This beautifully crafted jacket was bought at the leather design shop in Paris. Their leather styles were especially designed for them.
There are no stains, no marks, no scuffs and no tears.
NOTE - The suede is not easy to photograph because it shines. The camera does not do justice to the colors and all the shiny details.
SUEDE - It has all over a shiny silver finish. This finish is distressed and has dark and light areas. They are not stains.
PATCHWORK - Designed with different kinds of leather. Some with a moire finish, some like a snakeskin finish, some in a silvery suede, some in a fluorescent turquoise blue. Some are bordered with an iridescent shiny silver trim, others with rhinestones.
Some of the gray patchwork has shades of blue in some pictures.
FRINGES - All in very good condition - none missing. On the exterior side of the suede they have a fluorescent turquoise blue finish.
SHOULDER PADS - Rounded large shoulder pads are under the lining. They are in the style of the 1980s / early 1990s.
LINING - This jacket is lined with a bluish gray silky fabric. No stains and no marks. In the pictures the color appears more blue than it is.
RAGLAN SLEEVE - The seams are partially covered with the patchwork.
COLLAR - No ring around the collar. Picture 8 - A couple of dark spots on the back of the collar, above the label - where the finish appears to have rubbed off. When worn they are not noticeable.
CLOSURE - Gray snaps on the front and sleeve cuffs.
GOLD TONE TAG CHAIN - in the back below the collar. The tag has Amphiboles Paris engraved on it. Chain and tag are bright and shiny with no scratches.
NOTE - Colors may appear lighter or darker according to your monitor setting.
