[~90's] Old SERAPHIN Deerskin Leather Jacket Size.52 "MARIE-LOUISE special order"

This is a "Deerskin Leather Jacket" made by SERAPHIN, estimated to be from the 1990s.

Special items are now in stock.

SERAPHIN is a leather wear maison founded in Paris, France in 1975 by Henri Zaks.

The workshop is located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, along a canal called Quai de Valmy.de Valmy)” area.
This place is said to have been a gathering place for leather tanners and leather craftsmen since the Napoleonic era, and is also a place where the ``memories of Paris' leather industry'' remain.

The essence of Seraphan is not simply to use ``high-quality leather,'' but to treat leather as ``fabric'' and apply it to clothing using the logic of tailoring.

In fact, the founder, Henri Sachs, has been working in the leather wear industry since the 1960s, and is introduced as someone who opened his own workshop in 1975, and his work has been said to have quietly gained acclaim in "an atelier that only a few people could access."

The craftsmanship is symbolized by the company's commitment to ``complete everything from cutting to sewing in our own atelier in Paris.''

Serafane designs, cuts, and manufactures all of its garments in its own workshop in Paris, with the philosophy that each garment is completed by a single craftsman from start to finish.
That's why the "beautiful lines" that you can see the moment you put it on, and the "lightness" that the unique weight of leather doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, coexist together.

Even though it's made of leather, there's something classy and elegant about it.

What is also noteworthy is its "sense of scale".

Serafane is not a mass-produced brand, but is described as a small, strong manufacturer that dedicates much of its production to its own brands while also working with external clients.

In other words, there aren't many of them on the market.
This rarity can be said to be one of the reasons why Seraphane is considered special in the used clothing and archive market.

And in terms of "authority", Seraphan is one step above.

The Financial Times reports that Henri Sachs has worked for several luxury brands, including Hermès.
It continues to be chosen in areas where the brand name is not prominent.
This is proof that our technology and quality are widely accepted without any need for explanation.

In terms of materials, Seraphan is exceptional in its selection of leather.

Many of our dealers and introductory articles share the same attitude: we don't like chemical processing, we take advantage of the texture of the material, and we search for the best leather from all over the world.
Rather than making a statement with a flashy logo, create a persuasive power that ``people who understand it'' will understand by the expression, luster, and drape of the leather.

This is the aesthetic of the Serafane brand. 

"Leather wear is heavy, stiff, and tiring to wear."
Seraphan is a brand that quietly overturns that preconception.

Even if your outfit is simple, the moment you put it on, it will elevate the overall quality.
Instead of talking about luxury out loud, we mute it with tailoring and materials.

For those looking for such a piece, I think there is no better option than this.

Introducing a piece made from the finest leather fabric from Seraphan.

"Between a jacket and a half coat"
This is a long, well-balanced leather jacket with a relaxed shoulder feel.

The front has a minimalist look, and the only pockets that stand out are the two large flap pockets at the hem.

By placing the large pockets in a low position, the line of sight flows vertically, reducing the "heavy" characteristic of leather items.
Universality that is not influenced by trends is born from this subtractive aesthetic.

Furthermore, the horizontal transition (panel composition) that runs down the body is subtle yet outstanding.

Although it looks simple, the shadows change depending on how the light hits it.
Its depth gives it a sense of style that goes beyond just a plain coat.

The front has a clean 4-button closure.
The design, which does not rely on zips or unnecessary decorations and adjusts the "face" with just the rhythm of the buttons, emphasizes the neatness typical of Seraphan.

In addition, this item is a special order item with the "MARIE-LOUISE" notation.

The name ``MARIE-LOUISE / HASSELT'' and the tag ``Manufacture SERAPHIN / France'' are attached to the lining side, giving the impression that it was made to order through a retail store (or select shop) at the time.

The fabric is probably "Deerskin".

Deerskin refers to "leather derived from deer", regardless of gender, and the fibers are finely intertwined, making it surprisingly light, flexible and tough.
It has a "falling" feel that follows your body's movements from the moment you put it through the sleeves, and it does not have the stiffness that is typical of leather.

It's no wonder it's called the "cashmere of leather" because it feels so good against your skin.

In addition, the grainy grain creates shadows, and the more you wear it, the more the shine gradually increases.
Although it is made of black leather, it does not look flat and has a texture that allows you to enjoy the depth that increases over time.

It has a lightness and softness that makes you doubt that it is genuine leather, making it extremely light and stress-free to wear.
I think many people avoid leather items because of the hardness of the leather, but there is no need to worry about this item.

The lining is made of quilted viscose material.

In addition to the practicality typical of Seraphan, the graphic that runs all over the back creates a playful contrast to the calmness of the front.
There is also a zip pocket on the inside, and this "invisible convenience" will improve the level of perfection for everyday use.

The color is a deep black color.

Even if you say black in one word, this black has a density similar to "ink".
Only the areas that are hit by the light become quietly glossy, and the undulations of the grain emerge as a gradation, so the appearance changes depending on the angle.

The sharpness of the outline is more important than the weight.
It can be said that black has such fearlessness.

This is the perfect item for those looking for a simple, high-quality leather item that can be used for a lifetime. 

Size notation is "52"
I think it corresponds to "XL ~ XXL" 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.

There are some signs of use such as missing buttons, but there is no major damage that would make it difficult to wear, so I think it can still be worn.

"SERAPHIN" is the highest quality leather factory brand recognized by Hermes.
Please fully enjoy the charm of Seraphan, which produces quality worthy of a leather jacket that will last a lifetime.
