-SPECIAL- "GUCCI" 70s suede leather round collar coat

There are stains on the lower right side of the back, lining dirt, and button deterioration.

GUCCI is a maison that has refined the practicality derived from equestrian gear and the elegance of travel attire, starting from Florence's craftsmanship. While updating its expression through different eras, its interpretation of leather remains consistently profound, and its discreet iconography within subtle designs is also attractive. Today, we introduce a superb piece that vividly captures the atmosphere of Old Gucci, showcasing meticulous leather craftsmanship.

This exquisite piece exudes the dignity characteristic of Old Gucci from the late 1970s.

Made entirely of deep Bordeaux suede, the pile absorbs light, creating a sense of depth in the color and a very refined shadow effect. The collar is a rounded style that gives a soft impression, and the front is designed with buttons to align the vertical lines, maintaining a neat appearance without becoming overly sweet. On the chest, there are zip pockets on both sides, guiding the gaze upward, which prevents the long length from looking elongated, and a large patch pocket at the waist adds both practicality and mood. Epaulets are visible on the shoulders, subtly hinting at travel or uniform influences, and the cuffs feature zippers to adjust the fit at the wrists. The buttons appear to be leather-wrapped, with an interlocking G engraved in the center, subtly asserting its status. The tag features a cursive G. Gucci and a heraldic crest with a knight and shield, with "s.r.l." indicating corporate registration, and "Made in Italy," "Genuine Leather," and size 44 are also visible, suggesting it was made at the Italian headquarters during the era when the Gucci family held control. There is a small discoloration near the hem, but it does not significantly affect the overall impression and blends naturally as a vintage piece.

The reason this is considered from the late 70s is the tag featuring the cursive G. Gucci inscription and the heraldic emblem, clearly different from the block-letter logos that became mainstream after the 80s, indicating it is from the mid to late 70s. Additionally, the rich travel culture and jet-set fashion of that era valued not flashy decorations from afar but the depth of color and thickness of materials that stand out up close, and this is truly embodied in full suede, which adds unique value to this piece. The engraved leather buttons, the placement of zippers, and the neatness of the epaulets form a consistent style, making it more than just an old suede coat—it's the completed travel outfit proposed by Gucci at that time.

In everyday situations, it particularly stands out in scenes where you want to set a refined atmosphere, such as after work dinners or at art museums, and because the long length becomes the core of the outfit, you can keep it simple while maintaining elegance. Since the texture of the material is the main feature, the closer the setting, the more convincing it becomes, leaving a quiet impression.

For styling, combining a minimal shirt with neat slacks and finishing with leather shoes naturally exudes the sophistication characteristic of Old Gucci's travel attire.

As another option, pairing a turtleneck top with wide-silhouette bottoms emphasizes the vertical lines while the shadow of the suede is highlighted, landing in a genderless, well-balanced mood.
