An Italian military double-breasted brown corduroy jacket, estimated 1930s.
A truly exceptional acquisition.
Offered in deadstock condition.
Crafted from refined, fine-wale brown corduroy, featuring the distinctive double-breasted configuration—a rare detail in which buttons align across two columns.
The double-breasted construction alone elevates its rarity considerably; in the market, such pieces remain scarce, and many collectors seek them out precisely for this reason.
A double-breasted silhouette carries considerably more visual presence than its single-breasted counterpart, commanding attention through its very form.
The green piping and gold buttons that punctuate the brown corduroy serve as refined accents, lending the piece a singular character that cannot be replicated.
The proportions align with what might be considered a golden size for the Japanese frame, accommodating a broad spectrum of builds.
As befits military garment heritage,wearing it oversized with ease and composure proves equally compelling.
Being deadstock, the condition is beyond reproach—recommended for those in pursuit of pristine examples.
Whether integrated into active rotation or preserved as a collection piece and design reference, the jacket warrants such consideration.
This is not the sort of object one acquires through expenditure alone, nor can future availability be assured.
Given the genuine scarcity of such pieces, those who have been seeking should not overlook this opportunity.
