Short Description

The pinstriping hits that elusive sweet spot between subtle and statement—visible enough to telegraph that you understand suiting without screaming "I'm cosplaying as Gordon Gekko for Halloween." That slightly wider spacing between stripes immediately identifies this as vintage to those in the know, while rendering it completely timeless to everyone else. It's the sartorial equivalent of knowing exactly who produced that obscure jazz record—information that's impressive only to a very specific audience.

That double-breasted closure delivers a silhouette that somehow makes everyone look more authoritative without veering into cartoon villain territory. The proportions manage that impossible balance of structure without stiffness, creating a shape that's architectural enough to elevate even the most basic t-shirt underneath, yet not so rigid that you look like you're being held hostage by your own jacket. In an era of increasingly unstructured tailoring, this stands as a testament to the power of actual pattern-making expertise.

Details

Premium wool blend with characteristic subtle sheen. Six-button double-breasted closure with perfect proportional spacing. Notched lapel with precise stitching and proper roll. Flap pockets with clean architectural lines. Lightly padded shoulders create defined silhouette without excessive structure. Double vents for ease of movement and proper drape. Fully lined with interior pockets. Made during Balmain's golden era of tailoring excellence.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition. Fabric maintains structural integrity with no moth holes or damage. Buttons secure with no loose threads. Lining intact with minimal wear at typical stress points. Overall silhouette maintains original shape with no sagging or deformation—the telltale sign of quality tailoring that's been properly cared for.

Size & Fit

Unisex one-size with approximately medium proportions. Shoulders measure approximately 18-19". Chest approximately 40-42". Sleeve length approximately 24" from shoulder seam. Adaptable fit that works as standard men's fit or fashionably oversized women's silhouette.
