"Christian Dior" 80's-90's Supple leather car coat

"Christian Dior MONSIEUR"
Late 80's-90's sheepskin leather car coat

From Christian Dior MONSIEUR, which translates Maison elegance into classic menswear, we are pleased to introduce a distinguished leather design piece.

Positioned in the men’s line prior to the birth of Dior Homme, this piece reflects an era distinct from today’s offerings—its substantial presence and bold color held within.

The outer fabric is made from supple lamb leather. With its deep, rich tone accented by the gentle, elegant sheen unique to leather, it creates a refined expression without becoming overly rugged. Designed from mid-length to long—reaching to around the thigh—with a straight, generously relaxed silhouette, it draws a confident outline simply by putting it on.

The front is crafted with a placket-like construction combining buttons and a metal zipper: when closed, it maintains a clean, streamlined face while also taking cold-weather protection into consideration. At the cuffs, it includes buttoned adjusters that allow you to fine-tune the fit—so the practical functionality typical of a car coat coexists with the precise balance that is unmistakably Christian Dior MONSIEUR.

Inside, a checkered lining is arranged with vivid orange as the focal point, interspersed with black, gray, ecru, and green tones. Thanks to the striking contrast with the calm exterior black, it lends a subtle touch of brilliance at the moment of putting it on and as the hem moves. In addition to its autumn-winter construction, which includes padding, the soft drape of the lamb leather also makes it easy to wear naturally over thick knits and jackets. Despite being marked size M, the silhouette offers a sense of room around the shoulders and in the body width.

Along with the “Christian Dior MONSIEUR” mention on the woven label, the Japanese quality indication tag lists Kanebo Company, Limited as the seller. Taking into account the distribution background up to around 1997—when the company’s licensing distribution ended—together with the succinct quality labeling and specifications such as the metal zipper, the details indicate that it was produced in the late 1980s to the 1990s.

The combination of an old tag that evokes the history of classic menswear lines, premium lamb leather, and an unexpectedly charming checkered lining makes this piece’s added value uniquely its own. It is recommended for those who want to enjoy the weight and richness typical of vintage while still finding a leather coat that can be incorporated into everyday dressing without strain—as well as for those who want an item that carries true individuality within a restrained exterior.

For styling, pairing it with high-gauge knitwear and wide slacks will highlight its precise contours. Incorporate faded denim and sweatshirts to translate the leather’s refinement into a modern casual look.

We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity.
