"VALENTINO GARAVANI BOUTIQUE" Late 80’s - Early 90’s soft-structured birdseye wool tailored jacket

Since its founding, VALENTINO GARAVANI BOUTIQUE has continued to update elegance based on the spirit of haute couture, and we are pleased to introduce a beautiful piece that embodies refined craftsmanship with an intellectual ease.

From a distance, it appears as a deep-toned gray, but as you approach, the delicate weave becomes more apparent, revealing a textured expression.

First and foremost, the densely woven bird's eye textile, which does not feel fuzzy, creates a nuanced shadow with fine intersections of white and black threads, offering versatility similar to plain fabric while exuding a certain dignity. The subdued sheen unique to 100% wool appears beautifully on the surface, and when exposed to light, it does not shout but remains quietly luxurious, clearly demonstrating the value of high-quality ready-to-wear from this era.

The silhouette is designed with a structurally tailored shoulder line and a relaxed body, maintaining the neatness expected of a jacket while avoiding stiffness. The lapel is moderately wide, and the low placement of the first button creates a deep V-zone, subtly infusing a period-appropriate mood within a classic framework, which is also attractive.

The chest pocket is modest, and the waist features a large but not overly bulky flap pocket, ensuring practicality while lowering the visual center of gravity, making it easy to match with modern outfits and maintaining a calm presence.

The front is designed to close with multiple buttons, so when opened, the soft vertical fall stands out, and when fastened, the surface becomes more structured, leaning towards a dressier impression. This versatility allows you to adjust your look according to mood and occasion, naturally fitting into the concept of luxury as an extension of daily life that MOOD values.

Looking inside, the lining features a shadowed weave pattern with the brand's V motif, which contrasts with the restrained exterior pattern, quietly fulfilling the joy of ownership. Furthermore, the buttons are engraved with VALENTINO, extending pride even to less visible parts, and the convincing vintage appeal built from these details adds unique value to this piece.

The reason for considering the era as late 1980s to early 1990s is largely due to the manufacturer number printed on the care label, 商-OS-342, which is linked to the business code approved by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry at the time, indicating that it was produced on a manufacturing line affiliated with Seibu Department Store, which held the highest domestic Valentino license. Additionally, the details such as the woven label with "BOUTIQUE" notation, the deep V-zone, low first button placement, and the structural shoulder and body margins, all characteristic of that period, ensure credibility not just through impression but also through the consistency of details.

Styling-wise, by layering over high-quality shirts or minimal cut-and-sew pieces to keep the contours clean, and using relaxed-fit slacks to create vertical lines, you can achieve a balance of elegance and a lingering sense of mode. When changing your mood, adding a thin knit for depth and finishing with leather shoes or neat boots on your feet will give you a quietly strong presence that transcends gender.

Take this opportunity without hesitation.
