A brown corduroy jacket by {{INVERTERE}}, estimated to be from around the 1980s.
{{INVERTERE}} is a venerable British coat house established in 1904.
The brand holds the distinction of having developed the world's first reversible coat—a revolutionary technique for its time.
The name {{INVERTERE}} derives from Latin, meaning 'to turn around,' a reference to the signature reversible coat that defines the house.
When {{INVERTERE}} is mentioned, many think first of the duffle coat—and understandably so. Yet the house is equally known for pieces of considerable design sophistication beyond the duffle.
What we present here is a jacket of generous brown corduroy, generously cut and carefully considered.
A pocket positioned only on the left chest, shoulder construction reminiscent of action pleats—these are the hallmarks of {{INVERTERE}}, details singular and unrepeatable. A piece that speaks to the house's uncompromising approach.
The design reads as straightforward at first glance, yet the uncommon details scattered throughout bear the unmistakable signature of {{INVERTERE}}.
Effortless to wear and easily paired, yet distinct enough to set one apart. A piece we recommend for those seeking both simplicity and individuality.
It is, quite simply, extraordinarily handsome.
The chin strap, too, deserves consideration as a point in its favor.
The presence of a chin strap makes a material difference to a jacket.
When worn with the collar raised, the quality and presence it imparts are altogether distinct.
This specimen bears an old {{INVERTERE}} tag from around the 1980s—distinct from the current iteration. A rarity within the {{INVERTERE}} archive.
Many seek this particular tag.
The brown colorway is much sought after.
A color that suits a refined, mature aesthetic, it is often the shade collectors seek.
The sizing, we believe, sits in that golden proportion for Japanese proportions—accommodating a wide range of frames.
Equally resolved whether worn close to the body or with ease and room.
The lining shows minor fraying, yet otherwise presents clean—notably well-preserved given its age, with no significant soiling or damage.
No damage that would inhibit wear. This piece remains very much wearable.
Old {{INVERTERE}} comes rarely to market. A masterwork among masterworks.
What you find in contemporary {{INVERTERE}} is not what you find here—only in the old archive does such a piece exist.
Should you be seeking it, do not overlook this moment.
