A quietly glamorous piece that feels as relevant now as it would have done when it first appeared on the rails at Matches. This Maxfield Parrish cherry red suede jacket has a beautifully fluid cut that skims the body rather than sitting stiffly, with the softest butter-like suede giving it an effortless ease. The clean zip front, neat collar and minimal silhouette make it one of those endlessly wearable jackets that can slip into almost any wardrobe.
The rich lipstick-cherry red shade gives it real presence without feeling overpowering. It works just as well thrown over faded denim and a white T-shirt as it does layered over black tailoring or a silk slip dress in the evening. The softly dropped shoulder and streamlined fit give it that understated 90s luxury feel that Maxfield Parrish did so well.
Originally made for Matches, likely before the retailer evolved into the luxury ecommerce powerhouse it later became, this feels like an early and increasingly hard-to-find piece from the label. Fully lined, with silver-tone zip fastening and zipped pockets.
There are some marks and variations to the suede, consistent with the age and nature of vintage suede pieces, but they do not detract from the overall look or wearability of the jacket.
