Archival vintage original HELMUT LANG classic black mens Ballistic nylon raincoat. Size Eur 52 or US 42. Made in Italy. Helmut Lang mac raincoat from A/W 2001-2002. In excellent used condition. Made in Italy. RRP: $2480 The balancing act of creating interesting garments while maintaining a refined classicism has always been one of Helmut Lang's fortes, and this collection took his detail-oriented approach to new heights. On a first glance, pieces like this raincoat seem almost archetypal in their formality: a concealed button closure, a classic point collar and simple waist pockets. However, upon a closer exploration it becomes clear that every feature of this piece is the result of unconventional design and painstaking attention to detail. First of all, the fabrics: The shell is made from textured, durable and abrasion resistant black ballistic nylon fabric. The cut is semi-fitted with enough room for a blazer. Pronounced shoulders and a slightly tapered waist create a handsome masculine silhouette. Most interestingly, the shoulders have an intricate 'half-raglan' shape: the front is set-in like typical sleeves while the back has a floating raglan construction like traditional trench coats. The two techniques are disrupted on the top of the shoulder by a seam that reaches the cuffs. While adding a sophisticated point of interest, this intricate construction affords a greater range of movement. Further details: The concealed placket on the coat's front is hand-finished with a separate lining. All buttons are made from matte tonal resin in line with the piece's minimalist aesthetic. This classic piece is a spot-on example of Lang's contemporary tailoring. Its effortless aesthetic, pleasant textures and precise lines make for the perfect everyday staple without compromising on style.Its idiosyncratic detailing and luxe fabrication give it a certain elegance that makes it highly relevant and a modern collectors piece. In good condition. Material: 100% Ballistic Nylon Fully lined with vertical quilted fabric. Two waist pockets and one inside chest pocket. Measurements taken with coat laid flat (approx. +/- .5") Chest- armpit to armpit across front: 23" Sleeve length from top of shoulder seam to end of cuff: 26.5" Overall length from base of collar down center back to bottom: 40" Take a look at all my other men's designer pieces listed.
