–SPECIAL– "LOEWE"2010’s-20’s wrap-front shawl collar tuxedo jacket

From LOEWE, which continues to translate craftsmanship cultivated as a leather maison into modern silhouettes and genderless aesthetics, we present an exquisite masterpiece.

Introducing an exquisite piece that softly reconstructs the most neat form of a tuxedo.

First, what attracts is the beauty of the large arc drawn by the shawl collar, which, unlike the sharpness of typical tailored lapels, flows smoothly from the neck to the chest, relaxing the overall tension of the outfit and guiding the gaze upward. Additionally, because a fabric with a gloss is used for the collar, it eliminates excessive decoration while creating shadows with every movement, leaving only elegance—this is a strength unique to this piece.

The most significant design philosophy is replacing the traditionally buttoned tuxedo with a wrap style that is tied with a ribbon. Since the act of fastening becomes variable rather than fixed, the tightness at the waist and the overlap of the front panels adapt to the wearer's physique and mood of the day, creating different expressions with each drape. This clearly embodies Jonathan Anderson's Loewe era concept of not only preserving tradition but also designing including the wearer's mannerisms.

While the front is minimally styled, the deep design of the meeting lines is carefully planned so that even the slight peek of the inner is calculated, leaving a clean vertical line typical of a tuxedo, yet landing in an atmosphere that does not feel stiff. Moreover, the details of the pockets and chest are subdued, making the form and material shadows the main focus, resulting in a quiet luxury that sets it apart.

The embossed leather patch with an anagram on the upper back also significantly enhances the added value of this jacket. Instead of prominently displaying the logo on the front, it subtly proves it at the center of the back view, maintaining anonymity while indicating a definite origin, directly linking to the elegant and mode-leaning approach to creating space that MOOD values. Additionally, the choice of leather for the patch immediately communicates Loewe's roots in leather, giving it a finished quality that seems to sew the maison's DNA into the world of tailoring.

Since the material is a blend of polyester and wool, it maintains the dignified fall of wool while acquiring modern practical values such as wrinkle resistance and shape stability, allowing you to handle the tension of a tuxedo in daily life as well as on special days, making this piece a special item. The design suggests a smooth glide on the reverse side as well, giving a sense of it fitting along the body the moment you wear it.

The age range is judged to be from around 2016 to 2022, mainly because it includes the current logo main label that was renewed after 2014, and the care label specifications including the LVMH Fashion Group Japan notation, clearly ruling out the possibility of it being an item from before 2014.

This exquisite piece is especially recommended for those who want to bring the symbol of formal wear into everyday wardrobe or those who want to build their style around a neatness that is not bound by gender, and it is perfect for those who want to subtly highlight their contours even in formal settings. Instead of wearing a tuxedo, you can pick it up with the feeling of wearing the concept of a tuxedo.

In terms of styling, pairing a minimal shirt or a neat top with high-quality slacks to create a vertical line naturally elevates the wrap's drape as the main feature, and finishing with leather shoes or boots at the feet smoothly connects elegance and mode boundaries. Furthermore, by shifting the inner to a cut-and-sew or lightweight top, you can incorporate the beauty of the structured jacket into everyday warmth, making it versatile across seasons.

Take this opportunity.
