Rare early-2000s Alexander McQueen tailored jacket in deep olive green, distinguished by an unusual wrap construction and contrasting pale blue satin trim.
The jacket is sharply tailored through the shoulders and torso, with elongated peaked lapels and a dramatically shaped waist. Rather than a conventional front fastening, the lower front is secured with long integrated self-fabric ties, allowing the jacket to wrap and cinch at the waist.
A pale blue satin-like facing runs continuously along the inner edge of the lapels and front opening, creating a striking contrast against the military olive wool. Two flap pockets sit at the waist, while the back is cleanly tailored with a pronounced cinched waist.
The sleeves are long and fitted, finished with four-button cuffs. Inside, the jacket retains the original Alexander McQueen / Made in Italy label and production tag.

Collector's note: The combination of military green tailoring, sharply controlled waist shaping and unusual wrap construction is particularly characteristic of McQueen's early-2000s approach to transforming traditional tailoring. Museums and auction archives document the importance of McQueen's Italian-made tailoring during this period, including his 2003–04 Scanners collection. National Gallery of Victoria
I would not assign this to a specific collection from the photographs alone. The 2002–04 dating is consistent with the garment's labeling and construction, but I would leave the exact season open unless we can match the model number.
