Original Helmut Lang Jean Jacket circa 1998 Brand New, Never Worn

Helmut Lang Denim Jacket, designed by Helmut Lang circa 1998. Never worn. Production date on tag. I folded the cuff up in the photo to show one way to wear the sleeve. Two pockets on the front.

Made in Italy.

About this jacket: I bought this from the Helmut Lang boutique on Greene Street, NYC in 1998. Is more "shapely" than "boxy" and features shirt-like styling.

Why I'm giving this up: I have a jacket "problem." This is an exquisitely made jacket I think deserves to be enjoyed and definitely looks cool now. I am also moving to an apartment in which I'll have less closet space.

Size: 38 (Size XS)

Material: 100% cotton denim. My recommendation for washing is to wear it until it's more dirty than you're comfortable with. Then dry clean, only (twice a year, max.) This is my favorite way to wear in raw denim. The results are incredible.

Measurements: (measured lying flat)
Bust: 18"
Length: 23"
Sleeve: 24"

Condition: Mint, never worn.

Paid: I remember paying in the low $200s for it back in 1998!

Asking: $50 + $8 shipping
