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

On the wool body featuring a delicately textured weave, brown leather is paired for the collar and elbow patches, harmonizing crisp tailoring with warm, inviting materials.

Dating this jacket: the natural-colored brand tag features a prominently woven motif of a carriage and attendant; the “Made in France” marking is placed vertically along the side; and concise quality information in French and English is shown alongside the construction at the shoulders and a silhouette shaped through the waist. We estimate it to be from the 1980s to the 1990s.

The first thing that draws the eye is the collar—surrounding the neckline, it is switched to brown leather. The lapels continuing into the chest are designed using the same wool as the main body. With the leather’s understated sheen and the weave’s delicate surface texture set side by side, the collar outline stands out beautifully, adding a natural touch of radiance around the face.

Along the leather edges, stitching is meticulously applied, clearly defining even the angles of the collar tips. It is a craftsmanship that connects the allure of the materials to the jacket’s structure, offering a luxurious pleasure in the details.

The outer fabric is made from 100% wool, with a subtle play of darker and lighter grays that creates depth and character. The vertically flowing weave pattern presents the lines of the body cleanly, adding rich variation even within a calm color palette—allowing you to enjoy the delicacy when viewed up close, and the refined balance when seen as a whole outfit.

The silhouette clearly defines the shoulders, gently tapers toward the waist, and then softly flares at the hem. In the wear image, the curve flowing from the back to the waist is rendered beautifully. The jacket gathers a composed impression around the shoulders and the supple line of the body into a single, cohesive form. A slightly longer length and the placement of two buttons create a restrained vertical proportion—an elegant balance.

At the mouth of the waist pockets, a slim leather edge is applied. Repeating the same brown used at the collar on the body brings a sense of unity throughout. The chest pockets are finished in the self fabric, and even the distribution—where leather stands out versus where the woven texture is given more space—reflects careful aesthetic sensibility.

What makes this piece truly special are the bold, vertically elongated elbow patches placed on both elbows. Thanks to the rounded shape that wraps around the elbow and the dividing lines that follow the sleeve seams, the leather is naturally integrated into the sleeve’s construction. In addition to the front collar and pockets, the leather’s presence can also be seen from the side and from the back, making it a finish that lets you appreciate the design from any angle.

The buttonholes at the cuffs are also framed with the same brown leather, adding a subtle accent alongside light-toned buttons. By using one material to connect distinct areas—the upper collar, waist pockets, elbows, and cuffs—this is the added value unique to this jacket, where a consistent expression is crafted all the way to the smallest details.

Inside, a lining with fine stripe detailing is spread throughout, and red piping along the facing draws a vivid line. When you open the jacket, the look transforms from the calm, composed palette on the outside to a lighter splash of color, adding enjoyment to the moments of putting it on. With inner pockets featuring buttons and even a side vent at the back, this is a piece where both the shaping visible from the front and the tailoring inside can be appreciated with equal care.

Another reason to choose this jacket is that you can enjoy the heritage of HERMÈS—originating from harness-making—through the expressive character of the leather integrated into the garment. For those drawn to the beauty of the material combinations and the elegance of the back view, this jacket is MOOD’s offering: a piece that brings the joy of wearing it in everyday life.

For styling, pair it with a shirt and relaxed slacks and add leather shoes—this highlights the structure around the shoulders and the waistline, allowing you to enjoy a refined look that is not bound by gender. Combine it with blouses or pleated skirts to add soft movement to the presence of the leather, and to infuse the classic atmosphere with even greater lightness. This is a jacket with which you can cultivate your own kind of elegance alongside familiar wardrobe staples.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
