A Louis Vuitton varsity jacket in saturated royal blue wool, its back dominated by a circular chenille emblem of flowing green, white and navy contour lines. Size 44, with textured grey sleeves, a leather monogram patch on the chest and an unworn look throughout.
The Piece
The varsity jacket is an American schoolyard garment, and here it is reinterpreted in the language of the Paris house. The back carries a large round chenille patch in which the initials LV dissolve into topographic contour lines, worked in green, white and shades of blue with fine white cord outlines. On the chest sits a bold LV emblem in blue leather with a bright green outline, and a Louis Vuitton Malletier oval patch marked From Paris Since 1854 is stitched nearby.
Script embroidery on the sleeve reads Blurry Vision Of A Bright Future, Fantastic Imagination, and chenille lettering and a monogram flower appear on the grey sleeves. The body closes with snap fastenings, including one white and one metallic button engraved with the house name, and the cuffs and hem are ribbed in blue with white stripes. The lining is vivid blue satin, with a small silver-toned chain at the neck.
The size label reads 44 and is marked made in Italy, with the reference RM232 CAW HPL66E on the care label. Recorded measurements, taken flat: shoulder 49 cm (19.3 in), chest width 54 cm (21.3 in), length 67 cm (26.4 in). Each figure is taken by hand, so please allow 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) of variance.
