Archival 60s Dior Mod Wool Jacket Rare Hooded Design Made In France Bohan Era
The edit · Blazers
A used blazer in wool, from the 1960s. 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 New Look that rebuilt fashion.
Founded in Paris in 1946 by Christian Dior. His 1947 New Look collection, with its cinched waist and full skirt, redrew the silhouette after the war, and the house never looked back.
Dior is collected for the Saddle bag, the Lady Dior and its costume jewellery of the 1950s and 1960s, all of which carry the romance of the house's golden age.
What to look for
Hallmarks on jewellery and stitching on bags. The Saddle's curved shape and the Lady Dior's cannage quilting are hard to fake convincingly.
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.
