A Menswear Grail, Rare $13,500 BRUNELLO CUCINELLI Burgundy Nappa Leather Jacket – Tom Ford, Purple Label Aesthetic

Cucinelli is renowned for their quality, which is reflected in the elite prices at the top of the industry. The detail and quality on this everywhere you look are insane. Their butter soft nappa leather jackets aren’t cheap; Cucinelli is right up at the Zenith. It can give you pause when these all retail for $13,500 w/tax (see reference), however, seeing what goes into crafting these masterpieces (Google “Meet the Makers, Brunello Cucinelli” by MRPORTER – see reference photos) you’ll understand.

In all the years of following CUCINELLI on the market and assembling an archive of looks, this burgundy with contrast tan suede accents throughout is an absolute stunner – it was hand picked by Brunello to lead multiple ad campaigns this last year!

The details throughout are Godly:
– The gleaming Cucinelli branded press studs throughout
– The gleaming double zips option to close and also wear half up / half down when sitting or like the Italians do showcasing their sprezzatura!
– The amazing suede storm flap option built into the neck underneath the collar.
– The special Cucinelli leather display sewn inside the neck explaining what went into creating this piece.
– The stunning super soft nappa leather.
– The snaps at the wrist with suede lining inside if you want to wear them rolled back for added contrast.

These high end luxury field jackets are one of the coolest, most time-tested looks out there – worn by a “who’s who” of A-List style icons regularly featured in GQ, Esquire, MR PORTER and similar. I’m shocked more guys don’t have them in their arsenal. Every time I wear them I receive compliments, especially from women!

I’m selling this for a friend and have this as well. As soon as I tried it on it came alive and it was so distinctive from anything else in my collection I sold a favorite piece and had to add it! Please note due to the soft nature of the nappa leather there are some little marks in the leather that add to the masculine patina it will develop (I have one of these purchased brand new with tags and it has the same; it’s just a natural element to the piece). Despite my affinity for TOM FORD, I’ve acquired a number of Cucinelli pieces, all of which maintained this elite level of construction. His catalogs are works of art, and everything he does is summed up in this quote below...
