Maison Martin Margiela AW2003 Artisanal Reconstructed Tanker Jacket

Maison Martin Margiela AW2003 Artisanal Reconstructed Tanker Jacket

A personal favorite from the artisanal line, this jacket was reconstructed by Margiela and his team from authentic vintage French Army Tanker Coveralls sourced from the flea markets of Paris. Unlike most of the atelier’s repurposed items that are completely stripped off of their original markings, this particular model retains its original manufacturer tag and can be traced back to UGECO Nantes 1976, a historical French clothing manufacturer for public services in the mid-late 20th century. The various scratches, frayed edges, loose threads, paint marks, repair embroideries, and other irregularities are all in the nature of the artisanal line, showcasing part of the garment’s own history while giving it a completely unique character. No piece is exactly the same.  Size 2  Condition 9/10   Chest Width ~ 60cm Length ~ 75cm Sleeve Length (collar to cuff) ~ 85cm
