-SPECIAL- "GUCCI" 90s Tom Ford Design Suede Tailored Jacket

Among Italian luxury brands, Gucci, which has coexisted with the neatness derived from equestrian gear and sensuality on the same screen, presents a special masterpiece.

As a technique to bring out the gloss of Tom Ford's tailoring in the late 1990s even more, this masterpiece is called a classic that incorporates leather and suede into the "jacket grammar."

The deep nap softly absorbs light, and the suede material subtly shifts in shadow depending on the viewing angle, adding density to the outfit.

The surface is moist and smooth, with a fine grain that can be felt upon touch, making it not look monotonous despite being plain, and leaving only a sense of high quality as its outline.

The design is based on traditional tailoring but skillfully balances softness, with the neat lines of the notched lapel layered with the practical expression of patch pockets, creating a natural connection between everyday gestures and luxury.

The front has a single-breasted two-button design, creating a clean surface from the chest to the waist, and the volume characteristic of suede does not overly assert itself, making the wearer's body line look beautiful.

The cuffs are lined with five buttons, neatly converging towards the wrist, so even with brushed material, the outline does not loosen, and the movement of the arms appears elegant.

The back features a center seam and a yoke near the hem, creating tension in the surface, and structurally avoiding the "flat appearance" of suede, which is a unique value of this piece.

Additionally, since it has a lining, it is easy to put on and take off even when layered with innerwear, which is a pleasing point as the movement of the sleeves is smooth and complete.

Regarding the background, based on the information provided, the design of the horizontally long GUCCI tag with white serif embroidery on a black background, the domestic agency notation "K.K. Gucci Group Japan," and the context of Gucci in the late 1990s, which was symbolized by "making suede work through tailoring," all align. Therefore, it is highly likely that this product is from the late 1990s, during Tom Ford's era (around 1996–1999).

It can be said to be a masterpiece where the era's aesthetic quietly resides, elevating sex appeal not by exaggerating sensuality but through the gloss of the material and the neatness of the silhouette.

Styling-wise, pairing a shirt with a concealed placket or minimal front with pleated slacks, highlighting the shadow play of the material through straight lines, looks beautiful. Alternatively, layering over a long skirt with a relaxed drape and tightening the overall silhouette with a tailored line is also recommended.

By choosing high-quality leather shoes for your feet, you can seamlessly connect the urban sophistication of Tom Ford's era.
