• This jacket has the Christian Dior-New York label in it and is considered to be demi-couture from this time period of Dior's history. These where made for the American market and were most often based on the Haute Couture runway designs with many of the same high standard finishes that Haute Couture pieces incorporated. 
• It was made under the creative direction of Marc Bohan
• This would be an incredible piece for any collector and it is almost shocking how modern it feels despite its actual age.
• The jacket is made out of a butter soft deep mustard coloured suede that is very pliable. It is perhaps a touch more pastel in person than how it photoed here.
• There is no collar. It simply has a band of the same suede that runs around the back of the neck and all the way down the front.
• The shoulders are soft and slightly sloped and the sleeves are short. Each sleeve is finished with the same band of the suede around their ends that the front has.
• The jacket has no closures so if you wear it without the belt it has an almost cardigan feel to it. It skims over the bust, past the waist, and then widens out as it nears the bottom hem.
• It comes with its original belt that is backed in a leather and stamped with the Dior name. You can wrap it fully around you or leave the front partially open and use the belt to add shape.
• I love the three top set flap pockets. There is one tiny one at the top of the chest and then one sits on each hip. All three pockets are fully functional.
• This is just an incredible and rare piece of Dior history.
• The jacket is fully lined in a matching colour silky rayon. It has no closures and can be worn with or without the belt. The belt is a slip buckle, so can be adjusted as needed. There is perhaps the slightest bit of rubbing to the suede at the more common touch points and a couple of tiny little darkened spots on the suede but it is very minor and it adds to the perfect patina this vintage piece has. Please see the photo after the label shot.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below. Because there is no front closures and you can wrap and cinch with the belt that should fit a range of sizes.
