COLLECTOR'S HOLY GRAIL: HAUTE JEANERIE COLLECTION C 023 !!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the serious archival fashion collector: An exceptionally rare, museum-worthy outerwear grail from the absolute creative launch phase of Jean Paul Gaultier's denim revolution. Documented and authenticated via the internal production tag to **Collection C 023 (Circa Fall\/Winter 1993)**, this piece stems from Gaultier’s legendary early 90s period. It is a monumental manifestation of how the \"Enfant Terrible\" of fashion blended traditional European silhouettes with raw 90s street subcultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Design, Cut \u0026amp; Matador Architecture\u003cbr\u003eThe jacket is engineered in an extreme cropped bolero silhouette, directly inspired by the traditional Spanish bullfighter’s **Chaquetilla** jacket. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* **The Collar Deconstruction:** The collar points are adorned with two striking, vibrant red patches displaying a cryptic Roman numeral layout. At macro-inspection, the patches reveal a hyper-luxurious execution: a fiery, light-reflecting **red silk-satin base topped with a 3D tactile velvet-flocked (Chenille) black typography**. Masterfully hidden within the \"IIX \/ XII\" lettering, the \"X\" is shaped from **two crossed pirate-style bones**, subtly mirroring the house's rare early skull iconography.\u003cbr\u003e* **The Raw Edge Finish:** Breaking traditional tailoring metrics, the lower baseline terminates in an intentional, factory-finished deconstructed raw edge with frayed detailing, anchored by a heavy white decorative basting stitch.\u003cbr\u003e* **The Tailoring Details:** True to Gaultier’s uncompromising focus on construction, the interior cuffs are lined with a classic white-and-blue shirting stripe, specifically engineered to be rolled up to display a stark avant-garde contrast. Completed with heavy red contrast stitching throughout the rigid blue denim paneling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Hardware \u0026amp; Branding Parameters:** The single-breasted front and chest pockets are anchored by a full suite of heavy-duty, premium satin silver-tone metallic button closures. Each button is meticulously engineered featuring an embossed central \"Swiss Cross \/ Medical Cross\" iconographic relief surrounded by a textured framework and the iconic *GAULTIER JEAN'S* circular spellout typography—an ultra-premium archival specification exclusive to Gaultier’s early 1993 workshop productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe archival main label is meticulously applied directly to the denim backing utilizing a robust, factory-original white zig-zag contrast stitch framework, directly underlaid with the pristine white factory tracking tag reading **Collection C 023**.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Textile \u0026amp; Material Science\u003cbr\u003eConstructed from an ultra-premium, heavy-weight **100% Rigid Cotton Denim**. This traditional, non-stretch java-indigo denim fabric provides immense structural memory, ensuring the dramatic cropped boxy shape holds its exact architectural boundaries when worn open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Curator's Condition \u0026amp; Transparency Report\u003cbr\u003e**Condition:** Excellent Archival Vintage Condition\u003cbr\u003eThe rigid blue denim chassis retains full, deep indigo color density with beautiful structural integrity. The internal \"Haute Jeanerie\" Eiffel Tower label and the C 023 matrix tag remain entirely perfect with zero thread fraying or discoloration. The velvet-flocked red satin collar patches are immaculate with zero balding or surface wear.\u003cbr\u003e*Transparency Note:* Upon close curatorial inspection, there is a minor, pin-sized vintage wear mark underneath the collar flap, which remains completely invisible when styled with the collar folded down. Furthermore, there are two extremely faint, minor age spots on the lower back panel, only visible under sharp macro-studio lighting. Neither compromises the breathability, wearability, or spectacular investment-grade display value of this piece. Fully dry-cleaned and ozone-sanitized in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Details \u0026amp; Sizing\u003cbr\u003e* **Brand\/House:** Jean Paul Gaultier (Jean's Tailored Line)\u003cbr\u003e* **Era:** Verifiable 1993 Archive (Collection C 023 \/ Eiffel Tower Label)\u003cbr\u003e* **Production:** Fabricated in Italy by NEO RES S.r.l.\u003cbr\u003e* **Material:** 100% Rigid Cotton Denim\u003cbr\u003e* **Marked Size:** \"T M\" (Lettrage Medium)\u003cbr\u003e* *Curator's Fit Advice:** Vintage designer parameters run narrow. This piece fits beautifully like a modern International Size Small (S) if buttoned up, or an adaptive Medium (M) if styled open. It is designed to drape dramatically over high-waisted tailored trousers, corsets, or vintage silk slip dresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Exact Flat Measurements\u003cbr\u003e*(Measured flat and unbuttoned)*\u003cbr\u003e* **Shoulder to Shoulder:** 40 cm \/ 15.7\"\u003cbr\u003e* **Armpit to Armpit (Chest):** 48 cm \/ 18.9\"\u003cbr\u003e* **Total Length (Back):** 39 cm \/ 15.4\" (Extreme avant-garde cropped fit)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"novum ex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53612243222875,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/2922\/9403\/files\/il_fullxfull.7785519099_5qc0.jpg?v=1784295480","url":"https:\/\/novum-ex-vetere-vintage.com\/en-it\/products\/matador-style-archival-jean-paul-gaultier-chaquetilla-jacket-90s-haute-jeanerie-cropped-bolero-denim-red-patches-italy-s-m","provider":"Novum ex vetere Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
