A GUCCI multi-pocket cotton jacket, estimated from the 1970s.
GUCCI, a name synonymous with the pinnacle of luxury itself.
GUCCI was founded in 1921 in Florence, Italy, beginning as a purveyor of fine leather goods—travel luggage, equestrian equipment, and the like.
Often called the "originator of the brand concept," GUCCI was the first in the world to place a designer's name upon a product as a mark of quality assurance.
The pieces bearing the GUCCI family's hand—the Old GUCCI era of the 1970s and 1980s—remain deeply coveted to this day, collected by connoisseurs worldwide as objects of genuine importance.
From this storied period, we present a cotton jacket distinguished by its multiple pockets.
Across the chest sits a substantial snap-button flap pocket set at a diagonal; at the hem, snap-button hand-warmer pockets complete the ensemble. Four pockets in total—a deliberate arrangement that speaks to those who understand such details.
This is precisely the kind of piece that captures the imagination of discerning collectors.
The front closure employs a dual-layer construction: both zipper and snap buttons in a concealed placket, marrying design with genuine functionality.
The color—a beige approaching ivory—is decidedly neutral, allowing this jacket to move effortlessly across any occasion and context.
What surprises, however, is the lining: a richly saturated blue that contradicts the restrained exterior. Within the ordinary resides something vivid. This calculated counterpoint is characteristic of GUCCI at its finest.
A piece conceived with intention.
Size is marked 52.
This is a generous cut, accommodating a fuller frame with ease.
Worn loose across the shoulders, it will sit with natural grace.
Surface wear is evident, though no significant damage impedes further wear.
Among GUCCI pieces, true Old GUCCI—bearing the family's own hand—has become increasingly rare.
For those who value authenticity, such provenance matters profoundly.
This jacket stands equally as wardrobe and collection alike.
Examples of this caliber arrive infrequently at the shop. Should you have been searching, the opportunity is present.
