Up for sale here is an excellent piece from the Agnes B label. Long well-regarded in both France and Japan, Agnes B has held a cult following most other places I believe. She’s been at it since the mid 1970s, infusing a very French look into her designs. She produces with a very consistent aesthetic, using high quality materials and attention to detail like the best designers. She’s definitely well worth looking checking out in more detail if you’re not super familiar with her.
This is one of Agnes B’s many iterations of the classic blazer. It’s done here in classic 1960s style with a three button closure and a really nice 100% wool fabric. This is a medium weight jacket in my opinion, where this is not a super heavy wool but it is still pretty insulating. Details are pretty traditional for the most part, where we have two large side pockets, a chest pocket and no rear vent. Interior is fully lined in acetate in the body and curpo in the arms. Overall, fit aims for a classic look, not super slim or incredibly baggy, but going for that sweet spot in the middle where you can match it with pretty much anything.
Size is labeled a 48 and fits true (like a standard medium). I measure the chest at 20”, shoulders at 17.5”, length at 30” from the base of the neck, and sleeves at 25” from the shoulder. The jacket comes in used but good shape. There is a bit of wear on the neckline and two small snags on the right sleeve (see pics). Otherwise no issues. Made in France.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
