A leather jacket by SERAPHIN, estimated from the 1990s.
SERAPHIN is a leather speciality factory brand founded in Paris, France in 1975.
With an obsessive pursuit of material excellence, the house travels across regions worldwide to source only the finest leather. The quality of their work is held in such esteem that even HERMÈS, the apex of maison brands, entrusts SERAPHIN with their entire leather wear production.
This is a leather jacket worthy of the term "heirloom"—crafted to endure generations.
We present a classically proportioned leather jacket from SERAPHIN.
Cut in the manner of a military flight jacket, it features ribbed cuffs and hem. The detailing is spare and considered—two parallel zip pockets across the chest, and hand-warmer pockets at the waist describing an inverted arc.
The presence of a chin strap deserves particular note.
The difference between a jacket with and without one is substantial.
When worn with the collar raised, it imparts an entirely different bearing.
The zip sliders are fitted with riri hardware.
The leather is unmarked, though the hand suggests deerskin—its grain texture remains visible, while the material itself is supple and comfortable against the body.
Those who find stiff leather disagreeable will find no difficulty here.
It carries an understated gravitas, yet the overall impression is one of refinement.
This is SERAPHIN as one expects.
A simple, timeless leather jacket for those who value quality above fashion.
Marked size 52, this is generously cut, suitable for larger frames.
Worn loose and open, it reads with ease and proportion.
Light surface wear is present, consistent with use. There are no tears, no excessive abrasion. The condition is sound.
No damage that would compromise wear, so it remains ready for years of service.
SERAPHIN—the leather factory recognized by HERMÈS itself.
At retail, the price is considerable. Here, it is offered at a genuine advantage.
If you seek a leather jacket of substance, this is the moment.
