Estimated from around the 1980s, Moment Due by Marithé François Girbaud (This is a motorcycle type double-breasted jacket made by Moment Dew by Marite François Gilbeau.

Marithé François Girbaud was founded in 1972.Marithé Bachellerie "・"François GirbaudA fashion brand named after its name, founded in Paris, France by François Gilbeau and others.

They first industrialized denim stonewashing, creating unique silhouettes, including baggy jeans and engineered jeans.

These innovative designs attracted attention in the fashion scene around the world from the 1980s to the 1990s, and were particularly popular with artists and young people due to their affinity with hip-hop culture.

However, in the 2000s, the brand faced financial difficulties and in 2014 the brand effectively ended, so the good old Jillbeau is no longer in sight.

With her innovative technology and design, Marite François Gilbeau has expanded the possibilities of denim and has had a huge impact on the fashion industry.
Their brand is still loved by many fans as a brand with its own unique style and philosophy.

This individual is the "Moment Due" line created by Jillbeau, mentioned above.A masterpiece released by Moment Dew ("Moment Dew" and is based on the German motorcycle jackets that were made up until the 1940s.

Moment Due (Moment Dew) is a highly ideological and artistic derivative line that embodies the Jillbeau's "a quiet challenge."

It was born as if we were taking a step forward from the existing fashion context, based on the idea of "melting the boundaries between mode and function and creating value (due) towards the moment when clothes speak."

In this individual, the sophisticated silhouette, material use and attention to detail give the classic motorcycle design a new life.

This product is a modern reconstruction of the essence of the design, focusing on the structure seen in German motorcycle jackets up until the 1940s.

The first thing that catches your eye is the heavy change buttons lined up on the front.

The double-breasted design is symmetrically arranged in order to create a powerful yet orderly expression.

Among them, the button design is particularly noteworthy.
The three-dimensional metal buttons engraved with crowns and emblems strongly reflect the military uniform aesthetic where practicality and decoration intersect.

In addition to the button closure, zip pockets are placed diagonally at both chest and hem.

The lines woven together by the inverted eight and eight naturally guide your gaze up and down, and tighten the overall silhouette.

The zipper uses simple metal parts that are unengraved.
The design is designed to avoid excessive claims while not eroding its rugged presence.

The collar is no collar.

By deliberately omitting the collar, not only widens the width of the layering, but also makes the front details even more visible.
From a styling perspective, it goes great with turtlenecks and shirts, giving it a wide range of coordination options.

背面にはウエスト調整用のアジャスターベルトを両サイドに装備。

By adding a slight aperture, the straight back silhouette gives a slight undulation, creating a three-dimensional back view.

A zip-type opening and closing mechanism is placed on the cuffs.

Not only does it make it easy to put on the sleeves, but it also ensures practicality by allowing for flexible outfits that suit the temperature and thickness of the innerwear.

The hem is equipped with a strap-on button tab made of leather.

Not only is it a design accent, but it also contributes to the feel of the hold when worn, and the attention to detail is highlighted.

A brand tag with the words "MOMENT DUE" written on the inside is attached.
As the word "MADE IN ITALY" can be seen on the neck, this individual is a piece produced in its home country of Italy.

This individual uses a smooth fabric that appears to be a cotton-based blend.

Although there is no label marking, the touch when you actually pick it up gives off a smooth, yet subtle tension, with a slight resilience that looks like rubberized.

The texture is less dry and has a soft, moist and sticking softness, and the more you wear it, it will blend well with your body.
One of its major attractions is the joy of developing its own unique texture by bringing out the creases and edges over time.

The color is a sand beige color that relieves ruggedness.

At first glance, the color gives a basic impression, but has a deep color that has faint shades due to interaction with the angle and texture of the light.

Despite its calm tone, the exquisite color design makes it easy to show shading, giving the entire silhouette a visual effect that makes the entire silhouette stand out in three dimensions.

While it is rugged, it has a neutral balance that adds softness to your styling.
This choice of "sand beige" is the key to determining the refined impression of this individual.

Although the size indication cannot be confirmed, I think it falls under the "M" size for Japanese sizes.

Looking at the actual measurements, it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think it can be worn by a wide range of people with a wide range of body types.

There are signs of wear such as fraying and cracking, but there are no major damage that can cause problems with wearing it, so I think it's still possible to wear it.

"Marithé François Girbaud Moment Due" is a rare item in the market in the 1980s and is also made in Italy.

A constructed and sophisticated piece that doesn't end up as just a motorcycle reproduction product.
This product is because of the details that can be talked about, and it deepens new discoveries and attachments each time you wear it.

I hope you will enjoy it not just as a fashion piece, but also with its ideological vision and historical background.
