Originally introduced under Hedi Slimane's creative tenure at Saint Laurent Paris around 2013 to 2014, the Teddy jacket became one of the definitive luxury menswear garments of the 2010s. Crafted from rich black virgin wool with contrasting striped ribbed trims and white leather accents framing the shoulders, it drew directly from vintage 1950s varsity and rockabilly aesthetics. Slimane revolutionized modern luxury tailoring by subverting classic collegiate staples into rock-and-roll icons. This piece continues to be a staple collector silhouette with enduring appeal in the designer resale market.
