"GUCCI" 90’s suede and silk equestrian back vest

Entering the 1990s, Gucci transformed the maison's atmosphere by simultaneously establishing sensuality and elegance, and here we introduce a masterpiece that beautifully switches materials, embodying the most intellectual understanding of the brand's heritage.

Using genuine camel suede on the entire piece, the short pile absorbs light softly, giving the color itself a sense of depth—this is a superb item.

The V-zone is designed not to be too deep, allowing for a sense of openness around the neck without showing skin, and simply choosing the texture of the innerwear can easily adjust the overall impression.

The front features a minimal five-button design with special metal buttons that have thin slits, which, while not overly decorative, immediately convey a sense of quality when approached.

Furthermore, the seam lines are designed to gently follow the body rather than fall straight, reducing the stiffness typical of vests and creating a balanced look that neatly shapes the upper body regardless of gender.

The main highlight is the back, where the code of horseback riding, the origin of GUCCI, is depicted as a silk jacquard with bit and chain motifs, clearly contrasting with the suede on the front, transforming a classic vest into an urban allure.

Since the back features a bit-shaped adjuster, the waist can be cinched to create a three-dimensional effect, and it’s also pleasing that the overall look can be refined even from the rear view.

Regarding the era, in addition to the fact that the GUCCI JAPAN label matches the agency name from 1994 onward, the ZAMASPORT manufacturing tag is known as a representative production background of Tom Ford's prêt-à-porter in the 90s, and the modern serif label design aligns with trends from the mid-90s onward, making it highly credible as a piece from around 1995 to 1999.

Amidst the current re-evaluation of Tom Ford's archive, the best piece that touches on its core from both material and motif aspects can be said to be an item that is easy to incorporate into daily life yet highly documentary.

The size is labeled as 42, and even when casually layered over a shirt, the shoulder area doesn't look cramped, and if tucked inside a jacket, the front remains quietly neat while a story unfolds on the back, making it especially recommended for those seeking depth in their styling.

Styling-wise, pairing a high-quality shirt with slacks and draping a long coat over it, the calmness of the suede on the front and the will of the harness pattern on the back resonate elegantly the moment you walk.

Additionally, by layering over minimal dresses or elegant setups, you can add only the mood without disrupting the outfit, allowing for a natural transition to a genderless style that combines elegance and mode.
