A black satin varsity jacket from Louis Vuitton, its chest spelled out in crystal-set LV initials and cursive lettering, with an Eiffel Tower patch glittering on the sleeve. Size 56, worn once, offered with its garment bag and branded hanger.
The Piece
The house of Louis Vuitton has long treated the varsity jacket as a canvas for craft, and this example turns the American campus classic into evening wear. The shell is a glossy black nylon that catches the light like satin. Across the chest the famous LV initials appear in dense glass crystals, joined to the four-pointed monogram flower and followed by flowing script that completes the word LVers.
On the left sleeve a round patch carries the Eiffel Tower, also in crystals, with the LV mark at its heart, a quiet nod to the maison’s Paris origins. The collar, cuffs and hem are cut in ribbed knit with contrasting stripes, the front closes with black snaps, and the lining is a smooth black quilted fabric with padding for warmth.
Measured flat: shoulder width 60 cm (23.6 in), body width 70 cm (27.6 in), length 69 cm (27.2 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
