1981 Cotton Stripe Jacket, Size Large

FROM THE PIERRE CARDIN ARCHIVES!

We’re thrilled to offer a rare opportunity to offer garments directly from the official Pierre Cardin archives. Each piece was personally selected by us and is being released to the public for the very first time. Every garment features a “PIERRE CARDIN HERITAGE” cloth label, hand-stitched inside, signifying its authenticity and origin from the historic archives and its place in fashion history.

Year: 1981

*Cardin's ready-to-wear presentations could be  considered couture or demi-couture since the garments never went into production for stores.  These pieces were made custom for clients or sometimes the runway garments were sold in the boutique and sometimes featured the boutique label.

This is possibly the garment from the runway show. Many of these pieces still bear model names or line-up numbers on the inside.

Description: A striking Pierre Cardin men's jacket crafted in lightweight cotton and distinguished by its bold arrangement of multicolored vertical stripes. Shades of sky blue, coral, sage green, cream, and tan are combined in an asymmetrical composition that reflects Cardin's enduring interest in graphic design and geometric balance. The blouson silhouette features a pointed collar, snap-front closure, and an integrated waistband with an adjustable self-belt detail, creating a structured yet relaxed fit. A single chest pocket is cleverly cut with the stripes running horizontally, adding visual contrast and emphasizing the garment's playful construction. Full sleeves gathered into buttoned cuffs enhance the volume of the silhouette, while the precise pattern matching demonstrates the meticulous craftsmanship of the Pierre Cardin atelier. An expressive example of Cardin menswear, blending vibrant color, architectural pattern placement, and sporty tailoring into a distinctly modern design.

Condition: Gently worn with no obvious damage.
