Arthur Orlans (France) 70s, 6x2 Closure, High-Gorged Lapel, Ancienne Maison SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos A 4x2 double-breasted silhouette cut for quiet command—the French blazer melds anatomical tailoring with postwar civic dignity and formal restraint.

 The Arthur Orlans double-breasted jacket stands as a paragon of mid-century French tailoring—a garment that communicates intellectual gravitas and professional command without resorting to theatricality. Constructed by a maison bearing the “Ancienne” designation, the piece originates from a tailoring tradition steeped in discretion, internal craftsmanship, and anatomical shaping, distinct from the ostentatious rigidity of British suiting or the expressive nonchalance of Italian sprezzatura. The house’s approach is evident in every aspect of this garment’s architecture: high-gorged peak lapels shaped through pad stitching and canvas interfacing, micro-patterned wool executed in a finely tuned twill weave, and an overall silhouette that imposes quiet authority through proportion rather than embellishment. With a structured 6x2 double-breasted closure, padded shoulders, and full canvas interlining, the jacket embodies the constructional codes of French formalwear during the transitional period from the 1970s into the early 1980s. It is neither a relic of the 1950s nor a forerunner of the Wall Street exaggerations that followed—it is instead a synthesis of restraint and form.
