"Max Mara" 90’s-00’s Double-breasted virgin wool coat

Founded in 1951, Max Mara is supported by its design ability to elevate practicality into elegance without sacrificing functionality, maintaining a consistent aesthetic from material selection to impeccable tailoring. Among them, the silver tag is known as a lineage that enhances urbanity and functional beauty seamlessly integrated into daily life, offering a position where one can wear high quality without pretension. This time, we introduce an elegant black coat that embodies that atmosphere straightforwardly.

Centered on a streamlined double-breasted design, this exquisite piece features a beautifully structured collar rise and lapel, exuding a quiet yet powerful presence.

The outer fabric, made of 100% virgin wool, exudes density, and the matte black surface softly absorbs light, creating depth and maintaining elegance both from afar and up close. The double overlap at the front creates a backbone in the body, and when buttoned, the line falls straight, balancing a look that does not overly emphasize the body's contours but appears neat.

The collar is designed with a moderate size to tighten around the neck, and the lapel's restrained angle retains a classic strength while softening to blend with the city air. Diagonally placed pockets at the waist naturally position the hands, and the hem appears to fall between middle and long length, reducing sway during walking and making it practical for sitting on chairs without interference. The inside features a smooth lining, making layering comfortable and preventing the garment from feeling heavy.

A unique added value of this individual piece is the silver-gray satin fabric with a MaxMara embroidery tag, which is decisive. It clearly indicates that it is part of the urban main collection developed alongside the white tag. Furthermore, the quality information center notation and management code format seen on domestic circulation items are consistent with the system from the late 90s to early 2000s, providing a credible basis for estimating the era as roughly 1998 to 2004.

Overlaying the notation of 100% Lana vergine, the moist weight and resilience that are hard to achieve with recycled wool support the double-breasted structure over the long term. The fact that it can be received as a high-quality, everyday garment on par with so-called white tags, with materials and craftsmanship that do not fall behind, is a strength unique to the silver tag of this era.

In daily life, it is reliable for days with many commutes where you want to look neat, and in the city life of the season when the outside air gets colder. Buttoning up creates a streamlined silhouette, while unbuttoning adds a light looseness, making it a piece with a wide range of expressions even within the same black coat. Since the item itself speaks of quality without adornment, it naturally blends into scenes from extended work dinners to weekend museum visits, tightening the impression while blending in.

In terms of styling, pairing a minimal shirt with neat slacks to align the straight lines naturally brings out Max Mara's characteristic functional beauty. As another option, layering over a drape-y dress or long skirt, and finishing with leather shoes at the feet, creates depth through the double layering that stands out in mode, maintaining elegance even in movement.

Take this opportunity.
