Hermès Reversible Bomber Jacket, Equestrian Bits Scarf Print, Brown and Pale Grey, Size 50, Made in France

A reversible Hermès blouson from Véronique Nichanian’s menswear: one face a brown carré print of horse bits and curb chains, the other a quiet pale grey technical shell, in size 50.

The Piece

Since 1988 Véronique Nichanian has dressed the Hermès man, and the reversible blouson is one of her signatures: a silk-scarf design carried onto outerwear, paired with a plain side for days when the print should stay hidden. The idea goes straight back to the house’s saddlery roots, and the bit-and-chain motifs on this jacket are drawn from the same harness room that first made Hermès famous.

The printed side sets silver-grey bits, snaffles, curb chains and stirrup irons against a deep chocolate ground, banded with navy ribbon motifs. Across the back a large circular medallion of crossed bits and chains sits as the centrepiece, signed Hermès Paris, exactly as it would on a 90 cm carré. Turn it inside out and the jacket becomes a pale grey-blue bomber with clean zipped pockets, a soft stand-up rib collar and gathered hem.

The shell is a light, stretch nylon and polyurethane cloth with real give, made in France and unlined, so it works from early spring through to autumn. The double-ended zip runs both ways with Hermès-engraved pullers, and the rib knit at collar, cuffs and hem is a cotton blend that holds its shape. Two zipped pockets sit on each face.

Size 50 corresponds to a men’s large to extra large, with a generous chest and a slightly cropped length that sits at the hip. It is the kind of piece that reads as understated grey in the city and as pure Hermès the moment it is turned.
