Celine by Hedi Slimane Leather Varsity Jacket 2E948131O, Tan and Black Cowhide with Celine Paris Patches, Size 44

Hedi Slimane’s Celine varsity jacket in all leather, reference 2E948131O: a tan cowhide body, black leather sleeves, Celine Paris script and ‘16’ appliqués, and cream-and-black striped rib.

The Piece

The American college jacket is one of Hedi Slimane’s recurring obsessions, part of the West Coast youth culture he has documented in his photographs for decades. At Celine he reworked it as a luxury piece, and the all-leather version is the most substantial of them.

Reference 2E948131O is cut from cowhide throughout: a tan-brown body with a naturally varied, slightly waxy surface, and black leather sleeves. Snap buttons close the front, welt pockets are trimmed in black leather, and the knit collar, cuffs and hem are striped in black and cream in a wool blend. On the left sleeve, a ‘Celine Paris’ script patch; on the right, the number 16. Inside it is padded with polyester and quilted, with cupro sleeve linings and the white Celine Paris label. It was made in Italy.

The cut is boxy and slightly cropped, with a 59 cm chest and 52 cm shoulder, so the tagged 44 fits a men’s medium. It wears best with simple pieces: a white T-shirt, narrow black jeans and boots, the uniform Slimane has refined since the early 2000s.

Leather varsity jackets from Slimane’s Celine are among the label’s most collected pieces, and they age beautifully as the tan body darkens with wear.
