Saville’s artwork for Joy Division and New Order was cut into patches, panels and woven labels and set onto oversized tailoring, parkas and denim, a meeting of two bodies of work that had shaped each other for decades. The boxy black trucker, model 181-723, became one of the defining pieces of that collection and remains among the most sought-after Raf Simons garments of the New York years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Joy Division side of the story. On the front, a panel of Peter Saville’s 1979 Unknown Pleasures sleeve, the stacked waveform of a pulsar, hangs from the flap pocket beside an RS patch. Across the shoulders, JOY DIVISION 1977–1980 is printed in white above the green Substance logotype from the band’s 1988 compilation. The denim is a stretch blend of 96% cotton and 4% polyurethane, labelled 181-723-10033.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize S measures 67 cm at the shoulder and 89 cm pit to pit, an oversized fit on almost any frame. The Unknown Pleasures panel has cracked and lifted in places, the kind of wear that suits a record by Joy Division, and the black has softened to a lived-in charcoal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnknown Pleasures is perhaps the best-known record sleeve of its era, and this jacket places it alongside the Substance logotype in a way that ties together the band’s whole short history. It is the more graphic of the two Saville denim versions, and the one most often requested by music-minded collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raf Simons, with artwork by Peter Saville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring-summer 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e 181-723-10033, Denim Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96% cotton, 4% polyurethane denim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, white and green prints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder 67 cm · Chest (pit to pit) 89 cm · Sleeve 63 cm · Length 85 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jacket only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-owned with visible wear; overall fading to the black denim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCracking and lifting on the Unknown Pleasures panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFading and rubbing near both cuffs; fraying at the right cuff buttonhole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack print, RS patch and snaps intact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.
