An Yves Saint Laurent black velvet jacket from c. 1974 featuring fitted shoulders with beautiful detailing and billowing sleeves with buttoned cuffs (three buttons each). Apart from the narrow shoulders, the cut is rather wide and slightly flared, featuring a small collar, a buttoned front and side pockets. Hip-length. The fabric is most probably cotton (material tag is missing), and the jacket is fully lined. Made in France. Reference picture by Gianpaolo Barbieri, Vogue Paris 1974, available upon request.
