The Holy Grail Of Leather Jackets! It DOES NOT Get Better Than This... These Iconic Leathers Were Custom Made For Musicians And Rock Gods In The 60s - By The East West Musical Instruments Co. Of San Francisco - Today, They Are THE MOST Coveted And Collected Leather Apparel Out There... Prized By Music Lovers, Vintage Fanatics, And Fashionistas The World Over!
The East West Guys Called This Jacket The "Wren"... All Of The Pieces They Made Had Their Names Hand-Written On The Tag, You See... This One Signed 'Wren'... Done In A Most Beautiful Matte Caramel Leather... SOFT AS BUTTER... Softer, Even... All Slim-Fitting And Rare, Being A Girl's Jacket... Beautifully Designed With All The Notching Around The Hem And Cuffs... Just Exquisitely Finished, Like All Of East West's Work... Looks Amazing...! Two Slash Pockets Are Hidden In The Curving Seams On The Front Of The Jacket...
The Seams Are What Take This Jacket To Masterpiece Level... They Are Actually OVERLAPPING Sections Of Leather... This Has Been Exquisitely Pieced Together, Section By Section... On The Front, Back, And Even The Wonderful Sleeves... These Jackets Were Most Often Custom Made To Order And Were All HAND CRAFTED, This One Is Another Outstanding Example Of East West's Couture-Quality Workmanship And Attention To Detail...
Has Its Original YKK Brass Zipper... Top Stitched In Cocoa Thread... Lined In Deep Brown Nylon Taffeta...Lining Is Pristine...
Fantastic Condition For Its Age... Looks To Have Been Worn Maybe Once Or Twice With No Signs Of Wear To Speak Of -BUT There Are A Few Small SEMI DARK-ISH Watermark Spots On The Front ( Can See In Photo's )And One At Center Back... One Sleeve Has A Few Small Watermarks - All This Is Insignificant To Us... This Jacket Is A Collector's Item... It's A Vintage Treasure, And It Still Rocks So Hard... And Alexander Mcqueen Is Showing A Tiny, Cropped, Scallopped Caramel Leather Jacket This Season- Beautifully Shot On Kate Moss For W Magazine... Hmmm... Wonder What Inspired Him?
