–SPECIAL– “HERMÈS” 80’s-90’s Leather trimmed wool tailored jacket

From HERMÈS, which has carried forward the art and refined aesthetic of working with leather from its origins in harness-making into everyday dress, we present a leather-detailed piece of exceptional beauty.

On a wool body with delicately textured weave patterns, this piece pairs a brown leather collar and elbow patches, harmonizing precise tailoring with the warmth of its thoughtfully selected materials.

The era can be inferred by the natural-colored brand tag featuring the carriage and attendants in large detail, the “Made in France” indication arranged vertically along the side, and a concise quality label printed in both French and English—together with the shoulder construction and the waist-slimming tailoring—suggesting the 1980s to the 1990s.

First to catch the eye is the switch to brown leather for the upper collar that frames the neck, paired with a lapel design that continues into the chest using the same wool as the body. With the leather’s gentle sheen and the wool’s fine texture placed side by side, the collar’s outline is beautifully accentuated, adding a natural touch of radiance around the face.

The leather edges are finished with meticulous stitching, clearly defining even the angles at the collar tips. This sense of luxury comes from the way the material’s appeal is tied directly into the jacket’s structure—inviting you to savor the details.

The outer fabric is made entirely of wool, with subtle gradations of gray that create a sense of depth. The vertically flowing weave pattern keeps the body lines looking crisp, while the restrained color palette still offers rich variation—allowing you to appreciate the delicacy up close and the poise when viewed as a whole.

The silhouette clearly defines the shape of the shoulders, gently tapers toward the waist, and then softly widens into the hem. Even in the wearing photo, the curves from the back to the waist are beautifully expressed; the jacket’s form neatly contains both the poised impression around the shoulders and the supple line of the body. With a slightly longer length and a two-button placement, the overall vertical balance is well composed.

A fine leather trim borders the opening of the waist pockets, and the brown featured on the collar is repeated across the body as well—creating a consistent overall unity. The chest pocket is finished with the same fabric, and you can sense a careful aesthetic in how the distribution balances the areas that highlight the leather against those that showcase the weave more broadly.

What truly makes this jacket special is the boldly placed, vertically elongated elbow patch at both elbows. The rounded shape that wraps the elbow, along with the switching seam lines that run along the sleeve’s stitch lines, means the leather is integrated naturally into the sleeve’s structure. In addition to the front collar and pockets, the leather’s character is also visible from the side and from the back, allowing you to enjoy the design from every angle.

The same brown leather is also used around the buttonholes at the cuffs, adding a small accent alongside the light-toned buttons. By connecting different locations—upper collar, waist pockets, elbows, and cuffs—through one material and creating a consistently expressed detailing throughout, this jacket offers a unique added value.

Inside, a thin striped lining spreads through the interior, while red piping along the facing creates a vivid line. When you open the jacket, the expression shifts from the calm tones of the exterior to a lighter burst of color, adding enjoyment to the time you wear it. With interior pockets featuring buttons and even a side vent at the back, it is a piece where you can appreciate both the outward form and the careful finishing of the inner construction.

Another reason we would love you to take this piece home is that you can experience the background of HERMÈS—whose origins lie in harness-making—through the character of the leather incorporated into the garment. For those drawn to the way the materials are combined and the beauty of the silhouette from every angle, this jacket is the piece MOOD would like to deliver, so you can feel the joy of wearing it day to day.

For styling, pairing it with a shirt and roomy slacks and finishing with leather shoes highlights the structure around the shoulders and the waist line, letting you enjoy a well-tailored look that is not defined by gender. If you combine it with a blouse or a pleated skirt, a soft sense of motion will be added to the leather’s presence, allowing you to carry the classic mood in a lighter, more effortless way. We invite you to cultivate your own elegance with this distinctive jacket alongside familiar pieces.

We hope you’ll take this opportunity.
