Jean Paul Gaultier Leather short vest

Jean Paul Gaultier short suit jacket vintage collection “”Jean’s Paul Gaultier”” in black brown leather material and fine silk lining. CONDITION/SIZE⤵️ Very original artisanal artistic creation since 100% leather material entirely chiselled, openwork by hand, a magnificent and romantic plant motif (it is natural that certain pieces have not fallen or can be folded as joints) Couturier work of exception because model very close to the body but made of rigid material therefore very complicated to succeed in creating ease, comfort, observe the complex work of yoke of the sleeves which show this difficulty particularly on the elbows. Developed directly on a sewing pattern with a raised chest seam line which refines, collar and large triangular flap. Everything is finished with silk bias, the edges of the interior pockets, the back slit, the collar flap… Horizontal front pockets with topstitched edging. Magnificent large jewel-style snap button in silver and gold metal with sculpted relief coat of arms: knight’s crown blazon. Identical snap button finish but smaller on the cuffs. A piece of great charm that will put you in the spotlight!} ?Very good vintage condition since little used because it was too small for the previous owner, in fact the extra fine silk lining has a few micro-tears under the armpits and sleeves (I cannot return the sleeves to take a photo so as not to damage the leather so photo seen from the outside). Due to long storage, the support of the leather on the silk lining creates clear micro drops but it is hidden, it looks like a pattern so nothing aesthetically disturbing. Openwork leather naturally folds in stitching areas. As a reminder, artisanal and non-industrial creation, micro irregularities or protruding lines may appear. Clean, cleaned lining, non-smoking house. ?Size displayed 42 Italian so universal M but the vintage size is small as proof of measurements taken flat in front which indicates a size XS/S: Shoulders: 38 cm/14.96 inches Armpits: 43 cm/16.92 inches High waist: 36 cm/14.17 inches Bottom width: 38 cm/14.96 inches Length: 50 cm/19.68 inches Sleeves: 60 cm/23.62 inches
