A vibrant Maxfield Parrish jacket in wonderfully buttery soft suede, its cherry tomato red colour bringing an instant lift to everyday dressing. The pointed collar, zip front and zipped pockets give it a sporty, motoring-inspired feel, while the gently shaped seams create a flattering, clean silhouette. Fully lined in matching red, it is an easy piece to wear with denim or simple tailored trousers.
Founded by Nigel Preston, Maxfield Parrish established its reputation through distinctive leather and suede clothing. This jacket also carries a Matches label, indicating that it was originally retailed by the celebrated designer boutique founded in Wimbledon in 1987, later known as Matchesfashion. A lovely detail connecting this British label to London’s independent luxury fashion scene.
There are some surface marks, including those shown in the close-up photographs. The original interior label also notes that colour variation and marking are characteristic of the natural skins used. These variations form part of the suede’s character, alongside the signs of wear acquired over time.
