Gucci by Tom Ford AW2002 Black Shearling Jacket with Long-Hair Trim, Size 38, Made in Italy

A black shearling jacket from Tom Ford's Autumn/Winter 2002 Gucci collection, suede outside with long-haired fleece at the collar, cuffs and seams, cut with a fitted waist.

The Piece

Shearling was central to Tom Ford's Gucci, appearing in almost every winter collection from 1995 to 2004 in versions from cropped jackets to floor-length coats. Autumn/Winter 2002 worked it in dark, sensual shapes, and these pieces are now among the most collected of his Gucci outerwear.

This jacket is black suede shearling with long, glossy black fleece turned out at the wide collar and lapels, at the deep cuffs, and along the front edge and horizontal seams, where it forms soft ridges across the body. It has a concealed front closure, set-in sleeves and a slightly flared lower panel. Inside, an embossed black leather Gucci patch and a Vera Pelle size 38 label, Made in Italy.

Tagged Italian 38, it measures 40 cm across the shoulder and 46 cm pit to pit, a neat fit for a UK 6 to 8 or US 2 to 4.

Shearling from the Tom Ford years has held its appeal because of its cut and the quality of the skins. Well kept, this jacket remains as warm and dramatic as when it was first shown, and it pairs as easily with jeans as with evening clothes.
