Ultimate Rare $8,700 w/tax TOM FORD Ivory Leather Perforated Jacket, Incredible Details, Made In Italy
This is a truly stunning luxe piece from my favorite TOM FORD. This was my favorite look that season which Tom personally selected to lead the ad campaigns (see reference). It’s always an attention-getter crafted with an elevated perforated back and sleeves for airflow and to keep you cool. Even for TOM FORD, this went for a premium above his other leather and suede jackets. It’s a masterful standout piece evident from the price and worth the investment!
This has my favorite TF design element, the signature grab handle at the back of the neck (looks amazing when the collar is worn up). The attention to detail on this execution is Godly. You can see just how eye-catching this piece is. Of course white goes with everything in your closet and I love the intricate light grey cuffs and waistband for a more fitted look. It’s the perfect piece to wear on date nights to make an impression. It looks equally great dressed up like the campaigns, or down with jeans and a t-shirt – you can’t miss!
It’s exceedingly difficult selling these pieces for friends with taste and enviable collections because I want to buy all of them, including this one! I’m just out of room after my fiance and her daughter moved in.
GQ said it best: If money is truly no object, Tom Ford makes holy-grail-level leather jackets so beautiful they bring a tear to the eye. That’s just what the best jackets for men do. They make you stand a little taller, speak with a little more conviction, and seem altogether more alluring. They are like the pill Bradley Cooper takes in the movie Limitless, only they unlock genuine cool instead of psychotic ambition. Of course, confidence of that magnitude doesn’t come cheap. These jackets will keep you feeling like your very best self for years and years to come.
Mr Tom Ford’s design philosophy is simple: don’t settle for anything less than perfection. And that maxim applies as much to a plain cotton T-shirt as it does a wool barathea tuxedo with all the trimmings. Achieving perfection, of course, is harder than it looks.
