Vintage Early 2000s Armani Collezioni Men's Black Wool Cashmere Overcoat Italy 44R

This is a vintage men's black wool and cashmere overcoat by Armani Collezioni, made in Italy, most likely dating to the early-to-mid 2000s. Tailored from a substantial fabric composed of 90% wool and 10% cashmere, the coat has a smooth, softly brushed surface and a deep black colour.

The coat has a long, tailored silhouette with slightly padded shoulders, a slightly shaped waist and a straight lower section. It features a traditional notched lapel collar with moderately broad lapels and a single-breasted front fastening with three dark buttons.

A welted breast pocket is positioned on the left chest, while two horizontal welt pockets are set at hip level. The long sleeves are finished with three small buttons at each cuff

The back is simply tailored with a centre seam extending from the collar to the hem and a long centre vent for ease of movement. The overall design is understated and elegant, combining traditional overcoat tailoring with the clean, tailored proportions associated with Armani menswear.

The wool and cashmere fabric has a dense, substantial feel with a smooth finish and a soft nap. The coat is fully lined in black viscose fabric, providing a comfortable interior and allowing it to slip easily over a suit or other clothing.

The original woven label reads Armani Collezioni – Made in Italy. An additional manufacturer's label identifies the model as CB07D0, with Italian size 44/R and production details. The coat was manufactured by Confezione di Matelica in Italy for Armani Collezioni.

Armani Collezioni was Giorgio Armani's tailored ready-to-wear line, introduced in 1979 as an alternative to the higher end Armani Black label.
