Featured Leather jacket

Hi all,

I’m clear on what brand this jacket is but can anyone tell me approx what decade this is from, or even better find a similar one online?

It would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Sam

 

Looks almost an 80s styling with those thin cuffs, but label looks more 90s / naughties

Definitely no earlier than 90s

Looks a very nice leather though, looks major soft

 

My guess: 1980s/90s.

EDIT: For me, the asymmetrical closure on the front and the piping down the sleeves evokes 80s more than 90s. What's the back look like?

 

Sam, that's going to be a licensed product. If you go to the US Government's trademark data base, you can search to find when YSL licensed leather goods.

The raglan sleeves would point to the 1980s. Any padding in the shoulders?

Thanks guys

Here’s the back.


Excuse my ignorance but is it men’s or women’s?
Thanks,

Sam

 

I agree with the others, 80s. Not just the style and colour scheme, a friend of mine had the same jacket in the 80s.

 

You can tell sex by way it closes. Men's and women's clothing buttons/snaps on different sizes but I can never remember which is which. Any other labels? An RN would identify maker.

There’s no size.. it fits me (6’0 Male) but is very short on the arms..

Can you tell by the side of the buttons if it’s male or female?

 

Judging by my level of dislike, I guess it to be 1983-5.

 

According to my pearl snaps, it's a ladies

 

Ladies' buttons are on the left; men's on the right.

 

I have to agree jivvy, it's pretty style less

It might even be more modern than you think with the resurgence of the biker jacket style lapels, with a retro look

80s label were mostly white with different font,

 

This one's not very old at all, same label

So modern, with vintage styling

 

Your link doesn't work for me. And there's nothing modern about that jacket. Looks genuinely vintage. (And there are similar vintage YSL labels.)

Here's one from the 1970s (according to the seller. Looks a tad later to me.)
