[~90’s] Old SULKA Brown Suede Leather Shirt Jacket Size.42

This is a "Brown Suede Leather Shirt Jacket" made by SULKA, estimated to be from the 1990s.

Special items are now in stock.

SULKA is a legendary men's clothing store founded in New York in 1893 by Amos Sulka, a businessman from Pennsylvania, and Leon Wormser, a tailor from the Alsace-Lorraine region of France.

What's interesting is its starting point: its first customers were firefighters, police officers, and butlers of wealthy people.

Eventually, famous American families such as the Vanderbilts, Fords, and Guggenheims, who employed butlers, became customers, and the brand quickly rose to the realm of luxury.

The company opened a store in Paris in 1904, and by the 1920s had expanded to Fifth Avenue and Old Bond Street in London.
Furthermore, we acquired a textile factory in Lyon, France, and built a system to procure the highest quality silk ourselves.

Sulka's greatest appeal is that she speaks about the essence of luxury through ``persuasion'' rather than ``flaunting''.

Silk ties, smoking jackets, dressing gowns, etc.
Everything is made up of "accumulation of details," and we have a collection of famous items that quietly raise the class of the wearer.

In 1989, it became part of the Vendôme Luxury Group, which includes Cartier and Dunhill, but the brand was unable to rebuild and the last store closed in 2002.

That's why being able to meet SULKA today is itself a rare experience.
"A prestigious name that is quietly selected only by those in the know."

Don't miss out on this opportunity, you never know when you'll come across it next.

Introducing a shirt jacket made from high-quality suede leather from the legendary men's clothing store "SULKA".

Is it okay for such an elegant suede leather jacket to exist?

No, really.
This sex appeal and dignity can be seen even through the photo.

Opportunities to find Surka items in the used clothing market are extremely limited.
Since the last store closed in 2002, new products have never been released into the world, and all that remain on the market are limited-edition "existing items."

It is no exaggeration to say that the encounter rate is extremely low when it comes to leather items.
This is a genuine special piece that will be arriving at our shop for the first time.

The design source seems to be the context of American workwear, especially coveralls.

The configuration, with a total of four pockets on the front, including left and right patch pockets on the chest and large left and right patch pockets on the hem, is truly the classic format of American workwear.

However, as soon as the material changes to suede leather, the impression changes dramatically.
The worker's ``clothing as a tool'' has been sublimated into the gentleman's ``clothing as a taste.''

It feels like the smell of America and the elegance of Europe coexist with each other.

When you consider the origins of the SULKA brand - it was founded in New York, but has an aesthetic sense rooted in the gentlemanly culture of Paris and London - this duality makes perfect sense.

The collar is a slightly large pointed collar that is typical of a shirt jacket.

The rise from the stand collar is beautiful, and it has an exquisite design that makes it look flattering even when the collar is turned up.
Due to the softness of the suede, the collar naturally falls in an arc, giving it an indescribable sex appeal.

There are slits on both sides of the hem.

The presence or absence of slits in long-length shirt jackets is an important detail that directly affects the comfort of the jacket.It eliminates the feeling of tightness around the waist and prevents the silhouette from collapsing when seated.

From inside the slit, you can glimpse the dark brown lining with the "SULKA" monogram woven into it.
The beauty of this "peek" is irresistible.

The cuffs have button cuffs.
It has the same structure as the shirt cuffs, and also uses buttons with SULKA engraved on them.

Similarly, the front buttons are original buttons with the brand name engraved on each one, without making an excessive statement, but definitely making its presence known.
SULKA's brand philosophy of "speak quietly" is reflected in these details.

On the back, there is a center box pleat under the yoke.

This ensures a range of motion around the shoulder blades, and also allows the unique weight of suede leather to be used as a drape.
This single pleat makes the back look much richer.

The silhouette uses a box cut.

At first glance, the fact that the hem is cut straight and box-shaped rather than round may seem like a minor point, but personally, I'm quite happy with it.
The reason is simple and clear: the box cut is overwhelmingly easier to use.

By having a straight line from the hem of the pants to the hem of the jacket, it becomes much more compatible with casual wear.

A round cut tends to give the impression of a dress, but a box cut will blend seamlessly with denim and sneakers.

This "missing" part is very important for everyday use.

As you can see on the tag, "VERA PELLE / GENUINE LEATHER", the material is "real leather (suede leather)".

A high-quality suede that is extremely smooth and flexible, and you can feel it as soon as you touch it.
The brushed leather is evenly arranged, giving it a soft, velor-like feel that sticks to your hands.

Quite soft and comfortable to the touch.
Despite being made of leather, it provides a stress-free comfort that feels like wearing a cotton shirt.

We promise that once you wear it, you will never be able to part with it, and it will be so luxurious and comfortable that you will fall in love with it.

The color is brown, but I would say it's a warm rich brown, similar to terracotta.

The unique brushed nature of suede picks up light, making it attractive to change its appearance from bright camel to deep chocolate depending on the viewing angle and lighting.

Autumn/winter clothing tends to lean toward dark colors, but this brown is neither too heavy nor frivolous.
Brown is truly for adults.

Size notation is "42"
I think it corresponds to "L ~ XL" in Japanese size.

Even if you look at the actual size, it will feel like a large size, so even people with large bodies can wear it without any problems.

This item is in mint condition with no noticeable dirt or scratches.

Suede leather is originally a delicate material that is prone to water stains and scratches, but this item shows almost no such damage and the nap is in excellent condition.
You can tell how much the previous owner took care of it.

SULKA, a legendary men's clothing store that closed in 2002
More than 20 years have already passed since that history closed.

No new SULKA products will be created in the future, and the number of SULKA products remaining on the market is decreasing by the minute.

Among them, what are the chances of finding an Italian-made suede leather shirt jacket that embodies the brand's aesthetic sense?

"Prestigious" leather products that are quietly selected only by those in the know.
Please don't miss this encounter.
