Christian Dior MONSIEUR 90’s Double-breasted Mohair Blend Coat

Christian Dior MONSIEUR is a licensed line that incorporates the elegance of the maison’s homeland while translating it into everyday wardrobe pieces through Japanese planning and sewing techniques. Centered on impeccable tailoring, it emphasizes luxurious materials and comfort, making it attractive as a way to wear elegance without pretension. This time, we introduce a masterpiece where the use of beautiful materials elevates its value, including its sense of era.

This is a rare coat that is backed by information confirming the atmosphere of the late 1980s to early 1990s.

The outer fabric clearly states it contains 50% mohair within the wool, creating a long-haired, deep brushed texture on the surface, with the charcoal shade gently shifting depending on the light. The pattern is composed of checks but does not assert itself too strongly; from a distance, it appears solid and neat, and as you get closer, the weave’s expression becomes more apparent. The collar is large, allowing it to be worn up or down, and the double-breasted overlap creates a core for the front body, preventing the outline from collapsing even with a soft material. The buttons have a matte finish and are modestly placed, and the cuffs feature a turned-back design, keeping the overall weight distribution balanced and making the wearing action appear light. The lining is marked as 100% cupro, and a jacquard with the CD logo woven into the pattern can be visually confirmed, ensuring the presence remains until the moment it is taken off. The size label is L, indicating a design with the relaxed fit typical of that era.

As for the era, the item is marked with the number No. 0XD5007, and considering the management system where the leading digit indicates the last two digits of the year in domestic licensed apparel of that time, the 0 is a candidate. Excluding 1980 based on the modernity of the tag design, and also excluding 2000 due to the slim minimalism of the late Monsieur era, which differs from the double-breasted and relaxed balance, the most consistent period is around 1990. Additionally, the use of fabric with a strong brushed feel mixed with mohair aligns with the material preferences during the height of soft suit popularity at that time, and the all-over CD logo lining and luxurious blend ratio tell the story of the bubble era’s lingering influence.

The unique value of this piece lies in the convincing texture created by a 50% mohair blend and the perfection supported by a 100% cupro all-over patterned lining. The high blend ratio, difficult to realize with modern ready-to-wear due to cost, balances the shadow of the hair length and insulation, and the brand code extends to the inside, making it a masterpiece that allows you to vividly experience the luxury of that time just by wearing it.

In daily life, it naturally fits scenes where you want to elevate your outfit even on busy days, and it’s reliable in scenes like hotels and restaurants where you want to avoid excessive assertion but still retain elegance. The brushed texture adds depth to the outfit, allowing it to be completed without increasing the number of colors, quietly enhancing the wearer’s atmosphere.

For styling, pair a minimal shirt with neat slacks, and finish with leather shoes to naturally highlight the structure of the double-breasted design and the presence of the collar. Another idea is to combine a lightweight top with flowing pants to create vertical lines, where the shadow of mohair works in a mode, and the luxurious background of the era can be naturally updated as modern streetwear.

Definitely take this opportunity.
