circa 1998–2000

A highly collectible sculptural jacket from Jean Paul Gaultier’s late-1990s mainline, defined by the house’s iconic padded tubular hem that wraps around the body in a continuous architectural line. Crafted in sleek black fabrication, the piece features a structured stand collar, concealed magnetic closures, a full-length zipper for adjustable shaping, and integrated pockets that preserve the clean uninterrupted silhouette. The rare tube-hem construction, significantly harder to find in jacket form than in the knit versions, reflects Gaultier’s peak experimentation with volume, structure, and technical fastening during this period.
