"Early Period, Practical Condition - This Price Won't Be Available Again" ※ Among the early pieces, there aren't many leather blousons designed with practicality in mind. This is a piece with a very good balance of practicality and atmosphere, even among the leather pieces from the early period. Highly recommended for those looking to wear it. HELMUT LANG Helmut Lang Early MADE IN ITALY Bordeaux Leather Single Riders Jacket This is an early Italian-made leather riders jacket that Helmut Lang produced from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I remember buying it at a select shop in Venice during the era when the designer himself was in charge of Helmut Lang. At the time, HELMUT LANG was known as a brand that had a great influence on the fashion world with its minimalist clothing that eliminated excessive decoration, and this item also has a very refined design that reflects that philosophy. The design, which combines practicality and construction, is characterized by the front configuration and diagonally placed pockets. The unique color of bordeaux to bronze is, I think, an expression unique to Italian leather from that period. The leather is soft, with natural luster and wrinkles from aging, and it has aged into a good vintage look. Considering the age, I think it's in relatively good condition overall. 【Size】 Marked Size: Unknown (Equivalent to 46) I am 174cm / 65kg and it fit comfortably.
