Pieces from that era, especially leather, have become harder to find with every year, and genuinely unworn examples are rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a belted motorcycle jacket in black buffalo leather, the hide chosen for its deep, irregular grain and natural sheen. The cut follows the classic racing jacket: a low stand collar with a snap tab, a front zip under a snap-down storm flap, a flapped chest pocket and two lower flapped pockets, zipped cuffs and a full self-belt with a darkened metal buckle. The hardware, including Riri zips and Gucci-engraved snaps and pulls, has a smoked, aged finish that Ford favoured for his leather. It is lined in cupro and weighs about 1.6 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries the Gucci Group Japan care tag and was made in Italy. A similar but more heavily zipped version was shown on the runway; this calmer model is believed not to have appeared there, which keeps it close to vintage riding jackets and easy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 48 fits a men’s medium to large, with a 54 cm chest and a slim, waisted line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gucci (Tom Ford)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn-winter 2004 (attributed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122316 XN063, belted buffalo leather motorcycle jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo leather; lining 100% cupro (Bemberg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\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 48 (men’s M to L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder 50.5 cm · Chest (pit to pit) 54 cm · Sleeve 60 cm · Length 74.5 cm (waist 49 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\u003eUnworn: tried on only, with no signs of wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather supple with a natural sheen; no scuffs or creases of note.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged-finish hardware as made, not wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLining clean; all zips, snaps and the belt complete.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS\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.
