"GIORGIO ARMANI" Large Collar Draped Lamb Leather Jacket

With the concept of aiming for perfection and continuously creating clothing and accessories that transcend fashion, this philosophy has transcended generations.

We proudly introduce a beautifully tailored piece from the ever-loved GIORGIO ARMANI.

This is a leather jacket that elevates the material itself to “tailoring” with the highest-tier black tag of GIORGIO ARMANI.

First and foremost, the beauty of the expression achieved with Spanish lamb leather is notable. The fine-grained leather softly absorbs light, making the piece appear three-dimensional without losing depth despite its black color, and the calm surface stands out. The use of 100% silk for the lining reflects the cost-consciousness typical of black tags from this era, and the smoothness and skin feel upon wearing elegantly counteract the weight usually associated with leather.

The design directly reflects Armani's philosophy, known as the “Emperor of Jackets,” emphasizing a concept that creates elegance through lines that follow the body rather than stiff linings. The drape created by the large collar balances the formal beauty of tailoring with the fluidity of a cardigan, explaining why it leaves a strong impression even without decorative elements. The front closure uses a minimal snap structure, choosing to emphasize functionality over hardware, which is characteristic of Armani's minimalistic luxury. Additionally, a banded stitch runs along the cuffs, adding rhythm to the leather surface and serving as a subtle handcrafted detail.

The reliability of the estimated age is high, and the notation by the Japanese代理店 as "Giorgio Armani Japan Co., Ltd. / 5 Sanbancho, Chiyoda-ku" aligns with the notation before the company moved to Ginza, confirming that this piece is from before 2007. Furthermore, the use of a paper tag with the Borgonuovo notation, seen on the original tag, matches the format common in the late 90s to early 2000s with black tags, allowing us to classify it as an archive from the late 90s to around 2003.

Styling is best achieved by pairing high-quality shirts or minimal cut-and-sew pieces with relaxed-fit slacks, making only the collar drape the main feature for a neat look. Alternatively, layering a supple dress or long skirt to create a contrast between “structure and fluidity” naturally embodies Armani's aesthetic.

Take this opportunity.
