Vintage 1990s Italian Wool Overcoat Mario Zegna Fabric Double Breasted Navy Coat
This vintage men's overcoat was tailored using premium Mario Zegna wool fabric, woven in Trivero, Italy, one of the country's most respected textile-producing regions. Dating to approximately the late 1980s or early 1990s, the coat embodies classic Italian tailoring with clean lines, balanced proportions, and classic styling.
Crafted in a deep navy blue, the coat features a traditional double-breasted six-button front, broad notched lapels with subtle piped edges, welt pockets with flaps, buttoned cuffs, and a 16 1/2” centre rear vent for ease of movement. The interior is fully lined in black satin, allowing the coat to slip comfortably over a suit or sport jacket while providing an elegant finish.
The woven interior label identifies the fabric as Tessuto del Lanificio Mario Zegna S.p.A., Trivero, confirming that the wool cloth was woven by the renowned Italian Zegna textile mill. As was customary with premium Italian fabrics, the garment itself was tailored by an independent manufacturer or bespoke tailor rather than by Zegna.
Its classic styling makes this an exceptionally versatile overcoat that remains as appropriate today as when it was first made, whether worn over business attire, formalwear, or paired with contemporary casual clothing.

Very good condition. The wool presents beautifully with a subtle pebbled texture consistent with light use. The satin lining is clean overall.

The coat displays exceptionally well.
