–SPECIAL– "GIORGIO ARMANI" 90’s Borgonuovo 21 pinstripe fly front long coat

Since its founding in 1975, GIORGIO ARMANI has established elegance through material and volume while stripping away unnecessary decorations, and here we introduce a superb piece preserved with the atmosphere of the era itself.

Made of lightweight wool with delicate pinstripes on a black background, with a concealed placket that keeps the expression extremely quiet, this piece exudes the dignity of BORGONUOVO 21.

First, the collar has a neat lapel that smoothly falls onto the chest, and the relaxed three-dimensionality from the shoulders to the body clearly conveys the beauty of so-called unconstructed design. The vertical stripes guide the eye downward, making the body lines appear elongated the moment you wear it.

The front features a concealed placket that hides the buttons, prioritizing the continuity of the surface, so even with a patterned fabric, it does not make a loud impression, and only the neatness as an air of subtlety remains, which is the strength of this piece.

The inside is neatly lined with cupro, preventing the fabric from catching when worn, and the supple thin wool directly connects to movement, maintaining a balanced feel that does not easily seem heavy despite the long length.

The very deep center vent on the back is symbolic, as it naturally opens when walking, creating a movement line where the stripes sway and return, making the coat quietly dramatic in its gestures, and it also shows that the vertical fall when viewed from the back is carefully calculated.

Since it is made of lightweight wool, in winter it is especially beautiful not as a thick outerwear but as a light coat casually worn at seasonal boundaries, and the volume design prevents it from looking bulky even when layered with knitwear or jackets. The ease of putting it on and taking it off in scenes with indoor-outdoor temperature differences is a major charm for everyday use.

The reason it can be considered from the early to mid-1990s is primarily because the main label bears the inscription GIORGIO ARMANI A MILANO BORGONUOVO 21, and additionally, the manufacturer VESTIMENTA SPA is listed, with the domestic tag showing a D-TK number and an old notation system, and the management sheet remaining printed with a dot matrix, clearly differing from the simplified tag specifications after the 2000s, making it highly credible as an item from around 1992 to 1997.

Viewed as a special collection of MOOD, the value of this coat lies in choosing the classic pinstripe while not showing off its structure, but instead winning with volume and material, and as demonstrated by the combination of BORGONUOVO 21 and VESTIMENTA, it is decisively equipped with the process and atmosphere of the golden age, as well as documentary qualities.

In terms of styling, simply aligning the lines with neat slacks and a plain shirt brings out Armani's aesthetic, and if you want to add a little mood, pairing it with a minimal dress or a skirt with a drape creates a more beautiful movement of the vent. If you want to tighten the texture, adding leather bottoms or slim boots creates an urban tension within the quietness.

Definitely take this opportunity.
