Back-Pleat leather jacket from Yohji Yamamoto, Autumn/Winter 1995-1996. I lack the vocabulary to properly describe this amazing piece of art, but I shall try. The dark green leather is soft and smooth, which makes it malleable and creates a certain fluidity. The lining is a beautiful and subtle red plaid. The main particularity of this jacket is the construction of the back: longer than the front, multiple layers are hidden in a large pleat coming from the top. It looks absolutely beautiful on the body. The definition of elegance. It is in good condition. Take note that the lining is torn on the inside at the cuffs.
