Raf Simons A/W 97/98 Collection School Blazer (100% Wool) Work from the School Punk era This piece is from the 1997-1998 Autumn/Winter collection, when he first participated in the Paris Men's Ready-to-Wear Collection. A museum-quality premium item. Year of purchase: Autumn 1997 Purchased at: United Arrows Fukuoka store (the importer at the time) After the first arrival in Japan in 1997, I saw it in Men's Non-no and immediately went to buy it. This is an important work that was the trigger for him being called a genius. Worn for one season after purchase, about 5 times. The fabric is firm, with no damage, fraying, or pilling. Stored in a closet for about 27 years. Size: 46 For someone of average weight and 165-168cm tall, the sleeves are slightly long. It looks cool to wear it in a mod style with the sleeves folded up once. Best fit: For a slender person 168-175cm tall, it will fit tightly, similar to the photo model's look. Made in Belgium, the size is suitable for people with long arms and legs. Defect: I think the tag under the Raf Simons tag on the neck is cut. This is where the fabric content tag was. I usually cut it off because it's itchy. I had it in the inner pocket, but I lost it when I took the photos this time. The content was (stock) United Arrows, Made in Belgium, 100% wool, dry cleaning mark, 100% PURE NEW WOOL, Dry clean only, Made in Belgium. [Museum-quality according to overseas evaluations] This 1997 school blazer and the long blazer of the same design are the most important works in Simons' career, which brought him worldwide attention.
