A striking Jean Muir jacket from the 1980s, crafted in exceptionally soft black suede and cut to a fluid, softly structured silhouette. The item is unlined with gentle shoulder padding, it creates a subtle shape through the shoulders, almost suggesting a raglan line while maintaining a clean, tailored form.
The piece is defined by its bold metallic gold leather trim, which runs along the edges of the jacket, framing the neckline, hem and front opening. This contrast detailing gives the jacket a strong graphic quality, elevating the simplicity of the cut in a way that feels both glamorous and modern.
Fastening at the waist in a double-breasted style, the jacket is finished with distinctive mirrored acrylic buttons, adding a reflective sheen that catches the light beautifully. The combination of texture, from butter-soft suede to metallic leather and glossy buttons, creates a layered, tactile richness that is very much in keeping with the designer’s approach to materials.
Originally intended as an evening piece, it translates effortlessly into daywear, styled with denim or worn over a simple knit or co-ord. A confident and collectible example of Jean Muir’s leatherwork from the 1980s. Not costume. Style.
