Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and 1980s red and black houndstooth New Wave jacket with gold-tone buttons and statement contrast sleeves
This standout piece from the mid-to-late 1980s captures the bold graphic sensibility of the New Wave movement, defined by its exaggerated silhouette and sharp contrasts. The jacket features a vivid red and black houndstooth wool-blend body, framed by structured red cotton-blend sleeves with an intentionally oversized cut. The high funnel collar and strong shoulder line create a striking silhouette, typical of the era’s avant-garde tailoring. Ribbed knit cuffs and hem in charcoal grey with red striping anchor the look, while the front is finished with a row of large gold-tone embossed buttons that add polish. Fully lined and medium-weight, this piece exemplifies the theatrical and architectural approach to outerwear seen across 1980s subculture and underground fashion scenes.
