A Jean Muir jacket in exceptionally soft suede, cut in an oversized, draped silhouette that speaks directly to her mastery of fluid form.
The scale is deliberate. Broad, generous shoulders fall into a loose, enveloping shape, allowing the suede to move and settle naturally across the body. Unlike heavier skins, this suede is supple and pliable, giving the piece a softer drape while still holding enough weight to maintain its structure.
There are no fastenings, keeping the front completely open and uninterrupted. Instead, the focus shifts to the cut and the construction. Turn it around and you see one of Muir’s signature details: triangular stitching worked into the back, a subtle but unmistakable design marker that elevates the piece beyond a simple outer layer.
Fully lined in a silky fabric, it feels as considered on the inside as it does on the outside. It’s the kind of jacket that transforms whatever it’s worn over, adding shape, colour and a quiet sense of authority.
