"BURBERRYS Blue Label" 96's-99's Classical Detail Tailored Jacket

We are pleased to present a beautiful piece with a classical design from BURBERRY'S Blue Label, which is characterized by designs that combine Burberry's elegant image with an urban touch.

This exquisite jacket from Burberry's BLUE LABEL is made from a generous amount of deep black wool, with a clean, vertical silhouette and a neat tailored collar that creates an elegant look from any angle.

The old "Burberrys" logo and "BLUE LABEL" inscription on the tag reveal that this piece is a "transitional" product that existed for a very short period between 1996 and 1999, and can be said to be an item that captures the atmosphere of the late '90s, when Burberry was at the height of its popularity in Japan. Based on the classic worldview of the UK, the line was adjusted to suit the body types and urban sensibilities of the younger generation in Japan, and it is clear that it was carefully made for the Japanese market at the time.

The front has a simple button closure, and the moderately wide lapels create a clean look around the face, while the body is designed to fall straight from the shoulders to the hem, creating a beautiful I-line that suits any body type. The patch pockets are set slightly low at the waist, so they are in a natural position when you put your hands in them, making this a detail that combines practicality with a relaxed feel.

The fabric is a soft, brushed wool, characteristically thick yet soft to the touch. The buttons are subtly engraved with the brand logo, revealing a classic look upon closer inspection, giving the minimalist design the weightiness of a historic maison. The front and hem are also meticulously sewn, ensuring the fabric falls neatly even when worn open.

Looking inside, the iconic Nova check subtly peeks out from behind the black lining, a design that only asserts its "uniqueness" when putting it on or taking it off, or when the hem sways. The design, which is extremely chic on the outside, but hides the brand symbol only on the inside, can be said to symbolize the balance between "genuine quality" and "personal playfulness" that BLUE LABEL valued at the time.

Born in the late 1990s, when the end of the old logo and the beginning of a new BURBERRY intersected, this piece is more than just outerwear; it's also an archival piece that gives a real sense of the brand's transition. It's not a recognizable piece with a full Nova check, but rather a jacket that can be worn everyday, with the lining and details only hinting at the craze of the era, making it a special piece aimed at the younger generation in Japan at the time.

In terms of styling, pairing a simple knit with straight-leg slacks and leather shoes will create a dignified, urban look for both men and women.You can also wear it casually over a shirt or lightweight top with a few buttons open, for a more casual look that lets you see a glimpse of the Nova check lining.

Please take this opportunity.
