This shoulder-grazing oversized batwing jacket captures the avant-garde spirit of 1980s fashion. Crafted from a fluid metallic silver and black fabric, this vintage piece makes a bold artistic statement.

The exaggerated billowing sleeves epitomize the slouchy batwing silhouette championed by designers like Claude Montanna. Creating a cape-like silhouette, the sleeves dwarf the arms for an avant-garde, anti-conformist look.

Wear it open and loose to allow the metallic fabric to shimmer and flow with your movements. The oversized, languid fit provides a relaxed contrast to the eye-catching metallic sheen.

As an authentic design from the 1980s, this jacket offers a portal back to the experimental era when deconstruction and asymmetry challenged the minimalism of the 1990s.

Pair it with an all-black ensemble and heeled ankle boots for an edgy downtown vibe. Or layer it over romantic dresses and skirts to offset the stark metallic hues.

This rare vintage find evokes the nonchalant glamour of 80s innovators like Montanna. So wear it with confidence - let the standout sleeves billow dramatically and make an artistic statement.

 Suitable for size 8-14

Size Guide

We take pride in providing accurate measurements with an approximation of modern UK with an International equivalent size chart below sizing to help you when choosing  your purchase and  will fit properly  as often vintage sizes differ significantly from modern sizes. 

It is also very helpful if you are aware of your own particular dimensions. If you're not sure, you may easily approximate them by measuring an item of clothes from your own wardrobe that fits well and is laid flat.

Waist - Measured by doubling the width from one side of the waistband to the other.
