Vintage Givenchy Structured Cotton Jacket Late 1990s Black L

Paris, somewhere between the tail end of the 1990s and the first burst of the new millennium — sharp tailoring meets a flash of gold at the Givenchy atelier, as Alexander McQueen pulls the house toward something leaner, more angular. This structured black jacket is cut in dense cotton with a subtle metallic glint woven through the fabric, the surface catching light along the clean lines of the shoulders and waist. The gold-tone buttons, each engraved with ‘GIVENCHY PARIS’ and the 4G motif, anchor the front and cuffs with a precise, almost architectural punctuation.

Edges are trimmed in tonal satin, extending to a black satin lining that slides easily over layers. Inside, two interior slip pockets offer function without breaking the silhouette. The jacket holds its structure firmly, showing only minor rubbing at the edges — a trace of regular use, nothing to distract from its sharp profile.

McQueen’s tenure at Givenchy (1996–2001) brought a tension between the house’s disciplined heritage and his own disruptive hand. The crisp tailoring of this piece, paired with signature gold hardware, holds something of that moment: a classic form, charged with a new energy. The mannequin normally wears a size M.
