About the Item

Sumptuous yet understated, this Gianni Tolentino Milano jacket showcases the designer's talent for translating couture techniques into modern evening separates. Cut in Italy from a lustrous chocolate-brown jacquard, the fabric shimmers with a subtle geometric diamond weave that catches light in motion, instantly distinguishing the piece from plain satins and crepes. What makes it special • sculpted silhouette: softly padded shoulders, princess seams and a nipped waist create an hour-glass line without heavy structure • couture details: self-covered buttons, hand-tacked facings and a fully hand-stitched hem speak to atelier craft rarely found outside bespoke tailoring • versatile color: richer than black, the warm espresso tone moves effortlessly from cocktails to black-tie and pairs with ivory, gold or tonal browns • limited production: Tolentino produced in small Milanese workshops; pieces from the 1990s surface only sporadically on the secondary market Why it deserves the asking price • Italian make, premium jacquard blend (approx. 60 % silk / 40 % acetate) with a gleaming finish and substantial drape • pristine vintage condition: worn once for a private gallery opening, then preserved in a cedar wardrobe - no pulls, odours or lining stress • collectible label: Gianni Tolentino dressed European aristocracy and elite society in the 1980s-90s; surviving examples are sought by vintage connoisseurs How it looks and feels in person Imagine the polish of a classic dinner jacket, but lighter and fluid: the fabric glides over the skin, the softly rolled collar frames décolleté beautifully, and the quiet sheen elevates any simple slip dress or tailored trouser. Provenance & history Acquired directly from the original owner, a Milanese art patron who commissioned several Tolentino pieces in the mid-1990s. Stored in climate-controlled conditions away from sunlight. Details a buyer should know • labelled IT 46 - best fits a modern US 10 / UK 14 (please confirm with flat measurements) • single-breasted three-button closure; pair of front hip pockets; fully lined in matching brown satin • dry-clean only; ships steamed, on a padded hanger and in a breathable garment bag Flat measurements (garment laid flat) length (center back collar to hem) 88 cm shoulder width 43 cm bust 49 cm waist 45 cm hip 54 cm sleeve length 60 cm For collectors of refined 1990s Italian fashion or anyone seeking a quietly luxurious alternative to the traditional evening blazer, this Gianni Tolentino jacket offers timeless sophistication and heirloom-level craftsmanship.
