Vintage Yves Saint Laurent YSL Brown Velvet Blazer Made in France Mens
The edit · Blazers
A pre-owned blazer in brown velvet. An oversized blazer has a shoulder line nothing on the high street can match. The wool is heavier, the canvas inside is real, and the cut was made to be worn open and loose.
The couturier who put women in tuxedos.
Founded in Paris in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge. Le Smoking, the women's tuxedo, in 1966, and the Rive Gauche ready-to-wear line changed fashion permanently.
Vintage YSL spans the Rive Gauche era to the Mondrian dress and the Sac de Jour. The 1970s and 1980s pieces are the most collected, and the craftsmanship is superb.
What to look for
Labels tell the era: Yves Saint Laurent, Rive Gauche, then Saint Laurent. Check the lining and the hardware; the older the label, the finer the finish.
Fit the shoulders first, everything else can be tailored. A canvassed chest and horn buttons separate the good jackets from the rest.
How to wear it
Push the sleeves up, wear it over denim and a plain tee before you ever pair it with matching trousers. If the shoulder fits, the rest can be tailored.
