VALENTINO GARAVANI MEN'S 80s-90s Cashmere Blend Tailored Coat

VALENTINO GARAVANI UOMO is a men's line that embodies Valentino's aesthetic sensibility, translating refined elegance into everyday wear. It emphasizes the beauty of contours over flamboyance, skillfully creating dignity through small design details like shoulder lines and collar angles, quietly enhancing the wearer's presence. Today, we introduce a piece that allows you to enjoy this classic with the finest tailoring, showcasing outstanding structured tailoring.

This is a masterpiece of a coat that is confirmed to be a GFT-crafted piece.

The expression shows a smooth, densely brushed texture, creating deep shadows depending on the light, leading to an impression of depth despite appearing monochrome. The wide lapel creates a natural focal point at the chest, and the clean front placket with minimal decoration makes the overall look sharper. The shoulders are well-structured, and the long length from the body to the hem emphasizes vertical lines when worn, also presenting a beautiful back view. The presence of pockets at the waist is visually confirmed, and multiple buttons on the cuffs indicate meticulous design extending to the hands. The interior reveals a smooth lining, ensuring smooth dressing and undressing.

Regarding its authenticity, the paper tag attached to the inner pocket with green lined paper, listing management items like COMMESSA and TESSUTO, is decisive. This specification is commonly confirmed in Italian-made prêt-à-porter of the same era as GFT's production management tags. Furthermore, since GFT was dismantled in the early 2000s, the presence of this tag physically confirms manufacturing after the 2000s, and the lowercase serif woven name "valentino garavani" matches the classic signature from the era when the designer was in charge. The luxurious material composition of 70% wool and 30% cashmere reflects the prosperity of the period, making the late 1980s to early 1990s the most consistent range.

The unique value of this piece lies in the three-dimensionality created by GFT's tailoring and the convincing texture produced by 30% cashmere, which simultaneously coexist. Designed so that a beautiful surface rises from the shoulders to the chest immediately upon wearing, contrasting with the quiet appearance on the hanger, the material's smoothness and weight support this outline, naturally exuding a sense of elegance that is hard to achieve with mass-produced coats. Additionally, the discreet woven name tag from an era when logos were subtle enhances its appeal, conveying a sense of classicism to those who understand, making it a truly finished piece.

In everyday life, it blends seamlessly as a business overcoat, and in slightly nicer restaurants or hotels, it maintains dignity without making a statement. Because it can be worn without overdoing it, those with simpler wardrobes can achieve a complete look quickly, and just draping it over your shoulders makes your posture look more polished.

Styling-wise, pairing a clean shirt with neat slacks and finishing with leather shoes highlights the beauty of GFT's structured design. Another option is to combine minimal knit polos or lightweight tops with flowing pants, creating a lightness characteristic of Italian UOMO, allowing the classic to naturally function in modern city settings.

Take this opportunity.
