"HERMÈS"
70's-80's Equestrian detailed wool tailored jacket

Founded in 1837 as a harness workshop, HERMÈS continues to carry forward exceptional craftsmanship and a refined sense of beauty, presenting a distinctive piece inspired by equestrian culture.

With calm tailoring at its core, this piece features three faceted, pyramid-shaped front hardware pieces that shine like jewelry, alongside triangular patches placed throughout—adding personality while maintaining an impeccable, composed presence.

The outer fabric is presented with a composition label indicating 100% wool, and its warm color tone evokes greige to taupe—creating a classical depth. Thanks to the understated contrast between gold-colored hardware and brown-toned contrasting fabric, the elegance remains refined rather than showy.

Against a structured shoulder with beautifully shaped shoulder seams, vertical paneling allows the waist to be gently contoured, resulting in a silhouette that presents the body’s lines neatly. The short-to-midd-length design that falls around the upper hip area makes it easy to balance with various bottoms, allowing it to blend naturally into modern styling.

On the left and right flap pockets and cuffs, triangular patches are placed, and a round gold hardware detail sits at the center of each—creating an accent that evokes the functional beauty of harness-making found in the Maison’s heritage. This is a design that clearly distinguishes itself from a traditional tailored jacket, and showcases HERMÈS’ signature wit.

Inside, a charcoal-toned striped lining is used, and according to the quality label, the composition is 98% acetate and 2% polyester—providing a smooth, comfortable feel with excellent sleeve glide. In addition, the red piping and stitching running along the interior are not conspicuously noticeable while worn; rather, they appear only when the garment is removed, offering a quiet sense of exhilaration as proof of meticulous tailoring.

Along with a square HERMÈS PARIS woven label featuring a carriage motif, the garment also shows simple care instructions in French and English, as well as an assortment of old-fashioned washing symbols and specifications for trims and materials. For these reasons, it is estimated to have been made from the 1970s through the mid-1980s—making it a rare vintage piece that vividly retains a sense of its era, distinct from today’s products.

We especially recommend this to those who would like to enjoy the Maison’s history not through direct logos, but through the beauty of its tailoring, hardware, and interior finishes. It is also well suited for anyone who wishes to incorporate a touch of playfulness into an elegant jacket style, offering both everyday practicality and value as a collection piece.

For styling, pairing it with black wide slacks or a polished long skirt will make the sculptural form of the hardware stand out. Alternatively, teaming it with denim and a light knit top allows you to translate the rich, weighty character unique to vintage into an urban, wearable look.

Please consider this opportunity.
