A beautifully tactile Jean Muir midnight blue suede jacket with the kind of understated detailing that makes her work so enduringly wearable. Cut in a relaxed, softly structured silhouette with raglan sleeves and a self tie belt, this piece feels simultaneously practical and elegant, with the weight of the suede giving it a reassuring, luxurious drape when worn.
The surface of the suede has a rich velvety texture that catches the light beautifully. Delicate floral cut-out motifs appear scattered across the jacket, including across the chest, pockets, cuffs and back, adding a softer decorative element to an otherwise incredibly clean and minimal silhouette. It is these small design decisions that Jean Muir was so brilliant at: quiet details that slowly reveal themselves the longer you look.
The open front and tie waist mean it can be styled in multiple ways. Wear loosely over a black slip dress or sharply tailored trousers, or cinch the waist over denim and a white T-shirt for a more relaxed everyday look. The kind of vintage suede piece that feels timeless rather than costume-like.
