[~90’s] Old ARMANI JEANS Leather Bomber Jacket Size.50

Estimated around 1990,This is a "leather bomber jacket" made by ARMANI JEANS.

ARMANI JEANS is a casual line launched in 1981 by designer Giorgio Armani to incorporate Armani's worldview into everyday wear called denim.
In other words, it has functioned as ``another Armani'' that you can wear with ease while retaining the elegance of the Maison.

Giorgio Armani was a man who redefined men's aesthetics at a time when structured and sturdy suits were the norm, not with the strength of interlining or shoulder pads, but with loose tailoring and clean lines.
As a leading figure in Italian fashion, at the time "Giangranco Ferre"・"It was sometimes called ``Milan's 3G'' along with ``Gianni Versace''.

Also, his appearance on the cover of the April 5, 1982 issue of "TIME" is well known as an episode that symbolizes his influence.

ARMANI JEANS is the ``royal road to neatness'' that dares to step into jeans.

The aim was clear: to elevate denim, which was gaining popularity at an accelerating pace at the time, from being just a casual item to everyday wear that was urbane, clean, and classy.

The greatest appeal of this line lies in the fact that Armani's signature ``aesthetics of subtraction'' is applied even to the roughest of materials, denim.

Rather than relying on flashy decorations, the clothes are casual yet oddly mature by carefully adjusting common elements such as the silhouette, discoloration, stitch work, and pocket placement.
It creates such an ``atmosphere''.

In other wordsArmani Jeans is not a symbol of luxury, but a line whose value lies in the quality of its design.

What's important is that this name is not "current line".

In the 2017 brand reorganization, Giorgio Armani discontinued "ARMANI JEANS" and "ARMANI COLLEZIONI" and has since concentrated on the three pillars of GIORGIO ARMANI / EMPORIO ARMANI / A|X ARMANI EXCHANGE.
It was reported that ARMANI JEANS will be mainly incorporated into EMPORIO ARMANI.

Armani jeans are "everyday wear seriously made by Armani at the time," and are part of an archive that "no longer adds up."

Like thatIntroducing a universal bomber jacket from Armani Jeans.

A leather bomber based on the universal bomber jacket, with an urban mood typical of Armani jeans.
This is a piece of clothing for adults, with a stripped-down look that creates a sense of individuality through materials, parts, and placement.

The first thing that catches your eye is the facial expression that is unique to leather.

The luster unique to brown leather and the dry grain feel are mixed together, giving it a three-dimensional look that highlights wear wrinkles and scuffs as shadows.
Although it has a rugged bomber shape, it looks classy because of the calm expression of the leather and the overall balance.

A particularly interesting detail is the vertical zip pocket located only on the front left side.

While retaining the functional beauty derived from the military, the asymmetrical "openness" of the left and right sides prevents the styling from becoming monotonous.
Just adding a straight line to the zip tightens the volume of the leather, creating a look that will work even with a simple inner layer.

Flap pockets with snap button closures are placed at both hems.

The rounded flap shape goes well with the soft silhouette of the bomber, and the key is that it doesn't look too rugged.
Furthermore, the buttons are engraved with "ARMANI JEANS", which is visible from the outside and subtly emphasizes the brand's commitment.
This kind of ``only those who notice'' mechanism is what makes luxury casual so delicious.

And on the left sleeve, there is a cigarette pocket/pen pocket that is unique to bomber jackets.

The gimmick on the sleeves gives a three-dimensional look to the arms and adds to the power of the leather.
Even if you match it with denim or slacks, the details will ensure the "MA-1-ness" that makes the upper body look picturesque.

The front is zip-up with a zip fastener.

The brand name is on the inside of the neck.ARMANI JEANSComes with a brand tag that says ".

The collar, sleeves, and hem are tightly tightened with dark brown ribbed knit, creating a beautifully rounded bomber silhouette.

This item uses "real leather" that feels solid and thick.

The surface has a mixture of grain and luster that is unique to leather, and has a dry texture with a touch of sexiness that picks up light.
The wrinkles and scuffs that come with wearing are engraved as shadows, giving a three-dimensional feel and depth to the bomber shape, which tends to be flat.

This is a piece where you can enjoy the expression that comes out because it is made of "grown leather" rather than the uniformity of a new product.

The color is a deep brown.

A brown that allows you to fully feel the fluctuation of light and shade and the bitterness.
The luster increases depending on the way the light hits it, and depending on the angle you look at it, you get the impression that it goes back and forth between a chocolate-like blackness and a slight reddish brown.

The fine wrinkles of the leather create a natural gradation, and the color gives off a somewhat elegant mood despite its ruggedness.

In addition, the dark brown ribs on the collar, sleeves, and hem play a supporting role in enhancing the solid feel of the leather.
By using similar colors but with different textures, the whole thing doesn't look too heavy, giving it a calm urban balance.

The size notation is "50"
I think it corresponds to "M ~ L" in Japanese size.

Looking at the actual size, I think it's a golden size that fits the Japanese body type, so I think people with a wide range of body types can wear it.

There are signs of use such as scratches, cracks, fraying, small holes, and missing zip sliders, but there is no major damage that would make it difficult to wear, so I think it can still be worn.

Giorgio Armani's philosophy of subtraction has rewritten the aesthetic sense of men through "removal" rather than construction.

The Armani style of ``showing charm through design rather than flashiness'' is the most effective piece for everyday wear.
Distribution is limited for individuals of the same condition and age, so don't miss this opportunity if you want to keep it as a classic for adults.
