Valentino Gray Houndstooth Wool Jacket - Circa Early 90's

Sharp yet quietly elegant, this vintage Valentino Boutique blazer exemplifies the house’s refined approach to suiting in the early 1990s. Tailored in Switzerland — a rare origin even among Valentino collectors — the piece reflects the exceptional standards of continental craftsmanship, where structure and softness meet in perfect proportion. Cut from a tightly woven grey and black houndstooth wool, the surface appears almost solid from afar, revealing its intricate detail only up close. The silhouette is classically single-breasted with softly padded shoulders, notch lapels, and four-button cuffs — a subtle yet confident nod to Valentino Garavani’s signature architectural elegance. Inside, the jacket is fully lined in 100% rayon/cupro Bemberg — a silk-alternative prized for its breathability and fluid movement — embroidered throughout with the Valentino “V” monogram in vertical stripes, a quiet display of luxury for the wearer alone. Sized IT 56(US 46), it drapes effortlessly as an oversized statement layer, equally suited to daywear or evening tailoring. A rare Swiss-made piece for collectors of fine menswear, minimal tailoring, and the enduring codes of Valentino.
