Jean Paul Gaultier vintage military-inspired jacket, circa 1996-1999

From Jean Paul Gaultier’s cult 90s line, this jacket riffs on military utilitarian attire but w/ a hyper-stylized twist. Cut in camel cotton twill, it features chevron flap pockets, a fitted waistline that sharpens the silhouette, & a standing band collar recalling army & Air Force uniforms. Fluoro-orange contrast stitching runs throughout, echoed in the lining & pocket trims (a classic 90s hyper Gaultier touch). While a removable Velcro armband, etched w/ Gaultier insignia, nods to flight-squadron patches. Copper-toned buttons are stamped w/ the period’s iconic JPG cross logo. This archival statement piece captures Gaultier’s playful twist on uniforms & more importantly its role in subculture, transforming the mundane into something cheeky & enduringly collectible. Size 38IT, approx a S. In very good vintage condition, wear consistent with age.
