Product: Chanel Cropped Double-Breasted Tweed Jacket in Black, Mustard Yellow & Rust, featuring oversized textile-covered buttons, a structured pointed collar, elbow-length sleeves and a sharply cropped boxy silhouette.
Designer: Karl Lagerfeld
Collection: Karl Lagerfeld-era Chanel Ready-to-Wear, exact collection currently unconfirmed. The original Chanel production label bearing the seasonal code and style reference has been removed, so the jacket has not been assigned a speculative date. Distinguished by its abbreviated proportions, graphic double-breasted construction and richly textured multicolour tweed, the design offers a bold reinterpretation of Chanel's traditional tailoring.

Cut in a deliberately cropped, structured silhouette, the jacket sits neatly through the shoulders before falling into a softly boxy body that finishes high at the waist. The elbow-length sleeves and broad pointed collar emphasise its graphic proportions, while the double-breasted front creates a distinctly architectural appearance. Please refer to the measurements above for the most accurate indication of fit.

- Lining: 100% silk.
- Buttons: 97% wool and 3% polyamide/nylon.

Design Features & Construction: Beautifully constructed from a densely woven Chanel tweed, the jacket combines a dark black-brown ground with closely spaced mustard yellow and rust-toned yarns, producing an exceptionally rich, almost pointillist surface when viewed at close range. The compact weave gives the jacket sufficient body to maintain its sculptural cropped silhouette while retaining the tactile softness associated with Chanel's signature tweeds.
The front is distinguished by an exaggerated double-breasted arrangement of oversized circular textile-covered buttons. Rather than conventional metal hardware, the buttons are integrated into the textile language of the jacket, creating a particularly graphic interpretation of traditional Chanel tailoring. A broad pointed collar frames the neckline, while elbow-length sleeves reinforce the abbreviated proportions of the design.
The interior is fully lined in black silk, providing a refined contrast to the richly textured exterior and reflecting the meticulous finishing characteristic of Chanel ready-to-wear.
Styling & Versatility: The sharply cropped proportions give this jacket an unusually contemporary character despite its archive provenance. Designed to sit at the natural waist, it works particularly well with high-waisted tailoring, wide-leg trousers, denim or a streamlined skirt, while the abbreviated sleeves allow jewellery and accessories to remain visible. The combination of mustard yellow, black, dark brown and subtle rust tones offers considerably more versatility than a conventional bright-yellow tweed, pairing particularly well with black, chocolate brown, camel and denim.
Collectability: A distinctive Karl Lagerfeld-era interpretation of the Chanel tweed jacket, combining the House's traditional textile craftsmanship with exaggerated proportions and unusually graphic double-breasted construction. The sharply cropped silhouette, oversized textile-covered buttons and richly variegated tweed distinguish the piece from Chanel's more conventional four-pocket jackets and give it a strong, immediately recognisable archive character.
Closure: Double-breasted front fastening with oversized circular textile-covered buttons.
Condition: Very good pre-owned condition. The structured tweed remains richly textured with strong colour definition throughout, while the jacket retains its distinctive cropped silhouette and sculptural shape. The original Chanel brand label and composition/care labels remain present; however, the original production/style and size label has been removed. Any additional light signs of wear are consistent with careful previous ownership.
Please note: As with all pre-owned pieces sold by Another Kind, this jacket may display gentle signs of age and wear consistent with careful ownership, contributing to its authenticity, history and character.
