"GIANFRANCO FERRE STUDIO" 90’s-00’s Architectural hourglass herringbone tailored jacket

With a background in architecture and a keen aesthetic sense for designing clothing as three-dimensional objects, Gianfranco Ferré, who led 90s Italian fashion, is introduced here with a piece that features outstanding structural tailoring.

While inheriting the atmosphere of the main collection, this refined and powerful piece embodies the unique elegance of the STUDIO line, which is easy to incorporate into daily life.

One of its main attractions is the depth created by the classic herringbone weave, which subtly reveals the shadow of the twill depending on how light hits it, naturally providing a three-dimensional feel that plain jackets cannot achieve.

The silhouette is architecturally constructed in a Ferre-like manner, with a sharp shoulder outline and a clearly tapered waist, creating a tense hourglass shape that shapes the body, leaving a strong mode impression that goes beyond mere classic revival.

The front features a vertical button arrangement that naturally guides the gaze downward, making the posture look more elegant when worn. The buttons themselves have a leather-like gloss, adding a touch of urban hardness to the warmth of tweed.

The pockets feature a flap design that is neatly finished, and the pattern matching is carefully aligned, ensuring the lines and structural beauty that Ferre excels at are clearly conveyed without disruption.

The lining is fully lined with a smooth, heavy fabric that contributes to the practical appeal typical of autumn/winter, and while layering, it is also easy to maintain silhouette integrity, which is a plus.

Regarding the age, it is important to note that the Japanese laundry tags show markings derived from the old JIS standards, indicating that it predates the switch to the current new JIS, thus guaranteeing a certain vintage quality. Additionally, codes like D-TK392, used as import management numbers at the time, are commonly found in import circulation from the mid-90s to early 2000s, making this piece credible as from the mid-90s to early 2000s.

Furthermore, the design of the STUDIO line tags and the contextual development align with that era, making this piece a quietly valuable item from a period heavily supervised by Ferre, which can be enjoyed as such.

Especially recommended for those who want to wear a classic pattern but do not want to lean towards conservative styles, or for those who want to create a well-defined presence with just a jacket, this piece subtly embodies the intelligence and strength of 90s Italian fashion while maintaining everyday wearability.

In terms of styling, pairing a plain cut-and-sew with slacks to highlight the structural lines of this jacket creates a clean look, and adding a high-quality shirt to neatly arrange the collar also looks great. Layering with a long coat or minimal leather items further accentuates the architectural mood of Ferre, landing in an elegant and mode-inspired, gender-neutral, and dignified impression.

Definitely take this opportunity.
