Jacket Details:
- officer jacket from Hedi Slimane’s first collection upon his return to Saint Laurent for SS13
- featured in the ad campaign in 5 different versions (this version, buttonable collar angled like popped short collar, buttonable collar with double button waistband hem + epaulettes, zipper fastening with snap epaulette, and leather which was longer like a short coat)
- mandarin/Nehru/officer collar
- body fabric is a dry wool, somewhat stiff in the body
- 5 button front fastening, single non-functioning button cuffs
- 4 panel body construction (2 front, 2 back); front panels larger, follows form and wraps around the back
- 2 angled side darts
- jacket is fully lined in pure black medium weight silk
- pockets lined in black cotton
- rear short center vent (~15 cm up)
- shorter length, boxy fit
- 2 outer hip welt pockets, 1 chest pocket (*OUTER POCKETS STILL SEALED*)
- 2 inner pockets total; 1 right breast buttoned, 1 inner hidden pocket in lining seam (lower left)
- silver chain hanger loop at inner neck
- comes with hang tag attached at inner pocket (3 spare buttons; 1 main, 1 sleeve, 1 inner pocket)
* care label says “fodera 1 / pillowcase 1 / kissenbezug 1 / taie 1 / funda almohada 1†as cotton, I don’t know if this is just for the shoulder padding as there is no other material or padding, unless it refers to the pocket linings

**please note that although this is a boxy fit, it is best for a slim 48 at best. If you consider yourself slightly muscular as a 48 I would HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND IT. It is the reason I am selling it (5'9" / 175 cm, 150 lbs). While the body is fine, it is the sleeves that are cut very slim around the bicep (see google for what is commonly mistaken as the shoulders being too small).
