Armani/Archivio SS1979 double-breasted jacket

This double-breasted jacket is the new edition of a style from the SS1979 Collection, a reinterpretation that is part of an outfit consisting of a jacket, shirt, trousers and tie. The look, featured in Vogue 1979, encapsulates a key step in the early years of the brand's creative journey. The garment stands out for its precise yet fluid construction, defined by the double-breasted structure with lapels and by raglan sleeves that soften the line of the shoulders. The elasticated hem introduces an element that lightens the garment's rigour, creating a balance between the tailored attitude and a more casual spirit. Made from leather, it exudes a rich and deep materiality, while maintaining a slender but never rigid silhouette. The Spring/Summer 1979 collection marks a decisive return to the codes of elegant tailoring inspired by the allure of 1930s American cinema, where the fit is distinguished by broad shoulders and slender lines that define a sophisticated and authoritative male figure.
