-SPECIAL- “HERMES” 80’s-90’s Herringbone linen suit set

Founded in 1837 as a harness workshop, and guided by the craftsmanship of artisans, Hermes presents a linen tailoring masterpiece that lets you enjoy the beauty of its materials and tailoring quietly.

Layered with fine herringbone detailing over natural beige linen, this piece unites a poised sense of structure with a light, effortless material feel.

The fabric is clearly labeled as 100% linen for quality purposes, offering a soft sheen within a dry, tactile texture. Although it appears to be monochrome from a distance, up close you can see the delicate texture of herringbone weave emerge—adding depth you cannot find in plain set-ups.

The jacket is a single-breasted, two-button design with notch lapels. Its slightly longer hem and structured shoulder area give the linen material an urban silhouette. The chest is finished with welt pockets, and at the waist there are horizontally aligned pockets as well—keeping the decoration restrained while preserving the refined poise of tailoring.

The dark brown buttons on the front have a deep tone with a hint of transparency, imparting quiet composure to the natural fabric. The same design motif is carried through to the four buttons at the cuffs. Because the buttons do not feature large logos, the weave of the material and the lines of the tailoring stand out—connecting to Hermes’ signature understated elegance.

The pants are also tailored in herringbone linen, matching the jacket, with belt loops and buttoned pockets. The result is a straight, efficient silhouette. When worn together as a set, while retaining linen’s characteristic lightness, a continuous line is created from the shoulders to the hem—revealing a level of completeness that differs from wearing the pieces separately.

The quality label indicates 100% rayon for the lining, size 46, Drop 8 R, and Made in Italy. We describe the era as the 1980s to the early 1990s; this is an estimate based on a combination of the specifications on the main label, the Italian production-control tag, and the tailoring structure reminiscent of that period. Rather than treating only the trailing 85 in the code 314510HK.85 as the year, we set the range by layering multiple physical pieces of evidence.

Considering Hermes’ background rooted in its harness workshop origins, this set-up is not a design that directly expresses harnesses or logos. Instead, it is the type of set-up that conveys distinction through well-chosen materials with practicality and impeccably finished tailoring. As part of MOOD’s special collection, it offers added value not only in the jacket but also in the matching pants made from the same material—especially recommended for those who want to enjoy essential quality without overstating the brand.

For styling, wearing the set-up as is with a well-tailored shirt and leather shoes will naturally highlight the structured shoulders and the herringbone texture. Worn alone with dark slacks or a lightweight knit can keep the linen’s airy lightness while creating a more urban impression. The pants are equally beautiful paired with a simple shirt or a compact jacket, making this set-up a refined piece suitable for daily wardrobes regardless of gender. We invite you to take this opportunity.
