An iconic piece of 1970s Jean Muir, this midnight navy suede swing jacket is a beautiful example of one of her most recognisable and enduring designs.
Cut in sumptuously soft, supply suede, the jacket falls into a gentle swing silhouette that moves effortlessly with the body. It fastens all the way to the neck with a signature bow tie detail, a motif Jean Muir returned to time and again, balancing femininity with restraint in a way that feels entirely unique to the brand itself.
The design is deceptively simple, allowing the quality of the material and the precision of the cut to take focus. Subtle, considered details elevate it further, including toggle button fastenings at the sleeve cuffs to the signature hole-punch detailing worked into the suede, adding quiet texture and depth in a way that feels entirely intentional.
The suede has a richness and depth of colour that reads almost black in certain light, giving it an understated versatility that makes it just as suited to day as it is to evening. Fully lined, it offers structure and ease while retaining the softness that defines the designer’s work.
There are subtle marks to the back of the jacket, likely from historic water exposure. These are only visible on close inspection and do not detract from the overall beauty or wearability of the piece.
A true collector’s item and a signature Jean Muir silhouette. Timeless, intelligent design that feels as relevant now as the day it was first produced.
