-SPECIAL- “LOEWE” 70’s-80’s Perforated trim suede long jacket

“LOEWE” 70’s-80’s Perforated trim suede long jacket

Since 1846, LOEWE has evolved from a leather workshop in Madrid into a luxury house that has come to represent Spain, thanks to exceptional craftsmanship that brings out the inherent beauty of the materials themselves. We are pleased to present this exquisite suede jacket, a true showcase of leather craftsmanship—the very origin of the LOEWE brand.

Using sumptuously soft suede with a gentle napped texture, this piece features a continuous sequence of intricate perforated decorations from the collar through the lapels, the front placket, the hem, and the cuffs—refining rustic leather into precise, elegant tailoring.

First and foremost is the material use that takes advantage of suede’s naturally soft gradations. As the color deepens and lightens according to the direction of the pile, the leather itself creates a rich expression without the need for overly elaborate ornamentation. It is a finish that lets you feel, quite plainly, LOEWE’s long-honed understanding of leather.

The silhouette is a long balance that stretches the classic tailored jacket along the vertical axis. Subtle paneling that flows gradually from the shoulder to the chest, together with the vertical lines of the body, gives the overall outline a refined clarity while preserving the softness of the suede—an especially impressive point.

The collar features notch lapels with a suitably balanced width. Decorative leather trim is layered along the contour, with fine perforations applied throughout, creating depth that differs from conventional tailoring.

This perforated trim continues seamlessly from the front placket all the way to the hem, and the same motif is repeated at the cuffs. It is therefore more than a partial decorative element—it functions as a design code that connects the entire jacket as one. This is very much a LOEWE approach: incorporating meticulous leatherwork into the construction of the garment itself.

The front is styled with a flap pocket at the chest and a large flap pocket at the waist. While the overall configuration calls to mind practical workwear or safari jackets, the corners of the pockets and the lines of the flaps are designed with softness, preventing the look from becoming too rugged and instead achieving an elegant presence.

In addition, the cuffs are given a wider transition than on a typical jacket. Over this, the same perforated trim as on the main body runs horizontally. As a result, even when your arms are lowered, the decoration naturally comes into view, allowing you to appreciate the design coherence not only from the front but across your entire silhouette.

Regarding the年代, key clues are found in the LOEWE Madrid 1846 label with a red border and the “Made in Spain” marking on the inside, as well as the Spanish vintage tag managed by REF, MOD, TALLA, COLOR, and P.V.P. Taken together, these details allow us to view this as an old LOEWE piece from the late 1970s through the 1980s, particularly centered on the 1980s.

With the advent of the LOEWE anagram that connects to the present day, this jacket carries the atmosphere of the era when the Maison expanded ready-to-wear globally. At the same time, it extends the Spanish leather craftsmanship that lies at the core of the brand directly into the garment—another historical appeal unique to this piece.

While today’s LOEWE handles leather in a sculptural, experimental manner, this piece builds its design by stacking artisanal work step by step—material softness, stitching, perforations, and panel transitions. Even if expression shifts with the times, you can still feel the Maison’s consistent attitude of placing the leather itself at the center.

This is, of course, recommended for anyone searching for a classic leather jacket. It is especially suitable for those who want to incorporate a vintage-like decorative character while still having it blend naturally into everyday styling, and for those who wish to enjoy the craftsmanship of a different era from today’s LOEWE.

For styling, simply layering it over a shirt or a lightweight knit with wide slacks creates a polished look that highlights the presence of the material. And when paired with a long skirt or drapey trousers, you can retain the warmth of the suede while giving it a more genderless, mode-like impression.

It also works beautifully when worn over items with crisp, well-defined silhouettes—such as dresses or tailored set-ups. The perforated decoration becomes a well-balanced accent, allowing you to incorporate it as part of today’s luxurious style rather than recreating the vintage look exactly as it was.

With its soft suede, refined long silhouette, and leatherwork seamlessly completed as an integrated whole down to the smallest details, this piece is an archive-worthy item that lets you experience—very clearly—the deep understanding of leather cultivated over many years by the Maison LOEWE.

Please, take this opportunity.
