–SPECIAL– "HERMES" 98-03’s Wool mohair double breasted suit set

Based on the dignity embodied by the carriage emblem, Hermes has built a quiet yet persuasive reputation through the precision of its materials and tailoring. We are proud to introduce an exquisite piece that simultaneously offers lightness and dignity, showcasing Hermes' mastery in tailoring.

This masterpiece is crafted with a double-breasted design using delicate, semi-transparent wool mohair, giving it a refined and intricate appearance.

First and foremost, the luxurious blend of 50% wool and 50% mohair provides resilience and a fine sheen unique to mohair, giving the fabric a core, while its lightweight, skin-friendly feel ensures the jacket remains remarkably cool and comfortable. The fabric surface has a subtle depth that, with slight shadow play depending on the light angle, prevents the black tailoring from appearing flat, creating an elegant three-dimensionality.

The double-breasted jacket's front creates a sharp impression, and the well-designed lapel width and roll prevent it from leaning too heavily into a classic look, instead landing in an urban mood. The way the shoulder line connects smoothly to the body without exaggeration reflects Hermes' restrained aesthetic. Inside, a jacquard-woven Hermes logo on the rayon lining provides a subtle yet informative detail that leaves a lasting impression as a special line.

The trousers feature a two-tack design that ensures mobility around the waist, and the DROP 8 setting makes the overall look sharp. The combination of classic details and a modern silhouette, along with suspenders buttons, adds depth to the outfit. The zipper pull is stamped with "Elegant," indicating it was an authentic component of the original line, and even the less visible parts are carefully designed for quality.

Regarding the era, the dot matrix print on the product tag is a specification confirmed in Italian Hermes products from the late 1990s to early 2000s, and while it retains the notation based on Italy's textile label law Legge n. 883/1973, it lacks the multilingual glossy tags and QR codes seen from the mid-2000s onward. Therefore, this item is reliably positioned as from the Veronique Nishanian period around 1998 to 2003. Additionally, the high-quality spring-summer fabric design using a golden ratio of wool and mohair aligns with the brand's shift towards materialism during the same period, further strengthening its archival value.

The core added value lies in experiencing the atmosphere of the highly acclaimed early to mid-Nishanian period for men, combined with the period when Martin Margiela was part of the women's line, during which the entire brand was committed to minimalism and ultimate materialism. This piece demonstrates Hermes' essence—showing its uniqueness through fabric and tailoring without flashy decoration—and is the most refined expression of that philosophy in a set-up.

Styling-wise, it pairs perfectly with a shirt and slacks for a neat look, and by matching it with leather shoes, it leans more towards formal wear; or, by using a T-shirt or lightweight tops for a relaxed look, it naturally blends into daily wear. When layered with a minimal coat, the light texture comes alive, creating a balanced look that exudes quiet dignity in a genderless style.

This is a masterpiece that you should definitely pick up, not only for special occasions but also for those who want to beautifully refine their everyday manners, and for those who want to build a wardrobe centered around understated luxury.

Definitely take this opportunity.
