*****************************************************************************************

Up for sale is an awesome Hussein Chalayan jacket. Not sureif this brand is too popular with the folks here, so I’ll give this a detailed rundown. I bought it for $830 in LA, and I’ve worn it less than ten times. Ireally hate to let this go, but it’s unfortunately just not my size. It’s slightly too big. The tags says sz 48 but I think this would be best for a sz 50 or a 52.

Chalayan in very avant-garde in his designs, and this jacket is no exception. I tried to take pictures of all the unique details (there are tons!), and hopefully some descriptions below will help you vision the jacket better.

A large amount of work was obviously put into this jacket, with excellent tailoring and materials. The zippers used are all Lampo. The material is 100% cotton. The color of this jacket is a washed black, closer to a dark gray.

The hood on this jacket rolls up and is held into place by three straps. One strap buttons down onto the back of the jacket, and two straps are on each side and loop through a piece of metal as shown on the shoulders. When the hood is not rolled up or when one is wearing the hood, the straps fall into the jacket and can’t be felt.

The entire piece is lined with a mesh like fabric. The mesh is very fine, and the lining is very comfortable. Chalayan also designed the armpits with grommets and the chest near the shoulders with openings to provide ventilation. There are drawstrings on the back ofthe jacket that help adjust the fit. Lastly, there are also two zip-pockets on the front of the jacket as well as one zipped-pocket on the inside of the jacket.

Asking price: $400 -> $350

Measurements:

Shoulder to shoulder: 19”

Pit to pit: 22.5”

Total length: 27”

Next up for sale is a Cloak FW04 elbow strap blazer. This piece doesn’t really need much introduction here so here’s a quick rundown– its made out of a wonderful washed black/charcoal cotton and closes with two antiqued brass buttons. My favorite detail is on the shoulders– I'm not sure how to describe it..almost like shoulder caps? Other details include the modified peak lapels, functional sleeve buttons, angled front pocket flaps, and the elbow straps of course. The piece is double vented and has 7 pockets. A breast pocket on the front, 2 front pockets (which each have two pockets inside), as well as two interior pockets, one on each side.

This piece is like new– tried it on once, then realized its way too long on my frame.

Asking price: $600 -> $550

Measurements:

Shoulder to shoulder: 17.25"

Pit to pit: 21"

Sleeves: 27.5"

Total length: 31"

Next up for sale is a Martin Margiela knitted shawl collar wool cardigan in black. This was the first piece to sell out at both the NYC and LA stores. I purchased this at the LA MMM store for around $675. Size medium.

The knitting on this piece is downright amazing! It uses four different knitting patterns throughout the piece– it’s a bit hard to explain in words, but the photos should be able to describe it better than I can. I was talking to Renato the SA over at the MMM store, and he said the wool on this cardigan was treated so it doesn’t pill and isn’t itchy and scratchy like some of Margiela’s other wool. This piece uses real horn buttons and is pretty much brand new.

Asking price: $400 -> $350

Measurements:

Shoulder to shoulder: 19”

Pit to pit: 20.5”

Overall length: 28”

This piece was purchased for $500 in the Prada Hong Kong store.
