WEARING A FABULOUS VINTAGE LEATHER JITROIS COAT//very excited about this piece

Fashion
Nov 30, 200859 Comments

I am wearing a vintage Jean Claude Jitrois leather jacket that my mom recently bought on eBay. It is totally amazing and we're both really excited to have this piece in our collective vintage archive!!

It has beautiful gold detailing, as you can see, in the shape of leaves. I took so many more pictures of it today (and some other things) but the pictures I took just didn't turn out well…some other day when I have better light I will show you close up pictures of it. The leather is gorgeous and there is even detailing on the inside of the tails. The detailing and tails give it the same kind of military feeling as some of the jackets in my last post.

Today I am wearing it with Y-3 wool pants and gold-green satin Marni buckle pumps, and an American Apparel grey tank top and a load of gold chains (not visible in this photo) isn't our new Christmas tree pretty? We haven't decorated it yet because we've yet to make our ornaments.

    You look gorgeous! The leather looks so supple. You should have definitely included a frontal shot.
    The marnis are amazingly gorgeous, and the christmas tree is pretty killer. Jealous on all accounts.

    Is it just me or does the Christmas tree match the floor?
    The detailing on that jacket is amazing! I wish there was a front angle shot too though.
    Jitrois always reminds me of rainy days, from this one time i was caught in the rain outside the boutique in the region of sloane square.
    Naturally, we all covet the shoes.

    Bonjour Jane!
    I love reading Sea of Shoes, and absolutely adore your style. I was writing with a question about some Dries Van Noten’s you share with your mother [the multi-colored strappy sandals]. Did you buy them to size? Or go up in half/full number? Lastly, did the leather straps loosen any as leather often does with wear.
    I anticipate your response.
    Best wishes,
    Fashion Intel
    P.S. I’ve have a photo of the shoes in my most recent post, if you need some reference.

    Just found your blog and am completely in awe of your shoe collection. I am now one very jealous girl. That jacket is gorgeous and suits you so well. And so are the Marni shoes, but tell me, how on earth do you manage to walk in heels that high? I think I would fall over taking my first step.

    Wow you totally have inspired me to copy this look somehow, I would totally complete this outfit with the gorgeous diamond earrings I bought from http://www.idonowidont.com and look like a fashionista like you at me and my fiance’s upcoming Christmas party.
    Your style is chic-tastic, great photo!

    I’ve been following your blog for months and Jane, I’m going to be honest. I think it’s one of the best in the fashion blogosphere. Your clothes are magnificent, but the way you style them really sets you apart. Your entries are also delightful–too many fashion bloggers try to come off as perfect. And I know you get this a lot, but I adore your shoes.
