He has never staged a conventional show, makes very little, and treats each skin with techniques of his own: object-dyeing finished garments, rubber-coating, stitch-free bonding and the use of unusual hides such as kangaroo and bison. Kangaroo is prized for being far stronger than cowhide at a fraction of the weight, which allows his jackets to drape like cloth while still taking on deep, permanent creasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the LM\/2699 jacket in kangaroo leather. The colour is a shifting grey-green, darker in the folds and lighter where the surface has been polished by handling, so the whole jacket looks weathered rather than simply dyed, in the manner of the house’s garment-dyed leathers. A tall funnel collar stands up around the neck and closes with a tab; below it a concealed, offset front fastening keeps the face of the jacket clean. Set-in slanted pockets sit low on the body, and the inside is lined in polyester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 74 cm long with a generous 57.5 cm chest, the cut is a long, straight jacket that falls below the hip, roomy enough for layering over a heavy knit, true to the large tagged size 56.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoell’s leathers are made in tiny numbers and seldom resurface in Japan, and kangaroo pieces in a large size are scarcer still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carol Christian Poell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Season not confirmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e LM\/2699 kangaroo leather jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shell kangaroo leather; lining polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey-green, mottled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy (believed; not visible in photographs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder 49.5 cm · Chest (pit to pit) 57.5 cm · Sleeve 66.5 cm · Length 74 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; graded B.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight scuffs in places, mainly on raised creases and edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe creased, mottled surface is part of the original finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo tears or structural issues noted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/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.
