. Although the overall look is kept entirely in black, this discreet decorative element draws the eye to a single point. It’s not a loud statement—rather, it’s a dense detail that only truly communicates when seen up close. This understatedness is quintessential Yves Saint Laurent’s adult kind of glamour.

The interior is fully lined in cupro, allowing sleeves to slide smoothly. While it carries the substantial, weighty feel characteristic of velvet, its construction helps reduce wear-time stress. Another appeal is the indication that German-made fabric is used for the outer material. From the very choice of materials, this is a luxurious construction rarely seen in modern jackets.

As for the era, it is natural to view this as a domestic vintage from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, based on the Japanese former quality-label tag, the domestic management notations including C-TK83, the nameplate with the Yves Saint Laurent name, and a short care label that comes without a QR code or URL. While there are no explicit markings that let us pinpoint a specific season, the velvet texture and the wool material of the color-blocked sections make it an excellent choice for autumn and winter styling.

We particularly recommend it for those who want more than just a well-tailored look—those who wish to add a mode-like atmosphere through the sheen of the materials and the depth of black. It is ideal for anyone who wants to create presence through tailoring and texture rather than lavish embellishment. This is a piece that lets you enjoy, naturally within your everyday wardrobe, the sense of beauty Yves Saint Laurent cultivated—transforming masculine elements into women’s styling with elegance.

For styling, pairing it with slacks featuring center creases or a long skirt with a drapey feel will help preserve a refined look while adding a soft lingering impression. Even a simple blouse or a thin, lightweight cut-and-sew top as the inner layer is enough to make the outfit work. By adding a touch of shine with jewelry or leather accessories, you can finish a MOOD-like mode style that feels elegant yet can be enjoyed regardless of gender.

Please, take this opportunity.
